There is still hope, it’s Best by, not Use by
So many people interpret “best before” as “poisonous as hell after”. Look at it, smell it, taste (a little bit of) it. If it passes all three, still perfect to eat.
I wrote a program to figure out what day of the week this landed on (assuming it is in fact October 2nd, 151441).
It’s a Saturday.
Real downer on the start of the weekend.
Yep, my immediate thought was, how the hell would you know it works?
That program better be using an existing date library, because otherwise it’s most definitely wrong.
public string GetDayOfWeek(DateTime date) => "saturday";I also calculated it, his result checks out.
Don’t be ridiculous, that would never pass QA.
But this one will. Joy for years to come:
public string GetDayOfWeek(DateTime date) { return ((date - new DateTime(1970, 1, 1)).Milliseconds / 86400000) % 7 switch { 0 => "Thursday", 1 => "Friday", 2 => "Saturday", 3 => "Sunday", 4 => "Monday" }; }
1441 is most likely the time stamp sorry guys…
(Not sure if Canada follows US or internal date format)
Canadian here. We’re not sure either.
Slashes mean whatever american abomination
Best by ≠ Expiration date
It’s the truth, and I’m tired pretending it’s not.
It’s just not in its best condition.
Another 720000 years before expiry.
