Welcome to Tuesday Trivia!

If you are:

• a long-time reader, lurker, or inquirer who has always felt too nervous to contribute an answer
• new to /r/AskHistorians and getting a feel for the community
• Looking for feedback on how well you answer
• polishing up a flair application
• one of our amazing flairs

• *this thread is for you ALL!**

Come share the cool stuff you love about the past!

• *We do not allow posts based on personal or relatives' anecdotes.** Brief and short answers are allowed but **MUST** be properly sourced to respectable literature. All other rules also apply—no bigotry, current events, and so forth.

• *For this round, let’s look at:** **Time & Timekeeping**! The COVID-19 pandemic has led to the concept of COVID time - where our collective sense of time seems out of whack. Do you know of other times in history when something similar has happened? Or of a historical society or culture with an interesting approach to time and timekeeping? Today's thread is a space to share all the cool things you know about how the passage of time has been documented.
