That’s 03:14 if it’s HH/MM, you absolute heathen.
03.1415926
man printf
Yeah, and π is 3.141592654…, so if you round up to the nearest ten millionth it’s actually 3.1415927
Sorry OP, gotta wait till next year…
Still works as there’re plenty of mathematicians that would love for people to acknowledge the infinite zeros preceding each number.
The real problem in this case is if you write september as 09.
People complaining about the time and date format, and not the equal sign for an approximation…
I refuse to accept date/time formats that don’t sort automatically. yyyy-MM-dd or bust
See you in 89 years
Nah, we’ve got this coming up in 5
31-4-15 9:26am
Do you use dates only in computer’s files?
Gonna get up at 3:14 and eat a whole pie then go back to sleep
Just like every day
Any intelligent person uses MM:HH 😤
Well, you can celebrate it with us inbreeds then.
Then you can celebrate at 2:03PM…
Whoever came up with this has wayyyyyy too much free time on their hands
Sorry, next year…next digit is 5 so need to round up.
≈
Rounding wrong, too…
For some reason Pi doesn’t get rounded, it gets cut off
FUUUUUCK IT WAS SEVEN MINUTES AGO I CAN’T BELIEVE I’M ACTUALLY USUALLY AWAKE AT THIS TIME AND STILL MISSED IT GODDAMMIT
It will hit my time zone in 5 hours. Wanna come over & get another chance to experience it here?
I’ll bring snacks!
Oops I forgot about it & fell asleep. 3am is not a normal hour to be awake. More snacks for you! 🥨
I was standing in the - potentially very locally constrained - pouring rain by your window for HOURS with a snack bowl over my head, screaming your name! Assuming your name is Stella.
Yes my name is Stella. I guess I couldn’t hear you over the pouring rain. I hope your bowl of snacks was waterproof. And hope you didn’t miss the plot & were able to bask in the moment of GMT-7 3:14am 15th day of the 9th month of the 26th year of the century 🙏🏼.
Quick new time zone
You can still catch it at 3PM
If I made up a stupid date format like HHHH:YY:M I could make some familiar numbers too.
Fuck it, let’s do MM:HH next.
hh:mm dd.MM.yyyy
This is under no circumstance okay.
In 5 years it’ll be 31/4/15 9:26:53 for you, but that requires getting rid of 0 padding april which i don’t like.
Happy Pi Day Eve, everyone!!!
03:14 15/09/2026
So broken.
2026-09-15T03:14:00Z
RFC3339 or RFC9557 or bust.
Well, that’s not a circle at all. I’m beginning to think Pi Day is something made up to sell protractors in stores to unknowing kids.
The date is backwards. 2026-09-15
Not on Germany.
It’s backwards everywhere
Backwards as in yyyy-mm-dd?
Yeah, no.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_date_formats_by_countryIn every left to right language, the largest value numerical digits are on the left, smallest value digits are on the right.
The country doesn’t matter. Years are bigger than months. Months are bigger than days. If your country does anything other than YYYY*MM*DD, they’re doing numbers wrong.
I’m glad you get to definite wrong for everyone else
Also I got news for you
There are a variety of formats that are thriving and in constant use all over the world that differ from what you consider correct
(I’ve never encountered a date format nazi before, this is first contact for me.)

I guess you haven’t had the pleasure of working with many database administrators then ;)
Human readable: Either ddmmyyyy or yyyymmdd
Computer: yyyymmddhhmmss only.Imo the only wrong thing to do is mmddyyyy
That 's just cursed. Like imperial system.
I’m glad you get to definite wrong for everyone else
It’s not the boon it seems to be.

I’m aware. That’s why it’s annoying to be the one who determines right and wrong, nobody listens.
LOL
I don’t get the downvotes. Even if no country at all uses it, there is only one correct order of the numbers.
Well yes, but this will never exist in ISO 8601, sadly. We’ll take what we can get, see you in 3141!
#iso8601ultras!
