Everything Everywhere Daily - Zero, My Hero

This episode is about nothing.

Not in the sense that Seinfield was a TV show about nothing, but rather this is literally about nothing.

Eventually, life got faster. Trains began moving between towns and small differences in time began to cause problems. This eventually led to the creation of time zones, so we could get everyone in the world on the same page as far as what time it is.
