easy to remember, as 9/11 was a couple of days ago.

[–] onion@feddit.de 12 points 1 year ago (3 children)

You mean 9.11. ?
9/11 is 0.81 repeating

[–] ytg@feddit.ch 8 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

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.

True. History will repeat itself. Never forget.

English speakers: In the first car of the first race in the first tournament.

US: In the first race's first car in the first tournament.

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.

Sorry, I don't listen to rap music

The best epoch

[–] SexualPolytope@lemmy.sdf.org 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] cupcakezealot@lemmy.blahaj.zone 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

everyone should just use stardates

[–] lugal@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 year ago

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.

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 2 points 1 year ago

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

[–] Speiser0@feddit.de 3 points 1 year ago

One day later, today is 1211/100.
