to make things as not confusing as possible, my rule of thumb is:

  • yyyy-mm-dd (yyyy instead of yy ensures that it's not mistaken for dd-mm-yy) (hyphens can be replaced with underscores)
  • dd.mm.yyyy (yyyy same as above) (really dislike using for filenames, sorting doesn't work)
  • mm/dd/yyyy (only if there is no other choice) edit: mm/dd/yyyy vs mm/dd/yy doesn't matter because both make 0 sense already edit2: i forgor to say that yyyy also avoids y2.1k and subsequent issues

The first one you listed is an ISO standard date format, and is the only way to go :)

if i write a date on paper i tend to go with 2, but yes

But what about why 10k, the horrors

[-] droans@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I dunno. If the date is between 2001 and 2012, I prefer YY/DD/MM. So August 4th, 2005 would be 05/04/08.

Some men just like to watch the world burn.
