    You know, I thought about it after reading the comments here, and I’ve thought of one possible explanation for MM-DD-YYYY, that being the order you effectively get the useful information from a date.

    Going by DD-MM-YYYY, you read the first part, and that tells you the day in a month, but not which month, just skimming that first section gives you no actually useful information about how near or far it is without reading the second.

    Doing MM-DD-YYYY on the other hand, you first read the month, which immediately tells you what part of a year it is, and if it’s relatively sooner or later, and then reading the second part of the date just gives more precision, rather than the whole useful answer.

    So basically, it makes it easier to skim dates within a year with more useful information listed first, whereas putting the year first would just delay or offset that same skimming method.

    Day first gives a range of error between 0 and roughly 330 days without reading further, whereas Month first gives a range of error of only up to 28 to 30 days depending on the month.

    Rings at a very basic level tend to be moons that could be, or could have been, if they were higher in orbit such that gravity wouldn’t tear the moon apart. They can also be from moons or even planets colliding, the debris in the aftermath forming the rings, which if not too low in orbit, could reform into a moon as well, which seems likely to be how our own moon formed.


  • Yeah, that pretty much sums up how it should be, and it would be great if more people understood that point. That you don’t have to like or enjoy what someone else does, yet you can still have acceptance for them enjoying what safely makes them happier, rather than rejecting things for being different than what’s perceived as “normal”.

    To my knowledge, that is actually a thing. People with Autism, as well as people with ADHD, tend to be a bit better at some things that people without usually struggle with for one reason or another. Basically just down to differences of how their brain works with vs without Autism/ADHD. And due to those differences being all you’ve ever known in your experience, it’s hard to know what might make something easier for you, as it just comes naturally, while other things might be completely unnatural to you compared to someone without. I can’t exactly recall anything specific without doing some searching, but doing so would probably give some answers.

    Also, side point but I only thought about it a bit later despite it being your first sentence. Something also common with Autism is that it’s significantly easier to tell when someone else has it when you do as well, and vice versa, where people without Autism might not ever even tell unless they’re maybe more familiar with it.
