Time Traveling Cloud Saves
Ah, the mysterious cloud save from the year 1601 — clearly from when your medieval ancestor was debugging the first JavaScript framework on their stone tablet. Meanwhile, your save from 2025 suggests you've been living in the future. Time travel: the unexpected side effect of cloud synchronization that no one mentioned in the documentation. Choose wisely, traveler. That 1601 save probably doesn't include your NFT collection or quantum blockchain commits.

The Y2K38 Apocalypse Warning Sticker

Just like Y2K but with fewer panic bunkers and more GitHub issues. At this point, I'm more worried about my code from last sprint than some timestamp issue 14 years from now. Though I'm impressed anyone thinks my ThinkPad will still boot by then.

When Programmers Try To Date
When asked about an ideal first date, most people think dinner or coffee. But programmers? They think Unix Epoch - January 1st, 1970, 00:00:00 UTC. That's not a romantic evening, that's literally timestamp zero in computing. No wonder we're all single - we interpret "date" as a data type, not a social activity. Seven billion people on this planet and we're out here flirting with time standards.
