@amiserabilist @wendinoakland @glasspusher @Natasha_Jay @stux fighting over the shape of a mirror vs. metric vs. imperial may be the most internet thing to happen.
Mastodon truly is Internet, but like… the 90s, yo.

@glasspusher Lol! I’m actually in the better, sunnier, hipper part of the SFBA, the East Bay. The San Francisco paintings of Wayne Theibaud (famed mostly for his wonderful depiction of cakes) will give you a sense of just how vertiginous it is over there!

Let’s Buy California from Trump – Denmark’s Next Big Adventure
Have you ever looked at a map and thought, "You know what Denmark needs? More sunshine, palm trees, and roller skates." Well, we have a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to make that dream a reality.
Let’s buy California from Donald Trump!
Yes, you heard that right.
California could be ours, and we need your help to make it happen.

@ArchaeoIain @Natasha_Jay 22/7 is the one true date surely

@vonxylofon but when I wear a watch (which is every day), and my train leaves at 18h, I don’t want to have to do math while looking at my watch to see if I’m going to be on time or not.
@zed I can assure you we all learnt to do that like muscle memory by the time we turned nine.

@NickGates Vallejo is pretty much North Bay. It's across the Napa River from Mare Island, and south of Sonoma & Napa. Actually, Vallej the same latitude as Point Reyes Seashore, just inland a bit. @glasspusher @amiserabilist

@Natasha_Jay if we used date format like jan/19/2026 it wouldn't be an issue

So many new delicious issues though!
I propose we rename the months so that they sort alphabetically in calendar order.
In all languages. @gkrnours @Natasha_Jay

@Natasha_Jay I would wage an actual war on the MM/DD/YY format, but it would be confused about when the war even began.
