Yeah, having TZ set to UTC will do that.
It's probably set somewhere in your bash profile/rc, or the global one. There are some tips on finding out where it may have came from here: https://unix.stackexchange.com/q/813/10762
For now, you can also do unset TZ; date.

It works! Thank you so much.
I've been banging my head on the wall for a while, because of this ;)

Huh, that's intriguing. If tzupdate exited without error, it should have done the same thing.
What does stat /etc/localtime say? Which distribution is this?

It's Ubuntu 16.04.

Does this same behaviour occur with dpkg-reconfigure tzdata with "real" root and sudo?

dpkg-reconfigure tzdata seems to be interactive, it's ok like that?
So I choose America/New-York for my first test. Here are the results...
If I run as "real" root:
...
Current default time zone: 'America/New_York'
Local time is now: Mon Jan 15 19:11:05 EST 2018.
Universal Time is now: Tue Jan 16 00:11:05 UTC 2018.
date
Mon Jan 15 19:11:12 EST 2018
If I run as "sudo" (let's try Antartica):
...
Current default time zone: 'Antarctica/Davis'
Local time is now: Tue Jan 16 07:15:35 +07 2018.
Universal Time is now: Tue Jan 16 00:15:35 UTC 2018.
date
Tue Jan 16 00:16:18 UTC 2018
So this answer your question: Yes it seems like I'm having the same problem when I run your command. Why is it?
I also noticed something strange:
If I run the "date" command as root, I see actual date/time.
If I run the "date" command as sudo, I see UTC time!
So the user and root don't even have the same time... Isn't it weird?
For user, it seems like no matter what I try, it keeps showing UTC time.

What's the output of env and type date as root and your user?

as user:
env
SCREEN_HEIGHT=1020

DEBCONF_NONINTERACTIVE_SEEN=true
TERM=screen-256color
SCREEN_WIDTH=1360
LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8

COLUMNS=268
PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin

HOME=/home/erik
LANGUAGE=en_US:en
DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS=/dev/null
DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive
DISPLAY=:99.0
_=/usr/bin/env
type date
date is /bin/date
As root:
env
SHELL=/bin/bash
TERM=screen-256color
USER=root
LS_COLORS=(removed for readability)
MAIL=/var/mail/root
PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin
PWD=/root
HOME=/root
LOGNAME=root
DISPLAY=:99.0
_=/usr/bin/env
date
date is /bin/date
Note: I see that regular user has env variable "TZ" set to "UTC".
Why is it?
(thanks for helping, btw)
