There is a typo in the title of this topic.
Where it says "eventual" you should read "uncertain".

This is clearly an excerpt from the troll toilet register for this forum.

Ok, thanks lanun, I was just curious because I read my name

In truth, this thread should not exist. Bubo is not usually known for posting random content, so we might have some explanation some day.

For now we can only try to guess what the suggested "features of this forum" might have been.

Maybe it is just a selection of Bubo's favorite posts for a given workweek.

I tried to track down some of my posts in that list and couldn't find anything in my name with those timestamps. Maybe it's a collection of deleted posts? I'll have to check - could they be from the infamous "vaccine - Bill Gates - number of the beast" thread?

Timestamps are the mischief. And will continue to be so at least until time zones are abolished. Since Africa is the cradle of humankind, I recommend universal time be based on Douala local time.

Don't forget timezone adjustments! For example,

#5 (kusarigama) seems to be in reference to https://trisquel.info/en/forum/forward-triskel-100-beta-capable-install-and-boot#comment-161064 .

#23 (Gnu-Bro) seems to be in reference to https://trisquel.info/en/forum/forward-triskel-100-beta-capable-install-and-boot#comment-161119 .

Ohhhh!!! The month is the second number in that list - these are all from a few days in early October. I was looking at the wrong dates when I looked for mine, I thought they were on April 10th, and then May 10th, and then June 10th... I was thinking that @bubo seemed a little obsessed with the 10th of each month.

Of course- I forgot Americans write dates incorrectly :)!

It appears they go in thread order too; the first block (up to #23 by Gnu-Bro) all come from the same thread.

I am not familiar with how dates are written in every country but I find the current format rather confusing:
- the "/" is used as separator in my country for the dd/mm/yyyy format
- the name of the day is put first

When I want to create file names for which alphabetical sorting will also be in chronological order, I use yyyy-mm-dd-hhmm-UTC (timezone only if useful).

Starting with the year, I expect everyone to think that the next number is the month and not the day so I'd suggest using such kind of ordering for dates on this forum, if easily feasible. Showing the timezone is not essential, as long this is consistent.

I completely agree- it's an ISO standard too if I remember correctly, which is an extra bonus.

That said, it would be useful to have a set of conventions for shortening. If there's no time and the year is reduced to two digits or dropped entirely, ambiguity can creep back in.

> on April 10th, and then May 10th, and then June 10th...

It seems that Bubo was suspecting our monthly cult gathering to happen on the 10th.

That was a wrong guess of course, but we will need to be more careful now.

We may have to be more careful about whom we obtain the polar bear nipple pics from in the future. Loose lips sink ships...

Edit: This is so good, I had to say it at least twice. I may need to say it a couple more times. I'm like the ancient Hebrews - in their language to emphasize something you said it twice. You did not say "Goliath was bigger than the rest of his soldiers", instead you said "Goliath was big big", or "Goliath was big big big".

Speaking of anti-vaccine rhetoric, I know I am extremely late, massively so,

But how dare Fauci get in the way of me and my veterinarian!

#Iamgettinghorse

I mean what's the next thing after people using horse dewormer meant for a horse to cure or prevent covid-19?

I can just see it now:

"Did you know drinking mobile one motor oil can prevent or cure covid-19?"

:P

Don't drink motor oil for those thinking I am serious...

Sorry, couldn't resist, its just so hysterical that people are doing all sorts of stupid to cure covid-19 to avoid getting the vaccine.

It is also sad and dangerous, but there is a part of me, that just is tickled by this foolishness.

I mean where do we go from here?

First it was some unproven drug hydroxiclorican then bleach, then horse dewormer, where does it stop?

It is just so weird...

-_-

Responding to comment #7 in case you wondered who I was speaking to.

I know you weren't being anti vaccine, but you bringing up a conspiracy that some weirdo came up with, it made me want to bring this up... :P
