Mid 40s, and I too feel old now - at first I thought OP was setting us up for a joke. The local phone company still delivered phone books to everyone in my city until a few years ago.

I think it was an old legal requirement for any phone company providing landline services to also provide phonebooks. Unfortunately most weren't even recycled, they were either burned in backyard firepits, or just thrown out

For me it's YYYY-MM-DD https://www.iso.org/iso-8601-date-and-time-format.html

Also, there is a special place for those people who keep making up new timestamps

When they initially created the Michelin guide (more a booklet), they gave it away for free to garages, automotive shops, and filling stations as promotional material. Unnfortunately because it was free, the employees were using it to prop up things, just left them laying around and generally didn't use it as a promotional device. Once Michenlin started charging for the guide, drivers started looking more closely and started using the guides increasely for trips

This was years ago, but IIRC some youtuber used the N word while playing one of the studio's games. The developers found out and sent the youtuber a dmca takedown notice for all their games, because f*ck racism and racist sh*tbags
