Based on a completely superficial review there are three almost guaranteed ways to become unhinged; studying infinities, refactoring legacy code, and working with timezones.

I think it's time for a refactor of my legacy code that deals with infinite timezones. :/
That's a good idea! Instead of discrete timezones, let's have continuous timezones!
I’ve been a proponent of this for ages. It makes no sense to cross some imaginary line and suddenly time shifts. Time should change constantly as you move east or west, up or down. Everyone has their own personal time, which is constantly updated.
Bonus: no more daylight savings switch.
How do you agree on a meeting time with a group of people who all live in different places of your country?
That’s another benefit: no more meetings.
Not even to spend good times with friends?
That was kinda the situation in the past: Every town would have its own time, synced to the local noon every once in a while as the precision of the church or townhall clock demanded. That stuck around until railroad operators and passengers got sick and tired of dealing with the timetables that produces.
I had to refactor legacy date/time code (including timezone code) at work. D:
You poor soul
Lmao I love how he just gets more and more flabbergasted throughout the whole video. Truly an accurate depiction of dealing with timezones (which I'm unfortunately dealing with right now!)
