Different languages have different conventions. For example, the standardized variety of my language allows 11/(0)9/2001, 11/(0)9/01, 11.(0)9.2001, 11.(0)9.01, 2001-09-11, 2001/09/11, 2001.09.11 (personally I usually use 11/09 without the year and 2001-09-11 with the year).

Sorry, I'm just still used to Reddit, where people say stuff like this completely seriously.

The only universally correct date format is ISO.

I'm so glad we all use 315/23 for the date. Much easier if you just leave out the month.

[–] SexualPolytope@lemmy.sdf.org 20 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Years are also redundant. It's day 738835.

Day 1 can only be when the first creature crawled on land or when Adam spanked eve erotically for the first time. I don't recognize any other.

Um what about Jan 1 1970?

I'd prefer to count them from the big bang, but to each their own.

[–] LordAmplifier@pawb.social 8 points 1 year ago

Adam spanking Eve erotically was the Big Bang

And everyone does, but everyone has their own standard

You all are so concerned about the formatting of the date, but I dont see any of you buying a new copy of a certain game to avoid Todd Howard's curse

[–] curiosityLynx 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Can you unpack that one for me? I have zero idea of what you're talking about other than Todd Howard being an executive of Bethesda.

Buy the yearly copy of Skyrim to appease Him and keep holy the date of 11/11/11.

One day later, today is 1211/100.
