~$ LC_ALL=C date -d @0
Thu Jan 1 01:00:00 CET 1970

Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 UTC 1970

I think I configured my date format a couple of years ago. I only use
ISO-8601 date format (which happens to be almost identical to my locale)
for everything I do, so I try to configure everything, if possible, to use
that and nothing else. Since I did that long ago, I don't how a clue now
how I did it… unless I made a note somewhere.
