BrodieDear North Americans,
Please stop using seasons when referring to release dates etc.
Kind regards,
The southern hemisphere.
Savera@brodie you are the guys who mess this up. Why can’t you have regular seasons like the rest of us?

otheorange_tag@brodie we need some kind of left hand rule for vector cross products?! #iWasToldThereDbeNoMath
Kirsty@brodie I recently worked for a global company that released its newsletter quarterly in this fashion 🤦♀️
Blake Leonard@brodie I think this is part of why people use "Q2", but it feels corporate and stale.

GreenDotGuy@brodie I'm sorry, but I demand more visits from my southern-hemisphere folks before I give it up. I'm game for it, but I want to build enough of a social network up where we can swap for a bit or I can take my Brazilian friends on a foliage drive. I will show you snow!
meduz'@brodie Well, it’s also sometimes confusing in the Northern hemisphere when English is not your native language. 
essjax@brodie in a similar vein, saying on a global platform "I'm from the bay area" doesn't geolocate you with quite the accuracy you think it does 😄

Virginicus@brodie Hope falls eternal in the human breast.
the grugq@brodie we don’t even have the same types of season. In the tropics it is Hot, Hotter, Wet, Wetter
Rua / Whitepaw &🏳️🌈🇳🇱
rniente@brodie but waterfall development spins the other way there.
Harshad Sharma@brodie Co-signed, places with different seasons who have no idea what part of the year the North Americans are talking about.
Ninad Pundalik@brodie also signed by folks in the Northern Hemisphere who have very different weather patterns!
6x6@brodie Or you could just invite them to Melbourne: four, sometimes more, seasons in a day. Then they’re bound to be right eventually.
@bernardlyons or anywhere in the tropics where they only have 2 seasons a year.
Robert Atkins@brodie Also the Pacific has two sides which are enormously different time zones. Please be more precise than “Pacific time”.
Renaud Lienhart
Geoff CromptonI wish I could boost this multiple times.
londonjustin@brodie also don't use dates, America, until you can get them right
Tursiae@brodie It's usually companies in Silicon Valley pulling this crap, which is kinda bold.
After all, they only have two seasons: mid-20°s and sunny.. and N95-required bushfire smoke haze.
snott@brodie also “Pacific” for timezones. WTF even is that, even google cant tell me; PST or PDT, or which one is even active…
Just UTC +/- whatever please.

@[email protected] @brodie every time I see eastern time I have to work out which eastern time zone they are talking about. Is it Australian Eastern, is it Eastern European, is it North America, is it Indonesia?
@brodie Also for any country in the northern hemisphere that places the equinox and solstice somewhere in the middle of the seasons instead of at the start like they do in the US
@brodie Do people from the US call "A Midsummer Night's Dream" something like "A Start of Summer Nights Dream"?
Just call me Ash@brodie would that be hemispherenormacy? 🤔

Nicholas Nethercote@brodie Fun fact: about 11% of the world's population lives in the Southern Hemisphere.
@nnethercote thats true, but not really an excuse to alienate more than 700 million people (plus those who live in the tropics and anyone else who uses different seasons to the west).
@brodie I agree! (I live in the Southern Hemisphere myself.)
I just mentioned it because I think it's a fun fact and most people would have no idea what the number is.
Vicente Perez@brodie since we are righting wrongs… can we get the US to start calling its “midwestern states” the “mideastern states”, as they should be?
Arcadiagt5@brodie @kcarruthers Also true of Japan… looks at the Spring Anime season with the Summer season coming soon…
Tim Richards@brodie Also specify the actual month or use yyyy/mm/dd for ease of sorting and knowing which day/month it is.
Mark@brodie
Good luck with that.
They seem to need to do EVERYTHING arse-backwards.
Seems like some kind of inferiority complex manifesting, sort of like the French.

MelbPTUser@brodie In Australia we refer university semesters as "Semester 1" and "Semester 2" but in the Northern Hemisphere they are referred as "Autumn Semester" and "Spring Semester". Going to be very confusing for me, when I go on my student exchange to Norway in the "Autumn Semester" 🙃
Cendrine Marrouat@brodie you’re talking about the US. Unless I missed something, it’s not done in Canada and Mexico. So this is not a North American problem.
Probably Paul@haikushack
@brodie I think the fact that they signed off with "the southern hemisphere" means they meant the 50 states of the United Stated of America, not only yankees. 🤔

@haikushack I was definitely having a jab at Canadians too 😜
I'll blame a few Canadian tech YouTube channels for including them in this rant.

Dr M@brodie also let’s all just agree to use MMM format for months instead of numbers so there’s never any question ever again
