Mildly Interesting

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

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.

That doesn't mean they never expire! Those bagels are months old even if they do expire on a date that doesn't exist!

Imagine the mold!

So it technically didn't expire?

Man I swear I remember this on reddit.. or a post similar to it.

I remember many of my fellow Americans couldn't understand the date format.

Edit: And it looks like the same thing happened here..

You're so close. Even in European date formats, the 29th of February doesn't exist.

[–] gever4ever@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

It exists in leap years. 2023, however, wasn't a leap year.

I understand that.. I'm just talking about the users fixating on the date format. Look at all the examples in the comments.

Yeah that's where I originally posted it. I just remembered it when I first discovered this community on Lemmy and thought I'd share it here as well. I agree with you completely it's crazy how it just inspires so much random discussion on date formats when it's just supposed to be a funny quirk about how the 29th exists in all months except one, except for the years it exists there as well.

They are the expiration date though. Why do you say that so confidently if you don't know what you're talking about?

Too late apparently

I once bought pants that were produced on 31st of June, not even leap year could've explained that 😂
