      REEEEEEEEEEE

      but for real. It’s actually more than just knowing it exists, sometimes it’s forced upon us from software that isn’t localised.

      And my lord, excel when one mother fucker has mm/dd/yyyy set in their system settings means it changes the whole goddamned shared spreadsheet and dates are displayed (and thefore sometimes understood) incorrectly until someone notices.

      Please, git gud at units USA

        I’m sure it can be a pain in the ass. I wasn’t being serious (although a bunch of people apparently took offense).
