I originally posted this on the other site back when I took the picture, and it resulted in a lot of confused comments, especially from Americans, eventually getting removed by overzealous mods. Either way, I promise you that this date does not exist, and has never existed.
American here, that didn’t expire on February 29th, it will expire on the second of Viginti-September. Easy mistake to make.
Viginti-September 2 is my birthday!
Everyone’s getting the dates wrong, it’s clearly the 23rd month of 2902 👍
That can’t be it either since 2902 isn’t a leap year so it only has about a dozen months
Lousy Smarch weather…
Remember, kids, not to ever compute dates yourselves. Use a library for that.
I’ve made that mistake a couple times, sending bills to people for things like April 31st. Have since swapped to letting python make calendars for me.
Memories of the old shitty codebase I inherited that had a bunch of if/else statements to add a day every four years. Which, of course, isn’t even correct.
To be fair, by the time that code will fail, it won’t run anymore for a host of other reasons.
This comment section turned out almost as chaotic and confused as the old one, it’s actually quite impressive.
I mean, I’m sure just like “the other site” there are a bunch of folks just attempting to be funny. Some folks are really serious about date standards though, woof.
Just enjoy your timeless bagels and try not to go full Everything Bagel on us.
To be fair, you are posting it at an odd end of the year on a worldwide forum with a lot of yanks in it. Unless bagels take more months to expire than I expected, I guess.
Plus, people like to play, and content to play with is pretty scant on lemmy.
February 23rd of 2029?
They might be a little stale, but it’s all good
It’s just seconds since unix epoch

Well that’s just February twenty ni- oh. I see.
My guess is they forgot to advance the year on the stamper. 290224 does exist.
February 23, 2029 doesn’t exist?

Zero chance there are bagels with a shelf life of >a year.
Sorry, but are you certain that number is both a date and the day it expires?
It could instead be a cash register code (perhaps a specific combination of ingredients), or the employee number for who made it (because Janet keeps fucking up, and Darma is sick of being blamed.)
Yes I am certain, I know how expiry dates are written on bread in Sweden, I lived there. This was also said on my last post, but I promise you, it’s just an error and should have said March 1st.
Or they got the year wrong unless you bought extremely expired bread or the much less plausible answer, this is an old picture.
Yes, that’s definitely not very plausible, that this is an old picture ;)
Damn the date - I want to know how you can buy invisible bagels?
The person marking them doesn’t get paid enough to care.
my sister got married on feb 29th. their ‘second’ anniversary is next year.
My uncle was born on Feb 29. We both had our 16th birthdays the same year.
That doesn’t mean they never expire! Those bagels are months old even if they do expire on a date that doesn’t exist!
Imagine the mold!
Nah they were eaten long before having a chance to mold, don’t worry.
So it technically didn’t expire?
ICA är galna pojkar
dont eat that
Too late apparently
