Theoretically, is it Friday somewhere?

Apologies, on Earth? If so, impossible. As we know, the whole planet rotates 360 in ~24 hours. If not, please clarify the planet.

I’m writing this from the most easterly country west of the dateline. Time zone GMT+12. It will be Friday here before anywhere else. It’s still Wednesday.

When you work shifts (7/7 24h) weekends are whenever you are off duty and Friday can be on Tuesday. So yeah, technically it is Friday somewhere for someone.

We have a national holiday on Friday, so technically tomorrow will be Friday for me, but sadly not today.

Sure, days of the week are just a thing we made up. If you want to can call it Friday. Its all made up, other than some humans, nothing else cares.

Neighbour has a dog called Friday. Get to see Friday 3-5 days a week. (Doesn’t make work any easier, but I always have a smile on my face when I see him)

In your imagination it can always be Friday! Don’t be one of those people who live in “real life” because it’s quite boring.

The furthest time can be is ±12h from your local time (because of politics, weird timezones and summer/winter time I am sure it could maybe be up to ±14, but if all time was sensible it would be 12). So if it is 8:00 at your place, one side of the international dateline will have 20:00 yesterday and the other side is 20:00 today. If your current time is more than 12h away from Friday, then I am sorry to say it is not Friday anywhere on earth. Edit: I wrote this and went to sleep. Woke up thinking, wait this not right! Its ±12 for me because I live close to GMT+0. For people at the date line it would either be -0/+24 or -24/+0. So its actually -12-(your time zone)/+12-(your time zone). But regardless of where you live and what time it is, no place on earth can ever be ±24h from your local time, so when this post was new, it was still impossible.

Today? No, I don't think so :'( Maybe Wednesday, or Monday, but not Friday, not yet
