What makes me GRRRRR is the way Americans write dates, specially because I work with spreadsheets.

month / day / year - SERIOUSLY?!

Smallest to largest the best! 1-12, 1-31, beginning of time til the end.

Much better than medium - small - large.
As I said, I work with spreadsheets, and the program we use sometimes change 01/03/2017 to 03/01/2017. It's infuriating because it's hard to notice, and I pray to God that the dates are right but I can't and never will be sure. u_u

Sometimes I think about how weird is the US. I mean, It's the world's most powerful country, the most influential, their culture is everywhere (music, TV shows, movies, books...) we hear more of what happens in the US than from anywhere else in the world (sometimes even more than about our own countries), your language is everyone's second language. Yet, you guys love weird sports and seem to enjoy messing with standardized stuff like unities and dates just to mess with us. Hell, even football has a different name, for Christ's sake... u_u


Is that Neil Stephenson? Sounds like him.
I have no idea. Just found this pic on the web. :P

YYYY-MM-DD forever. It has the following advantages:
  1. It works with sorting data, even if not specifically defined as a date
  2. Americans should like it, because it has their precious "March 25th" stuff
  3. The rest of the world should like it, because it doesn't totally make Americans happy
  4. It's the one format that works in any country when seen out of context - 2018-03-02 should be obvious to people in every country
  5. It's adheres to ISO 8601 as the international standard for date representation


I watched a pigeon get run over and 20 seconds later the other pigeons were eating the contents of its ruptured stomach; this cartoon doesn't ring true to me at all. Also, pigeons are renowned for their sense of direction, so why would one stop to ask directions from some rando?

Your pics aren't showing here, Bulma.

Anyone with the same problem or is it just me? (my connection is a bit crappy today) :(

I remember when someone called a pic or gif that I posted was not funny, I got sad then I did remember the threads name Pics that make you laugh, not Pics that make other people laugh, and since that day from now I just don't care if someone doesn't like a pic/gif/tweet I posted.



I shouldn't be laughing but I'm
