I was looking for a way to celebrate, so I opened by Bible and counted how many books had 22nd chapters... and there were 22! I geeked out a bit.<p>So this morning at 2:22:22am I did a tweet thread where I posted the 22nd verse of each chapter 22 and added a sentence or two of commentary.<p>Edit: Some of those chapters didn't have 22 verses, in which cases I used the 2nd verse.<p>Here it is, if you're into that sort of thing: <a href="https://twitter.com/PatrickDobson/status/1496022538580897793" rel="nofollow">https://twitter.com/PatrickDobson/status/1496022538580897793</a>
The key moment today is clearly this, a proper palindrome:<p>22:02:20 22/02/2022<p>For most sensible countries... the US doesn't get celebrate it due the silly date format.<p>Edit:<p>Actually there is this one in ISO 8601 which is the one and true date time format:<p>2022-02-22T20:22:02

Hm. We had one 2-digit date earlier this month, previous ones in 2020, 2002 and 2000, and before that... 1999, 1919, 1911, 1888, 1818, 1811, etc.<p>1-digit ones way back on 1111/11/11, 1111/1/1, 999/9/9, etc. Future ones in 2222, 3333, etc., and then a 11,111 year gap from 11111 to 22222.<p>Did I miss any? I’m going back to sleep now.
"Today is the last date with only two digits until 2111/1/1."<p>"Today is 2022/02/22"<p>If you're using the same format as in the title, then that's not true due to the preceeding zeros.
