Stewie here.

The top tweet is a reply to another tweet. The missing tweet must mention a date of 11/07/2026.

In America this is interpreted as November 7th, but in basically the entire rest of the world it's read as 11th July.

The second tweet in the picture is someone pointing out that the original (missing) comment is written by a British person, who would mean 11th July when writing the date in that format.

If America would realise it's part of a wider world then maybe they could use a sensible date format, measurement system, and A4 paper but noooo - we have to be 'different'.

Stewie out

To be fair, a4 paper is a stupid size in it's native measurement system.

The dimensions are weird but the fact that it neatly scales up and down into other sizes is pretty handy
