And the best part is the Ruby way accounts for leap years.

    I prefer the one on the left because it's evident it doesn't account for leap days, while I'd be questioning whether the one on the right does.

    I'll give it a shot. Looks a bit kludgy and I've been typing this on my phone while sitting on the toilet. What am I doing with my life?

    from datetime import datetime 

now = datetime.now()
year = now.strftime('%Y')
month = now.strftime('%m')
day = now.strftime('%d')
tenyearsago = datetime(year-10, month, day)
print(tenyearsago.strftime('%d.%m.%Y')

    there is a simple fix to account for leap years, just add 10/4 days. /s
