now that the shitty joke has been replicated, but this time without a smelly computer involved, it has so much soul!

good job taking the idea the guy that fed his idea into the computer , and then making it again, but looking worse.

You truely are the John Henry of our time.

Sure, there are no arms fused with tables, giant talking glasses of water representing the optimists, or inexpressive faces in a generic artstyle, but... wait, these are upsides.

Can someone explain this meme? What's going on with excel?

Half full/half empty = half = 1/2, which can be read as one half, or as 1st of February (in dd/mm format)

Omg I just now understood this meme, thank you so much! :p

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 days ago

I was about to doodle something like this, but looks like folks are beating me to it. Great that debates sometimes lead to results.

I feel like a celebrity now 🤩

Sign my boobs!

[–] [email protected] 25 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

You are a celebrity!

You're the one who absolutely destroyed AI by making something that had more soul than AI slop, using just ms-paint!

Take pride in that, buddy :)

Whoever created YAML apparently thought Excel was a masterpiece of software design.

This is much better!

We're just posting different versions of this to the ~~sub~~ community / magazine now?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

You are only a few steps away from understanding the concept of memes

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I get memes. I just avoid the communities dedicated to them.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 days ago

And this one doesn't belong to them?

[–] [email protected] 27 points 3 days ago

Everyone complained about the nonsensical AI version, so now we have a sane version to share. This is a good thing.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 3 days ago (3 children)

Wouldn't it be January 2nd? 1/2

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 days ago

REEEE MM/DD/YYYY Burn it with fire

[–] [email protected] 17 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Depends on if you are yyyy/mm/dd or yyyy/dd/mm

[–] [email protected] 31 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (4 children)

What heathen uses yyyy/dd/mm??? As far as I know, americans use mm/dd/yyyy (which is just another unhinged date format, but not as much as yyyy/dd/mm)

In this house we either use yyyy/mm/dd or dd/mm/yyyy.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I use yyyy-mm-dd as it allows me to alphabetically sort it and still get it in proper order

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Exactly! I'm European so I'm kinda stuck with dd/mm/yyyy already, but even then it's better than mm/dd/yyyy because it still has an order, even if inverse

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I would use it more often if it was the standard, but unfortjnately I'm stuck with dd/mm/yyyy... for now

[–] [email protected] 11 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I'm not stuck with anything anymore since I just got fired during a fucking work trip. They made me buy my flight home, and book a 300 km Uber trip.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 3 days ago (1 children)

That sounds illegal. If you're in the US look into detrimental reliance and promissory estoppel.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 3 days ago

I'll tack those onto the wrongful termination case on which I've got them dead to rights. Promissory estoppel is sadly not a thing in most of the US, though, as far as I'm aware.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 3 days ago

that's yyyy-mm-dd

[–] [email protected] 8 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Idk what month and day system does excel use, lr wether it deñends on the version or location, but at leas for me it does day/month (not like I was the one eho made the meme though)

So, 1/2 would be 1st of february

[–] [email protected] 9 points 3 days ago

It inherits the regional setting from the os.

[–] [email protected] 50 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Thank goodness, the AI comic had the glass of water talking.

[–] [email protected] 27 points 3 days ago

I just assumed it was an issue with Excel to be honest
