I made a page that always says it's 5 O'Clock

I'm known for my silly jokes and goofy antics. I'm also a bit of a dad when it comes to my humour (You can blame that on me being raised by a boomer).

So today, I'm announcing my latest (and first!) goofy project on this website, very unoriginally named "5 O'clock".

It's pretty simple. It uses your computer to calculate the nearest timezone where it's 5 (PM or AM, either way you deserve a drink), and displays it proudly like a clock.

You can access the page here.

If you need an informercial to convince you to use this, there's one below.

Infomercial to use on your bosses

Are you tired of checking your watch and realising it's not time for beers yet? Are you sick of waiting for the work day to end? Well good news - here at the Ben Cinematic Universe, we've solved that!

Introducing the newest (and arguably most important) page on the website: 5 O'clock!

No matter when you visit, it'll always be 5-something somewhere in the world - complete with the country and timezone to prove it. It's the perfect reminder that, somewhere out there, someone's clock says that it's time to crack open a cold one.

So next time you're staring down your to-do list, just remember:

It's 5 O'clock. Somewhere in the world... Probably.
