Modern approach to displaying dates is shit

I want to see a face of a fucker who decided that "5 YEARS AGO" has more meaning than exact date "15 Sep 2019". All apps that use that fucking retarded date representation are useless shit, worst UX ever.

It’s not modern. It just makes sense for cases where the exact date is not relevant. A relative timespan ist easier to process than an absolute point in time. It really depends on the context.

Tomorrow this comment was made 1d ago

+ it screws any screenshots

Good point, I'm gonna improve those places where I have such dates to display also the original full date and time.

"A relative timespan is easier to process" - for whom does the fuck it is easier? For 20iq monkeys maybe, and even with that I am not sure.

@Argos when you read "5 minutes ago" you instantly know that it was well… 5 minutes ago.
When you read a whole time stamp with date and time, you first need to know what date it is right now, what time it is right now and then compare where the difference is. After you checked that it doesn‘t differ by year, month, day and hour, you need to make a subtraction with the minues to know that it was 5 minutes ago and not 5 months ago.

If it was indeed 5 months ago, the details about which hour and minutes it was are irrelevant for you, all you care about is how many months. So it‘s also easier to get the info that you need from a relative statement like "5 months ago" vs. a time stamp.

It has nothing to do with IQ, so shove your insults into your butt please.

I see that you are a 20iq dumbass, that can not calculate time from timestamp to current date (and probably even don't know what current date is) but lucky not all people are like you
