I refuse to accept date/time formats that don’t sort automatically. yyyy-MM-dd or bust
Do you use dates only in computer’s files?
See you in 89 years
Nah, we’ve got this coming up in 5
31-4-15 9:26am
That’s 03:14 if it’s HH/MM, you absolute heathen.
03.1415926
man printf
Yeah, and π is 3.141592654…, so if you round up to the nearest ten millionth it’s actually 3.1415927
Sorry OP, gotta wait till next year…
Still works as there’re plenty of mathematicians that would love for people to acknowledge the infinite zeros preceding each number.
The real problem in this case is if you write september as 09.
Fuck it, let’s do MM:HH next.
People complaining about the time and date format, and not the equal sign for an approximation…
Any intelligent person uses MM:HH 😤
Well, you can celebrate it with us inbreeds then.
Then you can celebrate at 2:03PM…
τ/2
≈
Rounding wrong, too…
For some reason Pi doesn’t get rounded, it gets cut off
American calendar notation only.
Day month year is about as universally a standard as metric. USA is month day year.
I thought most of the European continent used year, month, day.
Thanks for the knowledge.
Also… how’d it go? I’m guessing you were awake for such a notable event.?
Obviously. Was a great day, 5/7, I recommend.
This is part of the Pi Expanded Universe.
The date is backwards. 2026-09-15
Not on Germany.
It’s backwards everywhere
Backwards as in yyyy-mm-dd?
Yeah, no.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_date_formats_by_countryIn every left to right language, the largest value numerical digits are on the left, smallest value digits are on the right.
The country doesn’t matter. Years are bigger than months. Months are bigger than days. If your country does anything other than YYYY*MM*DD, they’re doing numbers wrong.
I don’t get the downvotes. Even if no country at all uses it, there is only one correct order of the numbers.
LOL
I’m glad you get to definite wrong for everyone else
Also I got news for you
There are a variety of formats that are thriving and in constant use all over the world that differ from what you consider correct
(I’ve never encountered a date format nazi before, this is first contact for me.)

It’s not the boon it seems to be.

I’m aware. That’s why it’s annoying to be the one who determines what’s wrong, nobody listens.

I guess you haven’t had the pleasure of working with many database administrators then ;)
Human readable: Either ddmmyyyy or yyyymmdd
Computer: yyyymmddhhmmss only.Imo the only wrong thing to do is mmddyyyy
That 's just cursed. Like imperial system.
Well yes, but this will never exist in ISO 8601, sadly. We’ll take what we can get, see you in 3141!
#iso8601ultras!
Happy Pi Day Eve, everyone!!!
03:14 15/09/2026
So broken.
2026-09-15T03:14:00Z
RFC3339 or RFC9557 or bust.
Well, that’s not a circle at all. I’m beginning to think Pi Day is something made up to sell protractors in stores to unknowing kids.
People won’t tell you that this is the real Pi Day.
If I made up a stupid date format like HHHH:YY:M I could make some familiar numbers too.
Whoever came up with this has wayyyyyy too much free time on their hands
