OP.

This is the picture from the other thread.

Can you tell me the date at the bottom of it?

Why do people get shit scared on purpose?

The picture could be today if its yy/mm/dd.
Or different days depending on the format.
And people like to be fear mongered.

You're going out of your way to make this believable believable.

Also it's impossible for the magnetic field to be this way. (Look at the red lines.)

ISO8601 date format? used by many asian countries and the canadian government? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_8601

>> No.2304330

>>2304290

and here's the reason for listing the date this way: append the time to it. format is now YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS. it almost kind of...makes more sense than any other format.

>> No.2304344

From Googling around, this behavior is normal. Essentially, the Earth is in a pocket of 'stormy' solar wind (electrically charged particles the sun always ejects as a matter of course) from a patch of increased solar activity - we're in the midst of a current solar storm. Like all storms, it will pass like any other. It isn't a particularly strong one, given the minimal coverage. There are plenty of examples of exactly this from previous storms. It has nothing to do with Earth's magnetic poles shifting; that's a significantly longer timeframe.

Here's a timelapse from earlier in the year:

Its a Japanese website. Japan lists dates yy/mm/dd; America mm/dd/yy, Europe dd/mm/yy

And the American one is the only one that makes absolutely no sense.

>> No.2304359

>>2304352
Actually, no. Canada's makes the least sense. Due to its relationship with the United States, its historical ties to the UK, and its commitment to ISO standards, dates in Canada can appear mm-dd-yyyy, dd-mm-yyyy, or yyyy-mm-dd.

Imagine getting a document dated 07-03-05 in Canada. You're so fucked.

Im from /x/, i was about to ask you learned people what you thought about this. Im mostly retarded, but i figured this may happen from time to time and be no big deal. its not like i monitor this nonsense.

Those lines are most likely a result of bad data. There would be massive consequences (satellite communication disturbances, birds acting weird, blazing northern lights throughout most of the US, Europe) if the field was actually acting like that.

After the switch, sure. Which will take hundreds or thousands of years. In the meantime, you'll have a half-dozen poles moving erratically.
