Is it possible to have caching an optional thing?

When you're running snippets that has anything to do with time 
then you need to change the code every time to get proper results 
and it's tedious.

I thought there was a bug in my code, but it was just because the 
output was cached.

Not really, sorry. The caching is required which makes it a lot 
tractable to send serve many requests.

The proper solution would be to set the time to a fixed date 
then, s.t. people don't get confused.

Well my snippet was about generating some timestamps and then 
generating some results based on that and with a fixed time it 
would look like all results were generated the same.

Ex. it was actually a small snippet for a random generator.

So I was really confused by it and thought there was a bug in my 
code since 1. the seed would always be the same 2. all numbers 
generated were the same because of that.
