    regarding the k8s one, there must be a cohort of people born officially at midnight, 1 January 1970 GMT (offset for whatever timezone they were in) who can say they were born at time 0.

    The 55 years old Kubernetes cluster is not really a WTF. I'm suspecting that during startup, the system time wasn't set so it defaulted to 1st of January 1970. Apparently the NTP client corrected it later. I just wonder whether there are servers around that don't use a battery to keep the time updated.

    The fact that it was correctly rendered as 55 years is hinting that they're using a common library for that, so also no WTF.

    I'm obviously missing something with the delivery one. Anyone care to catch me up with what the actual WTF is?

    The last one could be autocorrect changing "..." (three U+002E FULL STOP) into "…" (one U+2026 HORIZONTAL ELLIPSIS)?

    Poor graphical design.The picture makes it look like the truck is going back to the warehouse.

    @Darren about the only thing that's even slightly WTF about the delivery one is that the graphic of the delivery van is pointing the wrong way.

    But compared to e.g. Virtudyne, it barely registers even on the most sensitive of WTF-o-meters.

    I know office politics are fair game for TDWTF, but this is one of the places I go to escape real politics. I know it's tough these days....

    Better 4476 of 4000 chars than those text areas that will erase any character over 4000 or won't allow you to paste and edit anything longer and just crop it to 4000.

    Poor Vitra might have guessed that her preferred university couldn’t read Unified Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics.

    A local college radio station sometimes replays shows. And a few of them have had a description of "Replay of December 31, XXXX show".

    At first I thought "Hmm, I guess it could be interesting to hear what an old New Years Eve show was like" until I noticed the only year that showed up was 1969 and realized it was an unusual interpretation of Unix time 0.

    For the "politics" one, a practical question - has this person actually been fired? Their name appears nowhere on the paperwork, after all. Seems a pretty easy argument to make that no notification has been properly given.

    We are so screwed. There’s nobody left competent enough in the U.S. government to even fill out a form, let alone run a country of 300 million citizens.

    In that case, they shouldn't point it out until the probationary period has expired, when it becomes much harder to get rid of you!
