Usually such things have a simple explanation. systemd does a lot with time and date, for example scheduling tasks. It's quite obvious that it has this capabilities, when you think about it.

Well. I mean, that's pretty cool. I don't think I would have ever guess that was an actual function from systemd but here we are
That's actually really cool!
No Christmas for 5 years?? Why are you doing this to us, systemd???
God, I only have one question...
Why?
I bet it's for timers
Did you know the next Friday the 13th is in December? ChatGPT didn't know it. (I had to give it an extra date.now for it to figure it out)
Thanks! I hate this. 🖤
Oh fuck. I'll use this from now on. Except for if I won't use it next week. Then I'll forget about it because my memory is a damn sieve.
Just take the next step and make a text file you dump all these commands into and then forget about in a week. When you randomly stumble across it years from now you’ll be able to say “wow, I could have used this 10 months ago if I remembered it existed!”
I make a separate text file per command so I can search them!
Which I dont.
I usually print these out and put them in a safe deposit box at a bank so I never lose them

That's pretty clever.
