Because Apparently, Google is Broken (Sometimes)
Let's face it, sometimes the internet just lets us down. You reach for your phone in a caffeine-fueled panic, needing to know if it's an acceptable hour to blast Nickelback (it's never acceptable, but moving on). But what if the internet gods are taking a nap? Don't fret! This handy-dandy guide will have you Oklahoma time-savvy in no time (which, as everyone knows, is a relative concept when you're dealing with a good state fair corn dog).
Here are some tried-and-true methods (minus the sundial, because who even has time for that?):
QuickTip: Use the post as a quick reference later.
- The Phone a Friend Technique: Dial up your buddy in Oklahoma. Just be prepared for a lengthy conversation about the Sooners' latest game (or whatever Oklahomans are gossiping about these days).
- The Watch on the Wrist: This one's a shocker, right? But hey, if you have a watch that can magically display the time in different time zones, more power to you. Just don't judge the rest of us who are rocking last year's fitness tracker (the battery life is AMAZING).
- The Strategically Placed News Channel: Does your local news like to brag about being "live" everywhere in the nation? Use that to your advantage! Just be sure to factor in any anchor banter about the weather (it's probably gonna storm somewhere in Oklahoma, that's just science).
But Seriously, Folks...
While these methods may provide some entertainment value, let's be honest, the internet usually works. So, if you're reading this and scoffing at our low-tech solutions, kudos to you. But for those times when the internet fails you (or you just need a good laugh), remember this guide.
And hey, if all else fails, there's always the Oklahoma Time Machine: just hop in a car, drive west until you hear Garth Brooks on the radio, and voila! You're in Oklahoma time. (Please don't actually do this. Traffic is a nightmare).
Tip: Don’t skip — flow matters.
