Time and conversions

Timezone overviews, time conversion, Unix timestamps, quick math, and value conversions.

Check the time around the world with /tz. Turn a Unix timestamp into a readable date with /epoch on Telegram or .epoch on Discord. Convert currency amounts with /conv on Telegram. On either platform, you can also ask Rick in chat for math or timezone help.

Timezones and time conversion

/tz on its own shows the current time in UTC, New York, London, Tokyo, and Sydney, followed by any custom timezones and the home timezone. The home timezone is UTC until someone sets it.

To convert a clock time instead:

  • Use HH:MM or HHMM with a timezone. Rick converts it into the home timezone and lists it across the popular and custom zones.
  • Use now with a timezone to see the current time there.
  • Name a timezone by city (Berlin), abbreviation (EST, PST, JST), offset (UTC+5), or full name (Europe/London).

Over 500 IANA timezones are supported and you do not have to type them out in full: Rick picks the best match, so /tz set new york works.

Home and custom timezones are stored per chat on Telegram and per server on Discord. The five popular zones are always shown and cannot be added to the custom list. Anyone can change them; admins are not required. Set a home timezone first, then add the zones your members live in so the output is useful for the whole community.

  • /tz - overview.
  • /tz <HH:MM> [timezone] - convert a time, for example /tz 1400 or /tz 1400 Paris. If you omit the timezone, Rick treats the time as the home timezone.
  • /tz now <timezone> - current time in that timezone.
  • /tz set <timezone> - set the home timezone, for example /tz set Berlin.
  • /tz add <timezone> and /tz del <timezone> - manage the custom list.

/tz works in groups and in DM.

All supported timezones

The full list of accepted timezone identifiers, as published in the Supported Timezones reference. Rick matches partial names, so /tz set new york or /tz set berlin works without the exact identifier.

Unix timestamps

  • /epoch <timestamp> - the full date and time in UTC, for example /epoch 1685950699.

Value conversions

Turn token quantities into their dollar equivalents, or convert between currencies and assets.

  • /conv <amount> <from> [to] - convert an amount between two currencies or assets at current prices, for example /conv 250 eur usd. /calc and /v do the same.
  • /v 2 <symbol> - the value of 2 units of a token.
  • /conv sol - the current SOL price.
  • /v 10m <contract address> - the value of 10 million units of a memecoin.

You can write amounts as 1k, 2.5k, 1m, or 10b. Either /conv 2.5k eur usd or /conv 2.5k eur to usd works. If you omit the target, Rick converts to USD. When the amount is not 1, the reply also shows the rate for one unit.

For memecoins, always use the contract address instead of the symbol, so Rick prices the right token.

Ask Rick instead

On both platforms, Rick can answer math and timezone questions in chat. Each reply costs 1 AI credit, like any Core AI reply.

  • Math - ask a calculation in plain language, for example what is 12 * 1.5^3 or sqrt(144) + pi.
  • Timezones - ask for a time in another zone, for example what 14:30 EST is in Tokyo. City names, IANA names such as Europe/London, and common abbreviations such as EST, PST, JST, BST, CET, and AEST all work.
  • Token values - ask in plain language, for example Rick how much SOL can I buy with $500? or How much is 5 BNB worth?.
