Terrible idea: A pirate site that distributes all their video files in zip containers... so they can preserve the timestampsand they've set the timestamp on every move to when it was published.

I'm not 100% sure this would work: I don't know if you can represent dates that far back in ZIP.The oldest surviving movie is from 1888, that's old enough that it's gonna cause Problems everywhere.

@foone Huh. Can any modem OS actually go further back than, say, the beginning of unix time?

@foone At a previous job, we had a geospatial database of POIs. I decided to add an easter egg, a place named HC SVNT DRACONES in the south China sea, and set its creation date to the month and day of my birthday in 1508, the year the Hunt-Lenox globe is dated to.Then I had to fix bugs in Several parts of our system, because they couldn't represent that date.

@foone On the other hand, genealogy programs can handle dates way farther back than that. (No Y2K problems, either.)

@foone As others have said, there are extensions. But baseline ZIP uses MS-DOS time, which I'm sure you know starts in 1980.

@foone what do you mean, “Episode IV”, they only ever made three Star Wars movies.

@foone ZIP doesn't seem to have any problems storing a 1888 date:

@foone Excel also thinks 1900 is a leap year, so it's not to be trusted about what is a date (insert venn diagram meme here)

@foone Of course, this pirate site would then need to have separate files for every territory because of how fragmented film publication dates are across territories (Even in the 2020s when video games have finally decided it’s mostly not worth the hassle of regional delays on releases)

@foone A torrent client I use sometimes does this, but for the date/time the torrent file was created.It's more than a little annoying and I can't turn it off.
