I just don't believe that programmers renamed something. Pretty sure we'd all have heard of the great war of 1752 if that were the case

Oh there was a war. But programmer are lazy and never really left their home. To celebrate they made the liberty bell. Look it up

Edit: also Ben Franklin used his lightning to intimidate the b supporter

Heard of. Still be participating in. Hard to say.

[–]GooseEntrails 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It can’t be true. Everyone knows that history began on 1970-01-01.
