I'm grumpy too... and I think pages that have chatty dates and do not contain embedded parseable dates/times at all should be shot with a poop gun.

But I realize that humans feel the need to do this and I like the way Reddit does it.

<time title="Sat Sep 9 13:06:15 2023 UTC" datetime="2023-09-09T13:06:15+00:00" class="">1 month ago</time>

with a title to show tooltip for casual interest, but especially important, the chatty time within an explicit TIME tag that allows parseable stamps to be saved with pages and mined regardless of local naming conventions.
