“It’s Mountain Time” is what your mom says when she calls me.

What’s ‘Mountain’? I’ve seen TV shows advertised as Eastern, then their voice gets quiet and they mention Central. Sometimes they do the same for Pacific. Never heard of ‘Mountain.’ Sounds fake.

there’s only like 8 people there, so it doesn’t really matter.

People on mountain time have mountains to entertain them, so they dont watch tv

I’m one of them. At least 3 of us are on Lemmy!

They claim it includes New Mexico, but I don’t see why we’d have a new Mexico when the old one is still perfectly good. Sounds fake to me

Even old New Mexico was once New Amsterdam.

The area that New Mexico occupies was named Nuevo Mexico before Mexico existed and was called Mexico

If you live in Eastern, you’ve heard Central on tv or the radio because it neighbors you and some people in Central might be getting the same broadcast. You’ve heard Pacific because a lot of media is out of LA. There’s nothing important in the Mountain time zone, and it’s far away from you, so you don’t hear about it often.

It’s 245pm in California right now.
If you go to parts of Arizona they might tell you it’s 345pm. Ask in Phoenix and they’ll say 245pm.
Ask in Phoenix in the winter and they remember to say hour different from Pacific time.
They can’t get the story straight.
