I originally posted this on the other site back when I took the picture, and it resulted in a lot of confused comments, especially from Americans, eventually getting removed by overzealous mods. Either way, I promise you that this date does not exist, and has never existed.

    Man I swear I remember this on reddit… or a post similar to it.

    I remember many of my fellow Americans couldn’t understand the date format.

    Edit: And it looks like the same thing happened here…

      You’re so close. Even in European date formats, the 29th of February doesn’t exist.

        It exists in leap years. 2023, however, wasn’t a leap year.

        I understand that… I’m just talking about the users fixating on the date format. Look at all the examples in the comments.

      Yeah that’s where I originally posted it. I just remembered it when I first discovered this community on Lemmy and thought I’d share it here as well. I agree with you completely it’s crazy how it just inspires so much random discussion on date formats when it’s just supposed to be a funny quirk about how the 29th exists in all months except one, except for the years it exists there as well.
