Want some help? It's intuitive to say month date year out loud. So that's how we write it down too. Today is November 24th 2025 (11/24/25)
Here's another point about the US date system I quite enjoy, the number go in order of lowest maximum integer to greatest maximum integer. The highest the month can go is 12 which is smaller than 31 which is smaller than theoretically infinite. But that's probably not why we do it. I just like that thought.
Speaking that date format is usually reserved for holidays and special occasions in the US. I.e. 4th of July. You also see that data format written out on things like R.S.V.P invitations to weddings and formal gatherings. Not much else.
The US uses metric for military specs, automotive repair parts, US science specs, medicine/pharmacy, jewelry and most grocery products. The US dollar is also metric.
No no, in the year 2505, some dude by the name of Not Sure is gonna save everyone and fix all our problems. I think he's gonna start putting toilet water on the plants or some shit..

The best show that never got the CGI or plot development or really much else it deserved beyond trying to get Jennifer Sky and Gina Torres something to lure Xena fans away as they started to sunset that series.
TIL that Gina Torres sings the theme. Never knew that, and I love it so much.
Holy shit. That show looks awesome and all I know is the tune to the theme song from the Futurama reference. When and where did it air? Looks maybe late 80s early 90s and, like, a sci-fi version of Xena.
It’s… compelling in a really bad B-movie sort of way. Like the idea is great, and some of the scene design and concept is really cool, but it’s genuinely hard to watch in a lot of places between the acting (Cleo herself has a screaming habit, at least early on - I don’t recall if she grew out of it, and is dumb as shit imo) and that it’s clearly meant to be a sex-appeal-hook. Basically fishing for Xena fan crossover, but done so poorly it basically flopped.
In the year 252525,
the backwards time-machine still won't have arrived.
In all the world there's only 1 technology,
a rusty sword for practicing proctology.
The sun looking at all of us in that particular position in our orbit: ..... aww that's cute, they're celebrating again, I wonder why, they've been doing that for a while now, silly little things
We are on the 25th month?
They're talking about 25 january 2027
Ah yes, Orthodox^Orthodox^ Christmas
Or Ultra Orthodox
Orthoducks is my new brand of bird themed footwear.
Don't know I read this as though it meant brand of shoes made for birds.
Ultra Mega Hyper Orthodox
lousy smarvember weather
It feels like there have been 25 months this year.
ah yes, the 25th month of Descrimbruember
Vigintitrember
VentiLatteMochamember
As long as that’s in a bear shaped glass container, I’ll have one.
Is this person not considering the 25th day of the 25th month of 2125?
I regret to inform you that human history will not be occurring on that date.
It'll be like September 3rd, 1752.
Dude... Too soon.
Damn, I had to do some actual research to get that one. Worth it. I chuckled quietly through my nose.
Because it will be human present when it happens, right?
And human future before it happens, which is now!
That’s being optimistic.
It says "for the first time"
“will never happen again.”
That falls on the 69th day of the 420th month, so it’s a special case.
Everyone knows that the only year with 25 months was 2020.
Today is Sunday, March 2093rd, 2020.
No, whenever Trump is president years suddenly have 25 months in them. It did apply in 2020 but the phenomenon is back again.
No, it only feels that way.
Now you know how the rest of the world feels reading US-style dates.
“The rest of the world” as if everyone uses the same date format lmao
DDMMYYYY and YYYYMMDD users can at least agree the other format is still intuitive
I see then we are using YY YY DD format here. Seems bad.
Want some help? It's intuitive to say month date year out loud. So that's how we write it down too. Today is November 24th 2025 (11/24/25)
Here's another point about the US date system I quite enjoy, the number go in order of lowest maximum integer to greatest maximum integer. The highest the month can go is 12 which is smaller than 31 which is smaller than theoretically infinite. But that's probably not why we do it. I just like that thought.
Its intuitive to people used to MM DD YY and unintuitive to everyone else.
Today is the 24th of November.
Speaking that date format is usually reserved for holidays and special occasions in the US. I.e. 4th of July. You also see that data format written out on things like R.S.V.P invitations to weddings and formal gatherings. Not much else.
Thats because the US is used to MM DD YY thats why the US talks like MM DD YY thats why its intuitive to you to use MM DD YY thats why ...
There is no inherent "intuitiveness" to it. Its intuitive if you grew up with it and you use it. It is unintuitive if you didn't.
Nope. In the UK we never say march 6 or something. Sounds wrong
Well God forbid anyone do anything other than the way the British do it. 🙄
Out of responses?
Your (very condescending) point was that "we" say things in a specific way and that should be aligned with how it's written.
No need to lash out at Britain for giving a counterexample in the English speaking world.
Have a good day!
I think the point was that even with your "help", the American date system is still unintuitive to most people using other systems
Also doesn't happen in Dutch, French and German.
Tell me one language where you do say dates like that that isn't the US.
No idea what aus does officially but every single person iv ever talked to there says it like Americans. March the 6th instead of the 6th of March.
Twenty-four november twenty twenty-five works fine too. (dd mm yyyy)
We don't do a lot of things right in America, but MMDDYYYY is one of them.
Daylight Savings Time really sucks though.
I'm neutral on the Metric System.
The US uses metric for military specs, automotive repair parts, US science specs, medicine/pharmacy, jewelry and most grocery products. The US dollar is also metric.
Heck the US Imperial system is now also metric, technically, as everything is converted from SI measurements.
I'm just kidding, I actually prefer Metric when I'm woodworking. It's much easier to multiply and divide measurements.
but in the year 2525 all life on earth will be extinct
also 1925 didn't happen
The 25th month of it sure as shit didn't
I'll make a bold prediction that we won't have 25 months this year either. Maybe next century.
No no, in the year 2505, some dude by the name of Not Sure is gonna save everyone and fix all our problems. I think he's gonna start putting toilet water on the plants or some shit..
This message brought to you by Carls Jr, fuck you!
But if man is still alive, and woman can survive they may find…
[jaunty guitar begins]
Fake. I’ve been to the year 3000 and nothing has changed but we live underwater.
Most people are already under water and Christmas hasn't event came.
I'm so tired and hungover you got me there for a second
Not 2025-12-25, or 12/25/25, or 25/12/25?
I'm confused why we have a 25th month this year.
Also, assuming the human species is still around and celebrates Christmas, there will be a 2525/12/25
If Man is still alive…
In all the world, there's only one technology
A rusty sword for practicing proctology
and Cleopatra is about to discover: There's no place like home.
Holy shit, that looks like pure garbage, I love it! I’m definitely going to be watching this.
You're right on all counts
I have been TRIGGERED.
We don't use that kind of filthy language in this house.
This only works in America as the day and month are the other (correct) way around everywhere else.
This doesn't work here. We have no 25th month.
Wow, nothing gets past you!
That's why I get paid the big monopoly bucks. Nobody has eyes like me!
Maybe Trump will cancel new year's to prevent 2026 from happening, then it will be the third January of 2025.
What they mean to say is: this only works if you eat all the lead paint chips and fuck your sisters until your family tree is a stump.
We have that in the US too though.
It is the first time in human history for christmas to fall on Dec 25, AD 2025. It will never happen again.
Not with that attitude changes the calendar
Umm... It's there in another 100 and 1000 years
We've had a first 2025, what about second 2025?
10000 years
Trump has signed an Executive Order that while he is in office, a year is 25 months.
For Democratic presidents, an entire 4 year term is 5 minutes, and is immediately replaced by another Trump term.
Since he became president, these 9 months have felt like 25 years.
Only thing I can think of reading this is the Cleopatra 2525 intro theme
And the satirical futurama reference
The best show that never got the CGI or plot development or really much else it deserved beyond trying to get Jennifer Sky and Gina Torres something to lure Xena fans away as they started to sunset that series.
TIL that Gina Torres sings the theme. Never knew that, and I love it so much.
Both of those versions are referencing the original by Zager and Evans:

