Bullshit. ISO 8601 IS THE SUPERIOR DATE STANDARD
Tomorrow is 2024-08-30. DEAL WITH IT.

Hilariously, Star treks "stardates" are not uniform. The format shifts season to season and show to show.

It's standardized now

1725020287 is the true time as of right now

Metric is about measurements, not formatting. The date measurement is in days, months, and years for both ISO 8601 and what's shown.

This is the ideal file date format for sure.

I always prefer it without the dashes. And just add on HHMMSS while we're at it!
