Penis inspection day at school used to be so innocent.

The only acceptable place for Penis Inspection Day is in a Space Station.

My gym teacher discovered a melanoma that would otherwise have taken my life at a mere six years old. I’m confounded by the idea that only astronauts should be spared sickness. I owe my health to his daily suppositories.

I get the feeling most people don't even get the reference I was making. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=URJ_qSXruW0&t=12m13s

I’ve never seen this before, it was entertaining. Particularly the part where everyone started hallucinating and then died.

True. Think of how many you'd be able to inspect from up there!

[–] deathmetal27@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

Hey hey people...

Last time we brought up Penis Inspection Day there were a ton of posters being all "No, for real, everyone had a Penis Inspection Day, right? Right!!?!"

For anyone curious it's 25/07/2025 in metric calendars.

[–] reev@sh.itjust.works 26 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Thank you, I thought it was the 7th of Quinquember.

[–] wh0_cares@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 1 month ago

It would actually be the 7th of Trivigintember, since the month names start counting with March as 1

[–] Tattorack@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

Don't you hate it when there suddenly are 13 additional months in your year?

[–] AtariDump@lemmy.world 13 points 1 month ago (1 children)

You mean the superior date format; 2025/07/25

[–] rumschlumpel@feddit.org 34 points 1 month ago (4 children)

That's a file path, THIS is a date format: 2025-07-25

[–] moistclump@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago

Finally, some good fucking ISO around here!

[–] AtariDump@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

You’re right; I was so close.

[–] squaresinger@lemmy.world 0 points 4 weeks ago

That's a file name, THIS is a date format: 25.07.2025

[–] Fiery@lemmy.dbzer0.com -1 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

How about 25-206 or 2025-W30-5.

Edit: the ISO8601 spec includes these

[–] GreyEyedGhost@lemmy.ca 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Julian dates suck, but not as much as the standard date formats.

[–] Fiery@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Both versions above actually are part of the ISO8601 spec though, as week dates and ordinal dates.

[–] GreyEyedGhost@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 month ago

One more reason RFC3339 is better than ISO8601?

In all honesty, the big problem with Julian dates are they aren't readable for most people, if they even recognize what they are. In specific industries, it's an acceptable format, with minimal ambiguity. Now, do we talk about how my company puts the year after the date?

[–] victorz@lemmy.world 27 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Right on the freaking nail, this one was. Really good.

[–] sarcasticsunrise@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

For real this one needs to go viral

[–] victorz@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Could also use something about the children of Gaza. Like shooting down the parents of children while they are trying to fetch food for their children.

FOR THE CHILDREN.

(The US isn't doing this per se, but they are supporting the ones who do so.)
