Standard Microwave Cooking Time (SMCT)

n. to disregard listed microwave oven instructions and instead use a personalized set time to heat any and all microwaveable food items

I can't find the box for the popcorn so I'll just use standard microwave cooking time (SMCT) and hope it doesn't burn.

International Business Standard Time (IBST)

International Standard Business Time is a "time zone" that does not change based on location. This time is the same throughout the planet. If it is 10:00 IBST in Moscow, it is also 10:00 IBST in Texas. IBST allows international companies to sync with each other. It is most commonly seen in the 24hr format- I.e. 00:00 is midnight. IBST is the same as GMT, but as earlier stated, is recognized globally and does not depend on location.

We've set a meeting with all the GMs via Skype conference for July 11th at 1300 International Business Standard Time (IBST).

Standard Time

The sense of time we used to experience, as we tried and failed to reclaim it on November 1, 2020.

She awoke on November 1, 2020, eight months into Covid world, four years in the Trumpian alternative universe, and found herself trying to name the daze of the week, wondering how many of them until November 3, 2020, when something or nothing might change, maybe a few months or hours, who could say, and was reminded that she was back on Standard Time. It sounded so nice. She was sure it used to mean something...

Pandemic Standard Time

The time zone everyone on Earth is on due to the pandemic. All of time seems to be mushed and nobody can remember the day.

Two friends texting in late 2020:
Friend 1: "Omg I just thought it was Tuesday."
Friend 2: "It is Tuesday!"

Friend 1: "OMG haha wow. See I got confused cause I had two similar events today and yesterday."
Friend 2: "You must be stuck in Pandemic Standard Time"
