Enjoy reading today's date from either direction!

Edit: thanks to taneliv for noticing it works both ways! (original post only showed one way)

    Even for people using normal date formats, since 2021-12-02 is, amazingly enough, also today, and is also a palindrome day. Enjoy!

    If you wanted to celebrate, but all the restaurants are booked, tell them you are quite flexible. Tomorrow (12/3/21), or during the weekend is fine too. And all the weekdays next week. Just make sure you get that reservation before next Friday (12/9/21).

    A great day to read upon my old article on building the most complete palindromic sentence: http://www.pinchofintelligence.com/worlds-longest-palindrome...

    But not if you use 02-12-2021

    Random note: Subaru China published their new BRZ today, which is distinguished by its boxer engine, with (somewhat) symmetric pistons.

    It’s also easy to write today’s date as an ambigram! Just gotta symmetrize the 2 a bit. Think 7-segment LCD font.

    wondered just how widespread this would be accepted and got down a rabbit hole of international standards ISO-8601 etc and surprisingly (so often are ppl at odds around the world about this) it's pretty universal this one!
