To the commenters justifying the written form MM-DD-YYYY on the basis of preferring to say the name of the month followed by the day (which the written numerical sequence does not preclude you from doing). If someone were to say something like “the time is a quarter to eleven” do you think they would have a case for writing it 45:10? And if so, how would you deal with the ambiguity of “ten past ten” if they wrote it 10:10 instead of 10:10?
Sounds about right. I reposted an old meme about a KFC family bucket and ended up with an inbox full of screeees about animal abuse.
At the same time, it’s a joke you posted and a bunch of people got butthurt about it. They’re within their own rights to express themselves about something they don’t agree with, but you are also within your own right to post what you want, within reason (I believe hate speech is out of bounds on Lemmy, but I’m not sure what else is).
If the timing didn’t work out, don’t regret it. Adapt. Post when hopefully the same people that you jive with will get the joke. Then it might blow over later. If you post it in the memes community, it shouldn’t turn into a big deal. We do this for laughs and for fun.
