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.

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.

repeating

True. History will repeat itself. Never forget.

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

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.

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

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?

14

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.

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

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

11

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.

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

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