2021-04-30 at 10:42 PM UTCwhat's a half hour difference
https://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/world/how-a-canadians-mistake-70-years-ago-almost-botched-japans-surrender-document/article26201436/Amidst the solemnity of the occasion, however, came an unusual historical footnote courtesy of the Canadian representative, Colonel Lawrence Moore Cosgrave. When signing the Japanese copy, Col. Cosgrave – perhaps owing to blindness in one eye – placed his scrawl below the line reserved for the Canadian signature and instead signed on the line of the French representative. In the official timeline of the ceremony, a brief but noticeable delay appears after Col. Cosgrave's signing – the French delegate no doubt perplexed as to where to place his signature.
Each subsequent delegate eventually signed on the next available – if incorrect – line; the final delegate from New Zealand simply signing his name in a blank space underneath the others, his signature line having been commandeered by the Dutch.
When the Japanese delegation protested – could they accept a botched surrender document? – Douglas MacArthur's famously brusque chief of staff General Richard Sutherland scratched out the now-incorrect list of Allied delegates and handwrote the correct titles under each signature, adding his initials to each correction to forestall further protest. The Japanese were then dismissed from the USS Missouri with a short "Now it's all fine" from Gen. Sutherland.

Literally only an issue because you assume you already know the time zone. It wouldn't be a problem for Iran because most people would accept the fact that they don't know and they'd have to look it up. But you just assume "oh, Newfoundland is on the east coast so it's gotta be EST!"
WRONG! SAD! -

The point is you're dumb for assuming. You're the problem. Not Newfoundland. Know what you know and what you don't know. Fucking... humans. They don't know a thing, and they blame the thing for being unknown to them and making them wrong. -
