Note also that it only shows the system's time zone, and not
necessarily that of the user running it:

$ timedatectl ; echo ; date
               Local time: Wed 2024-03-06 19:18:58 UTC
           Universal time: Wed 2024-03-06 19:18:58 UTC
                 RTC time: Wed 2024-03-06 19:18:58
                Time zone: Etc/UTC (UTC, +0000)
System clock synchronized: yes
              NTP service: active
          RTC in local TZ: no
