Until its not

Be mindful of perishables left out of the fridge for a long time. Most of the time it is fine but in some cases it can cause illness.

That is only what the Canadians release to the outside world. They have a strategic maple syrup reserve.

Goddamned Canadian maple syrup cartel.

Actually, I think they identify more as a Maple Mafia..

Big Maple!

TBF tho it doesn’t really matter because either way it won’t go out of date in 14000 years

It's February 15th, 2010 at 14:41.

I wrote a program to figure out what day of the week this landed on (assuming it is in fact October 2nd, 151441).

It's a Saturday.

Real downer on the start of the weekend.

Yep, my immediate thought was, how the hell would you know it works?

odium@programming.dev · 3 pts · 2y (2 replies)

That program better be using an existing date library, because otherwise it's most definitely wrong.

public string GetDayOfWeek(DateTime date) => "saturday";

I also calculated it, his result checks out.

al4s@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 2y

Don't be ridiculous, that would never pass QA.

But this one will. Joy for years to come:

public string GetDayOfWeek(DateTime date) {
    return ((date - new DateTime(1970, 1, 1)).Milliseconds / 86400000) % 7 switch {
        0 => "Thursday",
        1 => "Friday",
        2 => "Saturday",
        3 => "Sunday",
        4 => "Monday"
    };
}

Bro probably to account for leap Thursday's. We have one every ~28k years to keep in alignment with the true solar week.

Took me longer than it should have to realise this was a joke.

Best by ≠ Expiration date

It's the truth, and I'm tired pretending it's not.

ulterno@lemmy.kde.social · 5 pts · 2y

It's just not in its best condition.
Another 720000 years before expiry.

what an optimistic date for our demise.
