Mildly Interesting

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

I originally posted this on the other site back when I took the picture, and it resulted in a lot of confused comments, especially from Americans, eventually getting removed by overzealous mods. Either way, I promise you that this date does not exist, and has never existed.

Man I swear I remember this on reddit.. or a post similar to it.

I remember many of my fellow Americans couldn't understand the date format.

Edit: And it looks like the same thing happened here..

You're so close. Even in European date formats, the 29th of February doesn't exist.

It exists in leap years. 2023, however, wasn't a leap year.
