There seems to be a typo in the date.

I vote for this mysterious month of Duodecember to remain standing.

One might guess that the author has a numpad on their keyboard, perhaps.

Duh-oh! Fixed. Thanks!

This is probably a nonstandard variant of European date order, yielding YYYY-DD-MM.

Usually when the year goes first or when there are hyphens as delimiters, it's an ISO 8601-style date (YYYY-MM-DD). However, Europeans often write DD/MM in other contexts, so the habit could transfer over when writing the year first, even though there's no standardized format that does this.

Well, no, because it's not December yet. Pretty sure it's just a typo on the ISO date format.

A one character typo seems more likely, than a non-standard date format for two dates in the future being used as timestamps.

Correction: Every country except the US (not counting the ones that use YYYY/DD/MM, such as Japan).

Ah, the Europeans and the slip-ups we imagine they commit using date formats we haven’t seen... before realizing that it’s not December yet.
