Examples include a delivery notification updated to 'Yesterday', a GPS week rollover bug causing a 2008 Ford's navigation to jump back 1024 weeks, a kink community site showing a profile photo uploaded before the account existed, an RSS dashboard showing crawl stats 261 years in the future, and a parcel notification dated before the Roman conquest of Britain that then fell back to the Unix epoch. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it. Read it at the original source: ## Questions this post answers ### What is the GPS week rollover bug and how does it affect vehicle navigation systems? The GPS week rollover bug causes navigation systems to misinterpret the GPS date counter when it resets, jumping the displayed date far into the past or future. A 2008 Ford's GPS jumped back 1024 weeks — roughly 19.6 years — with no firmware update available and no manual way to correct or hide the date display. _Developers maintaining embedded or GPS-dependent systems track rollover edge cases like this on daily.dev._ ## Similar posts on daily.dev - [Untimely](https://daily.dev/posts/untimely-juzvk8nyx) · The Daily WTF · 1 upvotes · 0 comments - [Spacetime Anomalies](https://daily.dev/posts/spacetime-anomalies-iiz7wtn0o) · The Daily WTF · 2 upvotes · 0 comments - [Good Time](https://daily.dev/posts/good-time-l3pebpgfd) · The Daily WTF · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [Timely Reminder](https://daily.dev/posts/timely-reminder-xavynczn1) · The Daily WTF · 1 upvotes · 0 comments --- [View this post on daily.dev](https://daily.dev/posts/time-wounds-all-heels-bs3wps1we) ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/dailydotdev","https://github.com/dailydotdev","https://www.linkedin.com/company/daily-dev-ltd"]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://daily.dev/#website","url":"https://daily.dev","name":"daily.dev","publisher":{"@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization"},"potentialAction":{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https://daily.dev/search?q={search_term_string}"},"query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"TechArticle","headline":"Time Wounds All Heels","url":"https://daily.dev/posts/time-wounds-all-heels-bs3wps1we","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/time-wounds-all-heels-bs3wps1we"},"datePublished":"2026-08-07T11:10:52.153Z","dateModified":"2026-08-07T11:11:11.790Z","description":"A humorous collection of real-world date and time handling failures submitted by readers.
