The petrosexual male, who can only get sexual aroused by loud rumbling engines and black sooty exhaust. It’s a well known fact they have lost the ability to get it up for a woman a long time ago. Be very careful when entering they’re garage as you can find many fluids in the floor, and not all are from the vehicle.
“You want me to wear a flashlight to bed? Huh, this looks like those lights on your truck. And why is your phone making that engine noise? Is that SOOT in the humidifier?!”
Lot of talk of numerics only. The problem there is knowing what format the information is in since clearly there are 3 possibilities. Without context and during certain parts of the month you’re hosed. Best to remove ambiguity and go with the alpha numeric format.
Any date format can be unambiguous as long as it’s the one that everyone agrees on, and all date formats will be ambiguous as long as we have several in use.
I kinda gave up, nowadays when i write a date to someone i specify the date format. Like i will send “01/05/2024 (DD/MM/YYYY)” because it’s the only way to be sure
As monstrous as it is yyyy-mm-dd could also be misconstrued by said unfortunate Americans as yyyy-dd-mm because…well…yeah. As noted elsewhere this dd mmm yyyy format also works nicely in written and verbal communication as 12th of august where no one ever is going to write or speak to each other twenty twenty three august twelfth. So again, more universal and less ambiguous.
The second reason why yyyy-MM-dd is the correct way to write days (beside being sortable by default) is because even Americans doesn't have any similar format that it can be confused with.
I learned this in my first half year as a programmer I think, somewhere well over a decade back and so far it seems that guy was right.

Problem is that languages get in the way. Some are pretty similar like 15 ago (Spanish) being 15 Aug (English), but 1 ene (Spanish) aren’t that similar to 1 Jan (English).
And for the usual “But English is used everwhere! I live in X!” crowd: NO, it isn’t. Not everything you see as an “expat” is the same as the actual locals with their own language.
Tbh I don’t like a lot of Lemmy’s comment section. It gives me “hive mind” vibes, everyone believes the same thing, the same politics, the same everything.
I like it when there’s disagreements, that’s how you can prevent the formation of echo chambers
I’m really glad I live in a place where this driver would get a big fine the first time they’re stopped, and most likely get their vehicle impounded if they were seen more than a few days later with the lights still attached.
(EDIT: Anyone complaining that they need this many are lying or they have very low intelligence. If you need this llevel of light, you have a generator and actual lights in the back of the truck. If you need one or two of the huge ones for actual work, you’d have covers for them, which makes it legal again(since you’d have to stop the car and get out to turn them on, and can’t just flick them on while driving since that is a deadly hazard to others))
