> Morocco runs on UTC+1 most of the year but switches to UTC during Ramadan to shorten the fasting day

Unrelated, but I love coming across religious "hacks" like these that communities have developed over the years.

A similar one is the fishing line that jews tied around New York to get around the rules of Sabbath https://www.npr.org/2019/05/13/721551785/a-fishing-line-enci....

Irrelevant to this post, but Morocco switching to UTC does not change the number of hours fasted as that is based on sunset and sunrise so not really a religious "hack" but more similar to daylight saving (work hours remain same).

Moroccan here. We used to switch timezones 4 times a year, and I guarantee you it was exhausting!
