side note, bestie: the narrow ones are giving single-letter main character energy, and yes, T shows up twice and S shows up twice — that's not a typo, that's just how narrow forms are 😭

🧚 Miscellaneous 🧚

Prefers 24 hour time?

Yes

Local first day of the week

1 (Mon)

so yes, the week starts on Monday here, and yes, they're a 24-hour-time kinda locale. iconic honestly 🫶

💖 Strftime Patterns 💖

%c (`%a %b %e %H:%M:%S %Y`) - date time format

2008-02-05T18:30:30 = Tue M02  5 18:30:30 2008
1995-12-22T09:05:02 = Fri M12 22 09:05:02 1995
-0010-09-15T04:44:23 = Sat M09 15 04:44:23 -10

heads up, the double space in Tue M02 5 is literally in the output — %e space-pads the day, so it's supposed to look like that. not a typo, she's just like that 💅

…and last but never ever least, the two "locale-flavoured" literals 💅 — these are the ones that give you the formatted date and the formatted time in whatever style the locale feels like serving that day:

%x (%m/%d/%y) — the date format, okay? This is the "just gimme the date" move ✨
%X (%H:%M:%S) — the time format, the "just gimme the clock" move ⏰

Bestie, here's %x in action, no cap:

2008-02-05T18:30:30 = 02/05/08
1995-12-22T09:05:02 = 12/22/95
-0010-09-15T04:44:23 = 09/15/10

And our girl %X doing her thing 🎀:

2008-02-05T18:30:30 = 18:30:30
1995-12-22T09:05:02 = 09:05:02
-0010-09-15T04:44:23 = 04:44:23

🫶 Quick vibe check: notice that -0010-09-15T04:44:23 — yes, a negative year, she's iconic like that — still formats as 09/15/10 and 04:44:23, with no weird sign drama in the output. The examples are the examples, periodt.

💖 SUPPORT 💖

That's literally it, bestie — for the whole support situation you're gonna want See DateTime::Locale. 👑
