- exikyut 7y agoYou know what, this made me realize a hilarious alternate reality/way things could have gone, where nothing got fixed in time, EVERYTHING printed dates like that, and after 2000 years we changed the dates again, with different aesthetic factions around whether to represent the date as "100" or "19100". (I would personally have been all over 5-digit years myself.) Hmmmm. After thinking about that for a minute I realize that math and aesthetics do not mix and that one single format for years makes a lot of computers not get confused. I rest my case. :(
