Nightmare with dates

I have this line of code:

date: new Date(Date.UTC(currentDate.getUTCFullYear(), currentDate.getUTCMonth(), currentDate.getUTCDate()))

For whatever reason when I view it in the Vue addon for devtools, it shows the date in my local timezone

Is there any packages or anything that makes working in UTC easier? It's driving me up the wall that I have to keep changing everything to UTC, and then sometimes even then it refuses to be in UTC

Why is JavaScript like this?
