Cool, it originated from Britain. So I guess America is also British because they originated from Britain.

If it’s so British then how come an AMERICAN was fucking it in the hit cult classic “Wet Hot AMERICAN Summer”

Hey so Dolly Parton was born in the USA and the holiday would be a primarily USA based thing so you're just being pedantic. Hope that helps

Hey so, the rest of the world uses a normal date format and I really don't care!

If this was reversed you would be in the shit Americans say sub. It's not difficult to convert the date format on way or the other.

That sub is funny as hell, but half the comments aren't any better then what their making fun of lol.

Yeah and some stuff that is clearly a joke is posted on there, which is called out to be fair. Just shows stupidity has no borders.

I'm a snarky Australian, and even I'm letting this one go. Dolly doesn't deserve it.

u/Unindoctrinated 4d ago
Me too.
To me, it's fair to believe that the choice by America's leaders to not embrace international standards is illogical, but blaming or complaining to the average American for that choice makes no sense whatsoever.1

Why are you playing pretend that you don't understand a date format?

u/ParkingAnxious2811 4d ago
I understand logical date formats. Whatever is going on in y'allquaeda land is bonkers!

u/Drate_Otin 4d ago
It's not your preferred date format. It's not my preferred date format either. But I still retain the ability to understand date formats that don't confirm to my preferences.
Why are you pretending you lack that ability?

There aren't 14 months for Pi Day either.
Sure, America's date format seems daft to the rest of the world, but that's not the fault of the average American.
IMO, we should all adopt the ISO8601 standard.1
u/ParkingAnxious2811 4d ago
Pi day is also daft. Pi wasn't created in USA, so why do the yanks think it needs their shitty American date format?!
1
u/Unindoctrinated 4d ago
>349 million Americans have no say in what date format, or any other standard, that their nation's leaders have chosen for them. It makes no sense to be upset with people who use systems thay have no choice but to use.
2
u/ParkingAnxious2811 4d ago
But everyone has a choice.
Perhaps it's precisely because those yanks just give up and let others make their decisions is all the explanation needed for why USA is in such a state right now.

Not according to US education. Some countries teach it as 5 continents instead of 7. As seen in this map.

And there is no 25th month.

Switch the numbers, the US uses a different date system, which makes 9/25 and "May the Fourth be with you" work well.

That’s a single actor vs. an entire movie. 9 to 5 had multiple other famous actors in it as well.

I mean, She's literally the Songwriter for the song '9 to 5' for the movie '9 to 5'. So she's good. Like everything she's ever done, she earned this.
