    The foreigner residing among you must be treated as your native-born. Love them as yourself, for you were foreigners in Egypt. I am the LORD your God.

    It's the Y2K bug all over again I tells ya, nuclear power plants will melt down, planes will drop like stones from the sky and toasters will take over the earth!

    In reality it might cause problems for some sites and possibly financial transactions which are really dependent upon things happening in a linear fashion and tend to use milliseconds.

    Last time it happened in 2012 Reddit crashed so yeah, the world will probably end tonight. Bye everyone.
