Curious about time.

Hola amigos and amigas, I have a quick question I know I asked this before but I did not get a clear answer for it. What time does the SpanishDict site use? The time here in Indiana is 5:40 but this says it is 10:41 why is it different?

I wondered about that, too. I hope is not a "trade secret!" - Jubilado, Dec 27, 2015
I do not know about that but it is kind of weird you cannot change it to your time. - Nickelbackfan1, Dec 27, 2015

It seems to be UTC, used on the prime meridian and in cities like London.

That is kind of weird for an English and Spanish site wonder why they use it. - Nickelbackfan1, Dec 28, 2015
I think it's like the "default" time zone for computers. The people who built the site decided that time zones are too complicated (and they are much more complicated then you think), so they decided not to bother. - columbus8myhw, Dec 28, 2015
I think that may be the time in Spain as well. Otherwise there is no one time zone that covers everywhere. :) - bosquederoble, Dec 28, 2015
