Saladman posted:Are you interpreting this backwards? I think you're the first person I've ever heard of who doesn't like daylight savings time. Even the few psychopaths I know who get up at 5am every day still like having more sun later in the day. For another perspective, what I hate is having to adjust the clock by an hour twice per year. Would rather have the equivalent of DST all year although it doesn't matter that much since I live in Norway. In deep winter it's dark when we go to work or school and it's dark again when the work- or schoolday is over. In high summer it barely gets dark for a bit around midnight and the sun is up hours before anyone with regular hours has to get out of bed.

There's a lot to unpack with the map, but I'd like to start with the timeline that has smallpox lasting to 2011. Spain gets sliced up, Northern Ireland remains independent, Norway and Sweden get fused, Crimea is annexed, Palestine still exists on an otherwise united Arabian peninsula and levant, but has to exist alongside some kind of separate jewish state. Also a wildly expanded Jewish Autonomous Oblast.

Some truly hilarious details in this map. Leninderry - lol For some reason they didn't change the name of Monrovia?? There's a city in northwest Argentina named Verdugo de los Ricos ("Executioner of the Rich") and I have no idea why No Basque ASSR They use some of the Indian city renamings (Kolkata) but not all of them (Madras) New Zealand is called the "Aotearoan SSR" but all the city names are still just the ones given by the English - also I'm pretty sure you can't adjective-fy Aotearoa like that They renamed Belo Horizonte ("Beautiful Horizon") to Horizonte Vermelho ("Red Horizon") which seems lazy

It's either 11:30 or 12:30 depending on whether daylight savings is active nor not. Not to mention that due mainly to eccentricities in the Earth’s orbit, noons aren’t a consistent number of seconds apart, but clocks run at a uniform rate, so true noon comes up to fourteen minutes late or sixteen minutes early even if you have a clock set perfectly for your longitude and don’t use DST.

The city formerly known as “Tokyo”, lit. “eastern capital” becomes “Akakyo”, lit. “red capital”. Another I noticed in that hemisphere is that Port Moresby becomes “Red Victory”.

I tried google searching to find the source and there's another map that is the evil version (notice the mentions of purges and Beria succeeding Stalin): Also the names are much funnier.

Anyone who gives Hoxha a job before any other communist leader or politician of that era is crazy. I also don't see any communist leader during the Beria getting out alive if it's a more oppressive era than the Stalin period. Maybe Hoxha was one of the few left standing.

That is correct up to a point, he was killed mostly because he was a threat to the ascendant Krrushchev faction. Also, the head of the secret police was a very risky position with only one possible exit

It's an open question as to whether he was actually going to do it or if Khrushchev just overstated the point to get more approval for killing him, but the accusation was that he intended to allow Germany to reunify and sell them back East Prussia in exchange for access to Marshall plan money. And also just generally give more freedom to the countries of eastern Europe. With that extra money and the backing of the west he'd then murder everyone (this part is almost certainly true). All in all Beria wasn't a land of contrasts and was clearly an irredeemable oval office and serial killer.
