I once called Nintendo as a kid when my DS hinge broke for no reason. I had it for under a year and there was info about a warranty. They told me that they had already fixed that defect and they would not cover it.

Who remembers where they bought their game consoles? Did he give the address of a Best Buy off the top of his head?
To this day i know exactly where my first Gameboy color was bought. I even know the street name off the cuff, not the number tho.
Not as unlikely as you think i would say
How did a 12 to know ? How did the shopowners know that he wasn’t lying?
How the fuck did anon post from the future though?
Just America's stupid date format.
mm/dd/yy is a crime akin to min:sec:hour
There is min:sec:hour? I feel incredibly fortunate to have never interacted with it.
It makes sense with spoken English. You say March 3rd not 3rd March. You could say 3rd of March, but it's a bit uncommon
I get the increased efficiency of ddmmyy in a number based format, but it's not hard to see how it evolved the other way from the language
I've been using yyyymmdd and was appalled when I found out the ones appaled by the American method uses ddmmyyyy. It doesn't even sort chronologicaly in alpha numeric ordering. Just why???
Edit: I just realized that ddmmyyyy looks like dummy and that's how I'm going to refer to it from now on.
Oh boy, never look up big / little endian in computers
It's worse, the American standard is mm/dd/yyyy.
thats nice dear
