I wonder how many people watched The Colbert Report and had no idea it was satire.

Penis inspection day at school used to be so innocent.

Last time we brought up Penis Inspection Day there were a ton of posters being all "No, for real, everyone had a Penis Inspection Day, right? Right!!?!"

The only acceptable place for Penis Inspection Day is in a Space Station.

My gym teacher discovered a melanoma that would otherwise have taken my life at a mere six years old. I’m confounded by the idea that only astronauts should be spared sickness. I owe my health to his daily suppositories.

I get the feeling most people don't even get the reference I was making. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=URJ_qSXruW0&t=12m13s

I’ve never seen this before, it was entertaining. Particularly the part where everyone started hallucinating and then died.

[–] deathmetal27@lemmy.world 2 points 17 hours ago

Hey hey people...

[–] Signtist@bookwyr.me 4 points 1 day ago

True. Think of how many you'd be able to inspect from up there!

For anyone curious it's 25/07/2025 in metric calendars.

[–] reev@sh.itjust.works 27 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Thank you, I thought it was the 7th of Quinquember.

[–] wh0_cares@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 17 hours ago

It would actually be the 7th of Trivigintember, since the month names start counting with March as 1

[–] Tattorack@lemmy.world 2 points 19 hours ago

Don't you hate it when there suddenly are 13 additional months in your year?

[–] AtariDump@lemmy.world 13 points 1 day ago (1 children)

You mean the superior date format; 2025/07/25

[–] rumschlumpel@feddit.org 30 points 1 day ago (2 children)

That's a file path, THIS is a date format: 2025-07-25

[–] moistclump@lemmy.world 5 points 18 hours ago

Finally, some good fucking ISO around here!

[–] Fiery@lemmy.dbzer0.com -1 points 20 hours ago* (last edited 18 hours ago) (1 children)

How about 25-206 or 2025-W30-5.

Edit: the ISO8601 spec includes these

[–] GreyEyedGhost@lemmy.ca 6 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

Julian dates suck, but not as much as the standard date formats.

[–] Fiery@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

Both versions above actually are part of the ISO8601 spec though, as week dates and ordinal dates.

[–] GreyEyedGhost@lemmy.ca 2 points 17 hours ago

One more reason RFC3339 is better than ISO8601?

In all honesty, the big problem with Julian dates are they aren't readable for most people, if they even recognize what they are. In specific industries, it's an acceptable format, with minimal ambiguity. Now, do we talk about how my company puts the year after the date?

[–] victorz@lemmy.world 28 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Right on the freaking nail, this one was. Really good.

[–] sarcasticsunrise@lemmy.world 2 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

For real this one needs to go viral

[–] victorz@lemmy.world 4 points 18 hours ago* (last edited 18 hours ago)

Could also use something about the children of Gaza. Like shooting down the parents of children while they are trying to fetch food for their children.

FOR THE CHILDREN.

(The US isn't doing this per se, but they are supporting the ones who do so.)
