[–] Kaibeezy 4y ago ↗ Hm. We had one 2-digit date earlier this month, previous ones in 2020, 2002 and 2000, and before that... 1999, 1919, 1911, 1888, 1818, 1811, etc.1-digit ones way back on 1111/11/11, 1111/1/1, 999/9/9, etc. Future ones in 2222, 3333, etc., and then a 11,111 year gap from 11111 to 22222.Did I miss any? I’m going back to sleep now.
[–] padobson 4y ago ↗ I was looking for a way to celebrate, so I opened by Bible and counted how many books had 22nd chapters... and there were 22! I geeked out a bit.So this morning at 2:22:22am I did a tweet thread where I posted the 22nd verse of each chapter 22 and added a sentence or two of commentary.Edit: Some of those chapters didn't have 22 verses, in which cases I used the 2nd verse.Here it is, if you're into that sort of thing: https://twitter.com/PatrickDobson/status/1496022538580897793

[–] samwillis 4y ago ↗ The key moment today is clearly this, a proper palindrome:22:02:20 22/02/2022For most sensible countries... the US doesn't get celebrate it due the silly date format.Edit:Actually there is this one in ISO 8601 which is the one and true date time format:2022-02-22T20:22:02

[–] giantg2 4y ago ↗ "Today is the last date with only two digits until 2111/1/1.""Today is 2022/02/22"If you're using the same format as in the title, then that's not true due to the preceeding zeros.

1-digit ones way back on 1111/11/11, 1111/1/1, 999/9/9, etc. Future ones in 2222, 3333, etc., and then a 11,111 year gap from 11111 to 22222.

For most sensible countries... the US doesn't get celebrate it due the silly date format.
Edit:
Actually there is this one in ISO 8601 which is the one and true date time format:
2022-02-22T20:22:02
"Today is 2022/02/22"
If you're using the same format as in the title, then that's not true due to the preceeding zeros.
