The description of the limitations https://github.com/gaborcsardi/parsedate#limitations says:

The git parser does not work for dates before 1970 and after 2100. For these dates the current year is used instead.

That was true in the examples shown, but sometimes other years are used.

TestDates = c("3/27/1969", "03/27/1969") parse_date(TestDates) [1] "2027-01-03 UTC" "2027-01-03 UTC"
