 My habit is to read US dates in a weak version of boustrophedon, so with
3/14/2024 I start reading the fourteen, then the three, then the 2024. I
haven’t managed to shift mental gear to read them as an authentic
estadounidense does. What do you do?

We in Europe read it 14/3/2024.
And as I just saw it confirmed while reading our ng nl.taal, here we celebrate π-day the 31st of April, which we then rename to the 1st of May. It's a transcendental affair of sorts, as you can see ;-)

 And with the difficulty of measuring very small differences in time, and the
inherent coarseness in time of the act of serving pie, with current technology
it is as achievable as it ever will be.

Write you are, rong it can't get.
