It is not obfuscation.  It is the standard representation of time as
defined by the POSIX specification.  Databases are for machine
processing, and programs that display data from databases for humans
should format/transform appropriately.

You are running into the difference between "human readable" and "nerd
readable" :-)

On the command line, "date +%s" will show the current time as a POSIX
time_t, and "date -r N" will show the human-readable date/time at time_t
value N.

Very likely you can put some sort of conversion function into a sql
select statement when grabbing time and whatever for inspection.  But
beware of zones and DST.
