The missed an opportunity by not going with the 11th October worldwide and the 10th Nov in the USA

Took me a good three seconds before getting this joke, which is the perfect delay. I applaud you, good fellow.

"you asked about the temperature"

"I did not."

Ha! Great.

I’m old enough I shouted ‘one thousand seven hundred and sixty’ at my ipad.

God I love that skit. Absolutely top tier SNL

dermotlynott.bsky.social•143 days ago

I've watched it multiple times in the past week

adw.bsky.social•143 days ago

Ha, good life choice! 😂

I have never seen that, and I love it

hapchem.bsky.social•143 days ago

except in Arizona and Indiana, where it will be celebrated on July 5 and December 30, respectively

I think you'll find it's on 11/14, and they celebrate by building a monument measured in cubits at a temperature of 70 degrees fahrenheit.

Well, they also have a 'world series' with a world champion in a sport that is only played in the US, so...

Oh, c'mon... there's ONE CANADIAN TEAM to represent the not-US part of the world!

neighborgeek.bsky.social•143 days ago

Sure, Nov 14th this year, but it’s actually the 2nd Thursday in November, so the date changes every year.

adw.bsky.social•143 days ago

Yeah it’s pretty funny all the way down 😂

dermotlynott.bsky.social•143 days ago

I know there’s already a strip on standards, but this is really crying out for another @xkcd.com strip

anna66newton.bsky.social•142 days ago

So "World Standards" to a system of standards nowhere else in the world uses.

cdonnellytx.bsky.social•143 days ago

Haha that’s a good joke and… oh goddamnit

World standards? Sounds like globalism. We don't cotton to no standards around here, specially not the global ones.

kamuinu.bsky.social•143 days ago

Welcome to the World of Standardization.
