Can someone please explain the International Date Line to me? Obviously I understand time zones but how can there be a place where you always switch days?

So if it's 3 pm Monday on the west side of the IDL it's always 4 pm *Sunday* on the east side, because Monday started at midnight and moved west

(Actually I looked this up and this is inaccurate - if we were logical we'd only have time zones ranging from UTC -12 to UTC +12 but instead some countries lobbied to get special UTC +13 and +14 time zones, which fucks it all up, but that's human society for you)
