Interestingly, Y2K technically had a death toll of 2

You could say I guess, yeah. But those women would've gotten an ill baby anyways. So technically speaking...

@ScriptCoded But people can live with down syndrome...

@PrivateGER I just realized I read this wrong. It clearly says that the Y2K bug caused miscalculations of the mothers age. Sorry about that. To god damn early in the morning.

@ScriptCoded @PrivateGER imagine not being born because some idiot thought "Hmm... What's a good amount of digits for a year.... TWO!"

@AlgoRythm I see people going back at it though, writing '19 and '20 as the year.

All formats with year at the end, either 2 or 4 digits, are retarded. 2020-03-04 (and ISO variants which include time + timezone) are the only correct answer. For machines, unix timestamps are also acceptable.

Otherwise we might as well count time in "elephant-heartbeats since the last lunar eclipse" or something like that.

@bittersweet absolutely. Everything you have said is totally correct.

@AlgoRythm Yay! What do I win?

@bittersweet A c c e p t a n c e.

@bittersweet Do you prefer "cesium atoms' outer electron vibrations since the last Jesus Christ coming"?

@c3r38r170 Nah. You know the time it takes to dissolve a lollipop in your mouth without biting? For a bigger unit, we'll take the average dreadful scrum meeting. Then we can use the designed longevity of a phone, and maybe some other random stuff.

"I'll meet you in two meetings and a lollipop, because I haven't seen you in a smartphone lifespan. Let's grab a bite together, there's a restaurant at a 2 soft-boiled egg distance walk"

@bittersweet Ooh and we use those time measures as distance measures basing them on random speeds, clever.
"My house is 2 top-speed cheetah penguin life left after been spotted by a seal from here."

@c3r38r170 Now you're starting to understand imperial units!
