Time is location-dependant (time zones).

paradite on Sept 10, 2015 [–]

You are missing the point. My point is that that particular datetime is parsed as

2013-02-03 19:54:00 +0000 PST

on some machines, and

2013-02-03 19:54:00 -0800 PST

on others. This is means that the timezone offset IS different and the absolute time IS different. One is 8 hours ahead of another even though the original string is the same.
