@lopsigon @Fidgetcetera Or, at least, Midnight, January 1, 1969. ;)

@vertigo @lopsigon @Fidgetcetera umm... it was 1970....

@Wolf480pl @vertigo @lopsigon does it really matter
you got the joke either way

@Fidgetcetera @vertigo @lopsigon
it doesn't it's just...
People are wrong on the Internet.
About the holy date when Unix was born.
If I go to sleep, they'll keep being wrong.

@Wolf480pl @vertigo @lopsigon people will always be wrong on the internet
it's also pretty wrong to be a pedantic asshole to people for their inability to remember a date correctly though

@Fidgetcetera @vertigo @lopsigon
I was trying to be polite about it...

Also, people could look things up if they aren't sure. Not saying they should always do it, but they could do it a bit more often.

@Wolf480pl @vertigo @lopsigon this isn't a classroom for learning about computers where a professor messed up, it's a fucking social media site where someone made a joke reference to the Unix epoch, you're not polite for jumping in and giving a "well, actually" equivalent

not every joke needs to be googled to make sure the facts are right it's a fucking random date oh my hell

@Fidgetcetera @vertigo @lopsigon
Sorry.

@vertigo @lopsigon @Fidgetcetera @Wolf480pl

Hunh. I didn't realize it was that young. Thanks for the info.

@starling it's not my fault it's hard to use uwu
