Comment (by soulseekah):

 This is interesting. Since Unix Epoch timestamps are in Coordinated
 Universal Time, assuming the `post_date` to be in UTC will yield an
 incorrect timestamp, offset by a predefined number of hours according to
 the set timezone.

 One way would be to add a new case for 'U', but then what about 'r' and
 'c'? Those would also be wrong, since they contain timezone information
 which would just be assumed as UTC. Same for 'e', 'I', 'O', 'P', 'T', 'Z'
 timezone identifiers, they'd all be incorrect.

 What about mixtures thereof?
