ok this is where it gets fun — same three timestamps rendered four different ways so you can see exactly how the length setting changes things. the timestamps are 2008-02-05T18:30:30, 1995-12-22T09:05:02, and -0010-09-15T04:44:23 every single time, so you can compare apples to apples. 🍓

and the list keeps going, bestie — there's more where this came from 🫶
okay bestie, we're jumping straight back in mid-flow — the pattern from the top of this bit finishes its little example era like this:
2008-02-05T18:30:30 = 2008-02-05
1995-12-22T09:05:02 = 1995-12-22

yQQQ (QQQ y)— the short-and-snappy quarter look. It doesn't spell out the word "quarter," it just hands you the letterEand the number, and honestly? Iconic minimalism.
2008-02-05T18:30:30 = E1 2008
1995-12-22T09:05:02 = E4 1995
-0010-09-15T04:44:23 = E3 -10
yQQQQ (QQQQ y)— the long-form quarter moment, main character energy. It writes outEroboand then the quarter number, so you get the whole vibe spelled out instead of just a single letter.
2008-02-05T18:30:30 = Erobo 1 2008
1995-12-22T09:05:02 = Erobo 4 1995
-0010-09-15T04:44:23 = Erobo 3 -10
yw-count-other ('week' w 'of' Y)— week-count era. Literally the wordweek, then the week number, then the wordof, then the year. Fr fr, it's that simple.
2008-02-05T18:30:30 = week 6 of 2008
1995-12-22T09:05:02 = week 51 of 1995
-0010-09-15T04:44:23 = week 37 of -10
✨ Miscellaneous ✨
Two lil' settings for this locale, and we're obsessed with how unbothered they are:
- Prefers 24 hour time? — Yes. So it's giving
18:30:30, not6:30:30 PM. No cap. - Local first day of the week —
7(Jumapílí). That's the value and the name it reports, and we're just here to relay the message. 💅
