Here you go:

The third of fourteenuary, obviously! To be fair, using anything other than yyyy/mm/dd should lead to execution anyway - you can all debate which of your formats was 'wronger' while you wait on death row together.
edit: Expr's code is going to find them all twice now
edit: Expr's code is going to find them all twice now
It shouldn't; firstly, it only tries to find up to one date from any single post, and secondly, the initial post should be ignored (unless it's ID changes for some odd reason) because the date it originally had wasn't a guess.
Sweet data prep, nicely planned. I've been working with flimsy legacy code too long 
No coding here. Just plain 09.09.2018.
My birthday - 04.05.2018!
