and where does she live?? in the kernel file ./kernel/time/time.c π§ that's her address, that's her whole zip code, iykyk.
ngl the whole time-conversion family is lowkey huge and they all reference each other β so if you're here for one of them, you're probably here for like six of them. that's just the vibe check. π
kisses bestie, this page came to you from ./kernel/time, dated October 2026, under the Kernel API Manual β go convert something iconic today πππ
