California Time: The Land of Eternal Sunshine (and Confusion)
California, the golden state, where dreams are made and avocado toast is a religion. It's also the state that's always three hours behind Eastern Standard Time (EST). That’s right, folks, when it's 5 PM in New York, it's a leisurely 2 PM in LA. Perfect for those of you who want to avoid rush hour traffic, but terrible for scheduling conference calls.
Daylight Saving Time: The Annual Time Heist
To make things even more fun, we've got Daylight Saving Time. This annual ritual of springing forward and falling back is like a cosmic joke played on humanity. In California, it means losing an hour of precious sleep (or gaining an extra hour to Netflix and chill). But here's the kicker: California and most of the Eastern US observe Daylight Saving Time, so the time difference remains a constant 3 hours year-round.
