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.
This comment section turned out almost as chaotic and confused as the old one, it’s actually quite impressive.
To be fair, you are posting it at an odd end of the year on a worldwide forum with a lot of yanks in it. Unless bagels take more months to expire than I expected, I guess.
Plus, people like to play, and content to play with is pretty scant on lemmy.
Damn the date - I want to know how you can buy invisible bagels?
You see, it’s “naturel”, so this is just regular bagels with all artificial ingredients removed
I think you’ll find the 23rd of February exists. Fuck knows what preservatives are in those things to last a bit over 5 years.
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…
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.
The person marking them doesn’t get paid enough to care.
my sister got married on feb 29th. their ‘second’ anniversary is next year.
I once bought pants that were produced on 31st of June, not even leap year could’ve explained that 😂
?
23rd of February 2029?
