🦋 Strftime Patterns

now for the strftime-style patterns! these are the classic ones, each with its expansion spelled out in parentheses 🎀

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

the big one — abbreviated weekday, abbreviated month, space-padded day (that's %e), then HH:MM:SS and the year. note the double space in Feb 5? that's %e doing its thing, don't touch it 😌

2008-02-05T18:30:30 = Tue Feb  5 18:30:30 2008

-0010-09-15T04:44:23 = Sat Sept 15 04:44:23 -10

🔥 %x (%m/%d/%y) - date format

the date-only pattern: month/day/two-digit-year, slashes, zero-padded. and yes, the negative year renders as 09/15/10 — look at it, look at the year going all lowercase-y 🙈

2008-02-05T18:30:30 = 02/05/08
1995-12-22T09:05:02 = 12/22/95
