i've recently learned about a time system similar to Internet Time, called TermiSoc Time (prefixed as Tt).
the only information that i could find about Tt comes from this Fandom wiki article that mentions it, and an archive of the wiki page for the time system.

it seems to have been made in 2006. this system divides time into equal parts similar to Internet Time, except it divides it into 1024 "bytes", where one byte is equal to 84.375 seconds, and midnight or 0 bytes is equal to midnight in UTC.

when i first heard of internet time from this place, i didnt think there would be anything similar to it since it wasn't very popular to begin with, so the fact there was a sort of 'competitor' devised years later that is practically non-existent is very interesting to me and i thought i'd share it with y'all !

Interesting. Reminds me of the difference between a GB being 1000MB and a GiB being 1024MB

Oh this is awesome! I might tinker with Melon's script to show swatch time to make a version for TermiSoc for fun! Heck all these funky internet time projects has me wanting to devise my own! Definitely getting ahead of myself, we'll see where I'm at after messing with the swatch script :ohdear:
