NudeRaider shouted: is epic date the day where the date variable is 0?
oh wow I just realized the typo here. Meant epoch date, ofc. Maybe epic as well, who knows.

Vrael -- sure you can do days since epoch or microseconds since epoch or w/e
[05:16 pm]
Vrael -- so yeah January 1st 1970 at 00:00:00 is 0 in Seconds Since Epoch

NudeRaider -- LibreOffice measures it in days, rather than seconds
[05:15 pm]
Vrael -- so yeah you basically need to choose an epoch date, aka 0, and then you can measure time in like Seconds Since Epoch

Vrael -- a lot of time-based math revolves around like adding or subtracting dates right, so you need a format which you can represent as a number instead of a sequence like year-month-day

dumbducky -- "Most versions of Unix, for example, use January 1, 1970 as the epoch date; Windows uses January 1, 1601; Macintosh systems use January 1, 1904; and Digital Equipment Corporation's Virtual Memory System uses November 17, 1858." lmao I love this
