👑 yMd (dd/MM/y)

…and that's where part 1 runs out of road, bestie — yMd is only just getting started 😭 more in part 2!!

…and the last block in that date-pattern era wraps up like this, all lowercase numbers, no vibes spared:

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

Then we get into quarter energy, which is literally the most main-character part of any date format:

  • yQQQ (QQQ y) — the short quarter flex:
2008-02-05T18:30:30 = T1 2008
1995-12-22T09:05:02 = T4 1995
-0010-09-15T04:44:23 = T3 -10
  • yQQQQ (QQQQ y) — the long-form quarter, fully spelled out and fr fr dramatic:
2008-02-05T18:30:30 = le 1er trimestre 2008
1995-12-22T09:05:02 = le 4ème trimestre 1995
-0010-09-15T04:44:23 = le 3ème trimestre -10
  • yw-count-one ('semaine' w 'de' Y) — week-of-year, the singular version, giving "week number of year":
2008-02-05T18:30:30 = semaine 6 de 2008
1995-12-22T09:05:02 = semaine 51 de 1995
-0010-09-15T04:44:23 = semaine 37 de -10
  • yw-count-other ('semaine' w 'de' Y) — same exact vibe, the plural/other count-one-two situation, and ngl the output is identical:
2008-02-05T18:30:30 = semaine 6 de 2008
1995-12-22T09:05:02 = semaine 51 de 1995
-0010-09-15T04:44:23 = semaine 37 de -10

🎀 Miscellaneous

The lil' grab-bag of locale facts, bestie. Two whole data points, both iconic:

  • Prefers 24 hour time? — Yes 💅 (no AM/PM chaos here, we're clocking 18:30:30 like grown-ups)
  • Local first day of the week — 1 (lundi) 🗓️ (that's Monday to you and me, and it's giving start the week right)

✨ Strftime Patterns

Okay so these are the classic C-library strftime patterns, each with the format recipe in parens so you can see exactly what's getting assembled. Obsessed.

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

The whole date AND time, one string, zero notes:

2008-02-05T18:30:30 = mar. févr.  5 18:30:30 2008
1995-12-22T09:05:02 = ven. déc. 22 09:05:02 1995
-0010-09-15T04:44:23 = sam. sept. 15 04:44:23 -10
👀 and yes, that double space before the 5 is lowkey real — that's %e doing its space-padded thing. Do not "fix" it, it's canon.

%x (%m/%d/%y) — date format

Date only, month first, and it does not care that the rest of this locale is day-first. Keep the pattern exactly as written:

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

%X (%H:%M:%S) — time format
