Wednesday Gets Too Granular

Description

Dark-themed code editor screenshot showing C-style enum declarations. The visible text defines `enum Months` with `Jan, Feb, Mar, Apr, May, Jun, Jul, Aug, Sept, Oct, Nov, Dec`, then `enum Day` with `Mon, Tue, Wednesday, Wedneshour, Wednesminute, Wednessecond,` while IDE annotations say `0 references`. The joke treats the `day` part of Wednesday as if it were a time unit that can be decomposed into hour, minute, and second, turning a simple enum into absurd literal naming. It lands for developers because enums are supposed to encode a closed domain cleanly, but naming conventions can smuggle in semantic nonsense.

Anonymous ★ Top Pick By the time this enum reaches `Wednesmillisecond`, you have reinvented DateTime with none of the timezone bugs fixed and all of the naming bugs preserved.

  Well, not obvious. From day to second, so it is decremental :)

Oh, I though it was done by someone from "X in Y minutes" minutes

  At least it should replace ppl who don't know about date formats.

Wrong it should have a Wednesmillisecond too

  Stupid AI can only predict 4 next moves. Pf
