Gargantuan Tarantula (OP) User ID: 81086767 ![]() 03/19/2023 11:31 PM ![]() Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Ok ok I’ll tell a brief summary of my Dad’s story, on a ship in the navy back in the day he crossed the line both ways. First was westbound and they all had to work double shifts with no breaks and no sleeping since they lost a whole day. On the way back, eastbound, they stopped in the middle of the ocean and partied and barbecued and drank beer for a whole day! ![]() I do not care for the equatorial crossing stories where those who are first time crossers get abused and treated like sea turtles |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 85471541 ![]() 03/19/2023 11:37 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Please! I really enjoy my Dad’s stories from the navy about it. I’ve only crossed once, westbound on my way to Australia. I’m looking forward to visiting America this year and crossing the other way, eastbound. Quoting: Gargantuan Tarantula Today is the anniversary of the day that I completely lost when I crossed that line westbound. My missing day. Left Los Angeles at 10:00 pm and arrived in Australia after 16 hours at 8am 2 days later. Oh and for all you flat earthers how did I have a 15 hour night over an ocean? When I go back to the states I will get to repeat a day, I’ll get my missing day back! Was dreaming about it just before I woke up and In the dream I spent my day driving around LA, buying a sh*t load of stuff from 7-11, and chatting with the locals on my way to San Pedro. When and where did you cross the line and which direction? How did you feel about losing or gaining an entire day? I found 2 threads: Thread: Is the International Date Line a straight line? Thread: Time - International Date Line The flat earthers will say something like the magical machine that transports you to the other side has been calibrated to account for the date line. Those idiots come up with all sorts of malarkey to keep their dumb theory alive. |

I’m an avid window watcher in a plane and I watched that darn sun set in LA before we started chasing after it in the airbus. The journey proved ball earth for me, unequivocally. Then the whole everything in the sky is upside down and half the sky is totally unfamiliar constellations confirmed it. Last Edited by Gargantuan Tarantula on 03/19/2023 11:41 PM |
