While humans debate philosophical perspectives on water glasses, Excel is over there screaming "FEBRUARY 1st!!!" because it thinks the 1st of February is somehow more exciting than New Year's. Classic Excel—where dates are stored as serial numbers since 1900, and February 1st is literally just the number 32. No nuance, no philosophy, just pure, unbridled enthusiasm for being exactly one month into the year. It's the spreadsheet equivalent of that coworker who celebrates their "half-birthday" with the same energy as their actual birthday.
