    You heard of standby and the likes? What do you recon that does to programs calculating with time in that exact moment?

      I… Actually don’t know.

      The real time clock continues to move in real time under reasonable conditions. If it’s in a weird year it’s either because you’ve decided to run a disk you found in a cave, left by the Ancient Ones, or you’re cheating at Animal Crossing.

      I’m a little unclear on how the rest of the clocks typically work together. If your program is drawing from one that gets stopped for a while, I guess yeah, a minute could totally be weeks long, and I’m in the picture as a falsehood believer.
