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.

    Yeah, especially with something like 03/04/07 12:47 AM

    The likes of this date and time are just evil because not only you may mistake day for month or even year, but also 12 AM in some places precedes 1 AM while in other places it precedes 1 PM.

    I’m almost convinced that an additional info with a UNIX timestamp must be always shown to be used as a ground truth wherever a date is presented

      I agree it can be confusing if presented without context or explanation, but in most cases one can easily determine order (e.g., OP’s post)
