I thought Anywhere on Earth is the last time at which the clock changes to the next day anywhere on earth, and End of Day is just by the end of the day in whichever time zone you’re in?
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.
