Which timezone is this? B-, good effort

[-] [email protected] 7 points 2 years ago

Yeah, we need some

YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SS-TZ

All up in here. Gotta replace the last - with a + where applicable... Or just put a big old Z there instead... Optionally add some .### after the second too if you're so inclined.

Awww yeahhhhhh. I like that.

I used to be pro-8601 until I learned the open standard that is RFC 3339

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

[-] [email protected] 13 points 2 years ago

You mean 9.11. ?
9/11 is 0.81 repeating

[-] [email protected] 9 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

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.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

repeating

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.

[-] [email protected] 61 points 2 years ago

The only universally correct date format is ISO.

[-] [email protected] 27 points 2 years ago

I too use disk images as date trackers

[-] [email protected] 13 points 2 years ago

Catch me loading up a new version of Super Smash Bros Melee every time I gotta save a timestamp.

[-] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago

look, it's windows xp sp3 o'clock

[-] [email protected] 8 points 2 years ago

I prefer RFC 3339, less ambiguous.

[-] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago

in the first tournament's first race's first car

[-] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

ISO mid, RFC on top

[-] [email protected] 32 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

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

[-] [email protected] 31 points 2 years ago

Years are also redundant. It's day 738835.

[-] [email protected] 21 points 2 years ago

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

[-] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

The best epoch

[-] [email protected] 9 points 2 years ago

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

[-] [email protected] 11 points 2 years ago

Adam spanking Eve erotically was the Big Bang

[-] [email protected] 14 points 2 years ago

I don’t want to hear shit about what order we write numbers in from a continent where numbers include one hundred nine and thirty to mean 139, or three twenties ten and nine for 79

[-] [email protected] 14 points 2 years ago

If you're so mad at Fr*nch and German numbers, don't look up Danish numbers. Unless you can guess what "five and half five's". Did you guess 95? Why would you?

[-] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago
[-] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago

It's a twenty based system. "Two's" is 40, "three's" is 60, ...

50 is "halfway to 60" so it's "half three's", likewise "half four's" for 70, "four's" for 80 and "half five's" for 90. 100 is its own word so "half five's" exists but "five's" doesn't.

[-] [email protected] 12 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Seventeen is 7+10 (seven+teen) but twenty one is 20+1 (twenty+one)

If English was more consistent, seventeen would be ten seven.

[-] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago

If it was really consistent, it would be something like onety seven but not really either, since it's also not twoty seven.

PS: Eleven would be onety one.

Extra fancy Winnie the Pooh: YYYY/MM/DD

[-] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

I label all of my notes like 'YYYYMMDD_some_title_here' so they automatically sort by when I made them when sorted by name, or YYYYMMDDHHmm if the note won't be getting a title (such as daily notes or notes that I made too quickly to care about titling)

[-] [email protected] 10 points 2 years ago

everyone should just use stardates

[-] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

And everyone does, but everyone has their own standard

[-] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago
[-] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

One day later, today is 1211/100.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

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

[-] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

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.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

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

This didn't age well (I guess I should have looked at it 5 days ago).

[-] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Or waited until 12th of December.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Ah, good point.

Edit: I wasn't trying to be mean or anything with my posts. Just wanted to be dumb haha. I hope no one took it the wrong way.
