Oh happy Saturday!

This is a daily post for “casual” conversation. If you want to post or talk about something non autism related this is where to do it. For example if you want to info dump about your special interest but it doesn’t fall into “autism related” then you can post it here in the comments. All other rules are still active, be respectful to each other.

Happy this community exists, but the illogical american date notation makes this feel like a usa only club.

That's quite a pull from a date format. Is there deeper reasoning it feels that way to you?

05/31/2025 is a very american way of writing dates. the rest of the world typically sorts its dates from smallest to largest (day-month-year) or largest to smallest.

But I am an American (leaving the country doesn't seem an option for us) and this was the rigid system I have been taught to use my entire life. It's a part of my misguided culture.
