`yw-count-other ('week' w 'of' Y)`

bestie, this is the part 1 cliffhanger — the page stops right here at the yw-count-other ('week' w 'of' Y) heading, with no example lines shown yet. 💀

...and the week numbers just keep coming, bestie 💅 watch:

     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

Year 6, year 51, year 37 — three completely different eras and the week math still eats, no cap 🔥

🎀 Miscellaneous 🎀

Prefers 24 hour time?

Yes ✨ (as she should — 24-hour clock supremacy, we don't do the AM/PM ambiguity here)

Local first day of the week

1 (Mantaha) 🌸

So Monday's on main character duty in this locale — 1 is the index, and Mantaha is the name it goes by, iykyk 🫶

🌈 Strftime Patterns 🌈

Okay this is the section where things get iconic 💖 These are the three big patterns, each with its exact expansion, and yes we're showing all three example timestamps every time because consistency is the whole vibe:

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

The full date-and-time combo platter: 🍓

     2008-02-05T18:30:30 = Bed Kol  5 18:30:30 2008
     1995-12-22T09:05:02 = Hla Tsh 22 09:05:02 1995
    -0010-09-15T04:44:23 = Moq Leo 15 04:44:23 -10

Sidenote bestie: peep that double space before the 5 — that's %e doing its thing, it's space-padded, not zero-padded. Not a typo, don't "fix" it 😭

`%x` (`%m/%d/%y`) — date format

Date only, slashes included: 🦋

     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 yeah — 09/15/10 for year -10. The two-digit year is just out here living its life. Take that up with %y, not with me 🙈

`%X` (`%H:%M:%S`) — time format

Time only, 24-hour, no notes: ⭐

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

Look at 09:05:02 — zero-padded everywhere, she is immaculate 🧚 And -0010-09-15 pulling a 04:44:23, honestly ate 💀🔥

👑 SUPPORT 👑

See DateTime::Locale 🫶 like, that's it, that's the support channel — the whole locale situation lives there and it's lowkey the parent of all this.

Okay that's a wrap, bestie! 💖✨🎀 This page came to you via perl v5.42.0, dated 2024-12-12, and the footer's mood was forever DateTim...ale::st(3) — truncated and mysterious, main character energy honestly 🦋 Go format something iconic 🌸💜
