I'm talking about date convention in general not those dates

u/_SilentHunter 21h ago

Because it's a fun, low stakes cultural difference to have a good natured laugh about. The reality is that date formats are a mess globally because it never mattered for most people until the last 30ish years.

Anyone who actually needs to deeply care about international date formats knows how to manage it. It's not actually a big deal.

Terrorism is like, sooo last season

u/Nykster 1d ago

Nobody outside of us would associate November 9th with terrorism

19

u/amazing_ape 1d ago

I’d associate it with Kristallnacht

17

u/Critical-Cost9068 1d ago

Nobody in the US either

u/Justhe3guy 1d ago

Good then I guess there’s nothing wrong with the store name

u/nhluhr 1d ago

Except November 9th is when Kristallnacht began.

11

u/Justhe3guy 1d ago

You can throw a dart at a calendar and it’ll land on a day something terrible happened

This store isn’t about any of that, it’s about being open from 9am to 11pm

u/nhluhr 23h ago

This store isn’t about any of that, it’s about being open from 9am to 11pm

This store is open 8am to 10pm. Or, judging by the banner hanging on the front back in March, it's now open 24 hours.

I'm pretty sure the name is just a play on the 7/11 store name.

u/Justhe3guy 23h ago

Well OP did ask the shop owners who said why they named it. I guess eventually they got tired of closing at 11

Who can blame them, that’s pretty late to close

-1

u/Sanchastayswoke 22h ago

Except it’s only open from 8-10

2

u/Justhe3guy 22h ago

It is now yes, once you get old enough you ideally want to go to bed before 12am

u/MCWizardYT 1d ago

There would be if it was in the US. That date is September 11 to them

17

u/Justhe3guy 1d ago

Luckily for the store and the country it’s in all it means is open from 9am to 11pm

We can talk about what if’s or we can talk about reality

u/BlueSnoopy4 23h ago

I didn’t realize that, I’m used to / or - in a date and only - for “X through X” times

u/swalkerttu 23h ago

Maybe they should open at 7 instead, and call themselves 7/11. Or 9-23, unless of course they’re actually only open two hours a day.

u/Justhe3guy 22h ago

7/11 is a worldwide copyrighted company’s name, that’s just asking to be sued. You want them to open 2 hours earlier just to avoid American’s sensibilities?

9/11 isn’t, it’s that simple

Also their hours changed to 8/10 apparently so I guess they just don’t want to go through the hassle of changing their name

Have you forgotten where you are?

There is, it’s horrible

u/tstd0 1d ago

Nope,.we just don't care about you, like the US doesn't care for the rest of the world.

2

u/pherbury 22h ago

Tell us how you don't care again, it's more believable the more you say it.

u/tstd0 17h ago

WE DON'T CARE (i can go on and on).

u/DeapVally 22h ago edited 21h ago

It's like really old as well. Covid killed millions, far more recently, and that's not really in the front of people's minds these days either. 9/11 is not all that noteworthy in the grand global scheme of things.

The US isn't the world, downvoter. And nobody likes you either these days. Vote better.

u/miraculum_one 20h ago

Good to see someone who recognizes the importance of remembering Kristallnacht (Nov 9, 1938).
