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.

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?

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.
