The internet is filled with things. Here is one of them.
Australian Central Western Standard Time2024 Oct 30
This time zone is an obnoxious UTC+8:45 (yes, really) and covers a tiny and nearly-uninhabited strip along Western Australia's southeastern-most coast. But not entirely uninhabited, clearly, or else why exist? So for these few hundred people, they live in a world where their clocks are 15 minutes off the hour.
Perhaps this is less a weird time zone, and more a community staunchly holding out against the idea of time zones in the first place, back when each community set their own local noon and inter-state commerce just happened when it happened.
