Anywhere on Earth (AoE) is a calendar designation that indicates that a period expires when the date passes everywhere on Earth. It is a practice to help specify deadlines such as “June 9, 2026, End of Day, Anywhere on Earth (AoE)” without requiring time zone calculations or daylight saving time adjustments.
Maybe “EoD” is then redundant. To my eyes, though, it disambiguates “AoE,” as in the Wikipedia quotes. When I google “AoE” by itself, I get information on the video game Age of Empires. When I google the phrase “EoD AoE,” I instead get explainers of Anywhere on Earth deadlines.
In any case, I’ll link an explainer to the AoE usages in the post.
