🦋 Miscellaneous 🦋

Prefers 24 hour time? — Yes. clock supremacy, no AM/PM nonsense here ⏰
Local first day of the week — 7 (Tshipi) 🌸

💜 Strftime Patterns 💜

the classic strftime-style escapes but make it Tswana, iykyk 🌈

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

the whole moment in one go, date and time, main character energy 👑

2008-02-05T18:30:30 = Labb Tlh  5 18:30:30 2008

-0010-09-15T04:44:23 = Mat Lwe 15 04:44:23 -10

notice that double space in Labb Tlh 5? that's %e doing its space-padded thing, it's giving intentional, don't touch it 🙈

`%x` (`%m/%d/%y`) — date format

just the date, month first, slashes in between 🍓

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

clock o'clock, 24-hour, clean clean 🧚
