I think most people would understand UTC.

Dunno if it is useful, but including the hint

"$ TZ=UTC date"

should allow people to work out when this might be, without
asking the internet.

And for those who prefer to recreate the stockbroker office
look of yore:

$ xclock &
$ TZ=UTC xclock -norender -hd yellow -bg thistle3 &

Apparently ESA is planning a time standard for the moon. I wonder
if the TZ database can deal with timezones running at different
speeds...