Holy shit. That show looks awesome and all I know is the tune to the theme song from the Futurama reference. When and where did it air? Looks maybe late 80s early 90s and, like, a sci-fi version of Xena.
looks like 2000-2001
It’s… compelling in a really bad B-movie sort of way. Like the idea is great, and some of the scene design and concept is really cool, but it’s genuinely hard to watch in a lot of places between the acting (Cleo herself has a screaming habit, at least early on - I don’t recall if she grew out of it, and is dumb as shit imo) and that it’s clearly meant to be a sex-appeal-hook.

Fun to watch, but don’t expect too much :)
Someone knows Cleopatra 2525 existed!
Typical BC h8ers
If it's BC, then it's pre-historic. That's what the CE/BCE war was about in 1 AD.
Except on 25/25/2525
Well, if we make it that far
If man is still alive
If woman can survive
Your bones might!
In the year 252525, the backwards time-machine still won't have arrived.
In all the world there's only 1 technology, a rusty sword for practicing proctology.
Gotta wait til the year 802,701.
Right, and Santa will be coming down the chimney at 25:25 P. M.
.... Uhm....
... Nvm...
And it falls on a Friday the 13th this year!
Happy Zetember

The war on Halloween has gone too far, now we have 25 straight months of Christmas
This is what happens when you cave to the Europeans on their precious "Metric system."
Aight which one is the month?
The 25. You haven't heard of Vigintiquinquember?
Actually, because of Caesar and Augustus adding months, the 25th month is only Vigintitrisember
Of course! How could I forget ¯\(°_o)/¯
Ahh but if you double 12 and add 1 you get 25
Its the 25th December of the Millennium.
I mean. There was also 0025, 0125, 0225... It's actually fallen on 25/25/25 20 times now...
Christianity is in decline. By the next 25/25/25, it'll just be the release date of Elder Scrolls 6.
That sucks because I really want FO5 and Todd has said they arent going to start on that until after ES6 is released.
TickyTockers need to be prescribed less screen time. Or to have to work out logic and reasoning puzzles before interacting with their devices.

No that's dum
Nah thats roman
There won't be Christmas, but we'll celebrate Looferboofem and the second coming of TechnoChrist in 2125.
Why do I keep falling for this shit man T-T
Hoomflember is the daintiest month Breeding cabbages out of dirt farms Broiled sweet and covered with calt
what a terrible date format
It will happen again every hundred years unless we change how the date is formatted in the future.
The sun looking at all of us in that particular position in our orbit: ..... aww that's cute, they're celebrating again, I wonder why, they've been doing that for a while now, silly little things
Whoa!
At first I was like... hmm, what about... but then I was like... my god...
Unless we change to a new time system again
@ickplant Except they started counting about 4 years late... so it's 25/25/29 in fact... (we know exactly when king Herod died).
Can someone explain this? I read every comment and still don't get it
It's a shitpost. There's no way it can happen. December is always the 12th month, not the 25th.
Also if it wasn't, it would have happened in the year 25 and 1025, and would happen in 3025, 4025 and so on.
You’re making it worse :)
