Fedora KDE keeps pushing my clock 8 hours ahead whenever I come back home from school (sopuli.xyz)

update: The issue has been fixed! Turns out all I had to do was set the clock to use UTC time using "timedatectl set-local-rtc 0"...

For some odd reason, whenever I come home (16:00), the clock is set 8 hours ahead (0:00, date jumps to the next day). I have to set my clock manually every time or restart my computer to get the correct time again. ~~There isn't any weird time zone shenanigans~~, the automatic time zone is still correct, and I don't live somewhere with daylight savings. What's wrong with my clock???

I am using Fedora 43 KDE (note: the issue was a thing in 42 KDE as well, but not with 42 Workstation. Either this is a KDE bug or there is some weird conflict with the remnants of gnome stuff. Or maybe I borked something I shouldn't have, idk)

edit: It is time zone shenanigans! My timezone is GMT+8. I have ran "timedatectl set-local-rtc 0" (the warning mentioned this when I ran "timedatectl status" as one person said to do) so let's see if that fixes it

Yes it'll fix the issue. That tells the system that your hardware clock should be in UTC. The time in your hardware clock will then be corrected from the internet as long as your time zone is correct.
