time is represented in the Rails app's timezone

From the description of Time.current (which is a Rails extension of Ruby’s native Time class)

“Returns Time.zone.now when Time.zone or config.time_zone are set, otherwise just returns Time.now.”

so 3.days.ago, for example, is in the application’s configured timezone (if it’s configured).
