general

I expect iso8601

it's in the rules somewhere

"Our accepted standard unit of distance is hella-meters, volume is hella-litres, time is hella-seconds, weight is hella-grams, and temperature is Rankine"

hell yeah Conour

Rule 4 disappoints me

well it's only if you aren't American, European, or preferring a different format

you have to look at the footnotes too Mint

Of course

Those are always essential

i use d/m/y

sorry to disappoint

i'm not budging

I use second - hour - minute: Day - year- month

I use y/y/y

but in a different format each time

Sounds about right

yes, its 2020/ 2773/ 1942

'2/02/2002

mines funnier because why would you guess gregorian/julian/hindu

for calendar format

I like that Pika, lol

i got it pika

i knew what you were going for

too big brained for me

be proud of me :)

I assumed that is what spooky meant

lol

Fire smrt

same

just use only seconds

Pika, if we make every date a math equation using d/m/y

how many days do we lose in all of human history?

what is today in seconds, starting from the big bang

I don't understand what you mean

Yes

I assume if you represent dates as a math equation

many dates would be the same

so we'd reduce the total number of unique dates

you could represent all dates as t0 + t

Holocene calendar is also nice

not as nice as the hololive calendar

so today is 05/11/2020

12020/11/5

plug it into a calculator you get 0.000225022502

oh you mean

how many days would we lose, doing that for all dates

use / as divide

lmao

yeah

isn't that a math expression not equation

or operation

evaluating it is an equation

he is just saying f(a,b,c) = a/b/c where a is day, b is month, c is year

so the question is that if you plug every AD date into that, will it cause any duplicate outputs, and reduce the number of unique dates

it will cause duplicates

^

how many is a harder question

I'm now wondering how many unique numbers we'd even get anymore

I suck at date functions in excel

so are we limiting it from year 0 to current day

jesus christ

yeah sure Pika

someone can just write some code to iterate through every one and count the duplicates

thats the boring solution

but would work

lol

if all months had the same number of days this would be easier to define this function

lol

there's also

leap years

fuck

trust me I am accounting for it

when trying to build this retarded function

we are using

>when you remember leap years were added midway through

LMAO

okay you know what fuck it I am ignoring leap years, pretending the calendar has always worked the way it has since year 0

those fucking roman emperors fucked everything up

Wouldn’t leap years still be accurate due to how time actually works
