I'd love to share a fifth with May!

Just don't invite Clarkson.

[–] negativenull@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

May and Hammond maybe, but not Clarkson

I would definitely have fun spending an evening with him, in the same way it'd be fun watching a giant dumpster fire or some kind of natural disaster.

DD Mon YYYY for human readability, YYYY-MM-DD for computer readability.

DD-MM-YYYY itches me wrong the same way as when people tell me their phone number with seven digits AND THEN give me the area code as if I still ONLY have a landline that I ONLY use to place local calls e_e

It’s the forth tho. What am I supposed to do with the extra 5% of May?

Alright, I'll admit. Who is May?

Sir Brian Harold May CBE (born 19 July 1947) is an English musician, songwriter, record producer, animal rights activist and astrophysicist. He achieved worldwide fame as the lead guitarist and backing vocalist of the rock band Queen, which he co-founded with singer Freddie Mercury and drummer Roger Taylor. -Wikipedia
