@ickplant Except they started counting about 4 years late… so it’s 25/25/29 in fact… (we know exactly when king Herod died).
… Uhm…
… Nvm…
At first I was like… hmm, what about… but then I was like… my god…
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.
Aight which one is the month?
The 25. You haven’t heard of Vigintiquinquember?
Of course! How could I forget ¯\(°_o)/¯
I’m so tired and hungover you got me there for a second
Ahh but if you double 12 and add 1 you get 25
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
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.
Twenty-four november twenty twenty-five works fine too. (dd mm yyyy)
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!
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.
I think the point was that even with your “help”, the American date system is still unintuitive to most people using other systems
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.
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.
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.
I see then we are using YY YY DD format here. Seems bad.
This is what happens when you cave to the Europeans on their precious “Metric system.”
We are on the 25th month?
They’re talking about 25 january 2027
Ah yes, OrthodoxOrthodox Christmas
Or Ultra Orthodox
Ultra Mega Hyper 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.
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.
Except on 25/25/2525
Well, if we make it that far
If man is still alive
If woman can survive
Your bones might!
