This package of bagels I bought expired on a date that doesn't exist.
This package of bagels I bought expired on a date that doesn't exist.
I originally posted this on the other site back when I took the picture, and it resulted in a lot of confused comments, especially from Americans, eventually getting removed by overzealous mods. Either way, I promise you that this date does not exist, and has never existed.
You're viewing a single thread.
Uh am I just special, because I saw February 29th 2023 immediately Isn't a lot of things formatted in the DD/MM/YYYY type especially for expiration dates
February 29th 2023 isn't a real date
That's the point lmfao
Then what is the point of your first comment?
It's just the EU date style.
I find my brain reads dates the US way first and then immediately rereads the EU way after, when that doesn't make sense. It's pretty automatic.
Not even tangentially related.. but I replaced the dumb American (and I know UK as well) 3 fingers gesture with the German 3 when I learned of it as a teenager. It's so much more efficient and reasonable compared to stretching our fingers out unnaturally...
Isn't it basically the rest of the world style? like metric?
ISO8601 is the one true date format
