    now that the shitty joke has been replicated, but this time without a smelly computer involved, it has so much soul!

    good job taking the idea the guy that fed his idea into the computer , and then making it again, but looking worse.

    You truely are the John Henry of our time.

      Sure, there are no arms fused with tables, giant talking glasses of water representing the optimists, or inexpressive faces in a generic artstyle, but… wait, these are upsides.

        What heathen uses yyyy/dd/mm??? As far as I know, americans use mm/dd/yyyy (which is just another unhinged date format, but not as much as yyyy/dd/mm)

        In this house we either use yyyy/mm/dd or dd/mm/yyyy.

            I would use it more often if it was the standard, but unfortjnately I’m stuck with dd/mm/yyyy… for now

              I’m not stuck with anything anymore since I just got fired during a fucking work trip. They made me buy my flight home, and book a 300 km Uber trip.

                That sounds illegal. If you’re in the US look into detrimental reliance and promissory estoppel.

                  I’ll tack those onto the wrongful termination case on which I’ve got them dead to rights. Promissory estoppel is sadly not a thing in most of the US, though, as far as I’m aware.

          I use yyyy-mm-dd as it allows me to alphabetically sort it and still get it in proper order

            Exactly! I’m European so I’m kinda stuck with dd/mm/yyyy already, but even then it’s better than mm/dd/yyyy because it still has an order, even if inverse

          Y/m/d sucks honestly. It’s the opposite order of what you want. Day is most critical, then month, then year. That’s the order it should be in. Everything else is different levels of bad.

            Ever archived hand written documents and got furries because no one writes the year on them? Once you have documents that are relevant for a longer period, you see how uncritical the day can be

            Nah, YYYY/MM/DD lets you sort by year, momth and day easily. Specially with digital registers. I stopped using dd/mm/yyyy for personal files when they started mixing the ones of different months but the same day.

    I was about to doodle something like this, but looks like folks are beating me to it. Great that debates sometimes lead to results.
