~~Yes, and the OP article is talking about tankers going across the Atlantic. So these are two separate things. (Maybe related things, but neither article connects the two)
I personally found no source relating then, but I may not know what to search for.~~
Edit: I see now that the OP did list those as airbase where tankers landed after crossing the Atlantic.

That article is talking about tankers deployed from their European bases.

The video shows, it isn't that they accidentally sat in a seat, but they were posing as if they were going to sit on it, but fell back into it.

My point is that what you posted as evidence bigotry is not really very strong. Certainly, if that joke was posted by a bigot it would be punching down. But otherwise it is just a normal situational joke.

I guess I don't get the context. What i see is OP pouring a screenshot of a tweet exchange to ImGoingToHellForThis. The idea of the community being that the material is inappropriate but still has an element of humor.

So, op posted a joke that someone else made they knew was in bad taste, but got a chuckle from? That sets a pretty low bar for calling someone a bigot.

Yes, that is the case for being in your own timezone, but what if you are dealing with someone in another country, you will need some way to know quickly what their local dayurnal situation is. Or if you are travelling, the jet lag will be compounded by confusion.

But then we would need some method to quickly discern the relative position in the day/night cycle of a locality, perhaps some form of number to indicate the percentage of a day before or after midnight their local area is at. Then probably just add that offset so that the viewer doesn't need to do the math everytime.
