gollark: If you use DD/MM/YYYY AutoBotRobot queues your reminder at midnight UTC then, if you use YYYY-MM-DD it uses the current time but the provided date.
gollark: But you do need dates fairly often, and this makes it *consistent* between implementations.
gollark: For example, as well as the time-duration-type thing ("5y2mo3w" etc) it actually supports DD/MM/YYYY as well as some weird backward thing because it uses an external library for it too.
gollark: And even then it still has some weirdness.
gollark: Datetimes are very hard. AutoBotRobot has to do a bunch of stuff to make it do even roughly what people expect.
