and thus was the Bridge Trolling Time born. It is exactly 42*pi^pi*cos(unixtimestamp^unixtimestamp) forthnights ahead of the Correct Earth Time
It is also absolutely useless.
It oscillates enough however that it's BTT night when you say "morning" and BTT morning when you say "night"
when you say it's "afternoon" because it's one minute past noon, BTT kicks your butt and decides it's Easter.

Uuh, can we not raise stuff by 10 digit numbers? Then it'd actually be calculable =p

@KevinvanderVelden That's the beauty of the Bridge Trolling Time!
If there was a degree in timezones I could go for a PhD by now.

We'd first have to invent time travel for that to become a PhD I suppose

@StrixVaria @Frank @Fluttershy @OrigamiRobot and other @diablo-people why don't we make an Arqade clan?

Try using every atom in the solar system, that might get you there

@Chippies IIRC, @StrixVaria made it a community so that folks with existing clans wouldn't feel left out.

oh okay, so far everyone I've seen doesn't have a clan

@Chippies You are in a clan.

yes, I made Arqade like 2 minutes ago so no one could steal the name!
unless the names don't have to be unique

@Krazer is in a clan too.
I'm not opposed to it being a clan. Communities are kind of weak.
Chippies
Chippies
well, I don't care much for the clan, just figured I'd see what you guys think of it

@KevinvanderVelden There are 10^80 atoms in the universe; if you can store 10 bits of state in them, that's 10^81 bits, so you can store up to 2^10^81 = 10^10^1.9 in it. Unixtimestamp^Unixtimestamp is (10^10)^(10^10).
The Bridge Trolling Time defies the universe!

I wonder if you can use the fact that cosine is periodic to avoid half the calculation

@KevinvanderVelden Probably, but I don't think x^x % 2pi has nice properties.

Just gotta define a different epoch.

I'm really phlegmy today.
I have a lot of phlegm.
phlegm is a really weird word. Seriously, type it.

@FEichinger DieBridgierunTrolliengungZonenTimen (no abbreviation) is defined to be 42*pi^pi*cos(seconds^seconds) fortnights behind the Bridge Trolling Time where "seconds" is the number of seconds since the last invocation of the DieBridgierunTrolliengungZonenTimen.

@badp $epoch = time()-(time()%60);

This creates the DieBridgierunTrolliengungZonenTimen Measurement Paradox, wherein you can't measure the DieBridgierunTrolliengungZonenTimen without changing it!
