The question is pretty simple. How can I get the current UNIX timestamp in seconds in GDScript?

It’s as simple as OS.get_unix_time(). It will return an int being the number of seconds since January 1st, 1970, AKA the UNIX epoch.
why are you asking and answering your own questions?

It’s an usual thing on stackoverflow, and as I saw that some people were doing it here, too, I jumped onto the bandwagon

@Howl ~ Just make sure not to overuse this 
better to answer questions on-demand than have many useless questions (I’m NOT implying that this question is useless)

I found this useful. Thanks!

When there is no one asking because the question looks very noob, one can ask and answer by himself, which is great

I found this useful and find the habit of asking and answering your own questions also useful. It’s so cheap to post something on a forum and so costly to wait for hours or days for someone to answer that posting in advance is a smart way to document our knowledge.
