Nothing beats ISO 8601, YYYY-MM-DD
RFC 3339! ISO 8601 has way too many weird formats that are allowed like today would be 2023-W41-2. See for example here.
I feel offended - W%W-%w is my preferred way of noting down dates :D
Great, now I need to memorize "RFC 3339", because I officially have a new favorite date format. Thank you!
This is the way.
The most logical format, especially for digital files.
This is the way.
Put the most significant digits first. Always.
100%
- alphabetical order = chronological order
- unambiguous regardless of locale
- easy to read/parse by either machine or human
I remember in high school a friend waited until 10/10/10 to ask a girl out so he'd never forget their anniversary. I think they dated for like a month lol
10/10 plan
10 percent of the time it works 10 percent.
Let me guess, instead of asking out another girl on 11/11/11 he played Skyrim?
It's not a bad idea, that's why I got married on 2/14 so I wouldn't get stuck having to have an extra gift giving holiday.
i'll say it time and time again:
This format is shit and makes no sense
No no, he got married in the 14th month of the year which doesn't exist, so there wouldn't ever be an anniversary
I unironically asked myself what happened in February of 2014 at first lmao
New Zealand: It's the fucking eleventh!
gotta love seeing everyone else celebrating something about the date that we are already done with
Too late, it's 11/10/2023 in au now
How are you in november already?!?!? ^/s
Nobody woke him when September ended.
I don't get why more people don't go biggest to smallest. Makes so much more sense. Especially when listing dates in order. YYYY/MM/DD
ISO 8601, BABY!
I would object on general principles, but....
Well...
It ain't wrong lol.
Damn it! I am one day late.
10 out of 10 out of 23 are like 100%
Indonesian here, it's October 11th here.
Not just Americans https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Date_format_by_country
But pretty much just Americans
Unix people today : "NICE NICE"
Unix people today from 20:28:10 to 20:28:20 GMT : "NICE NICE NICE NICE"
Also looks better if you interpret it as a score than, say, a 9/11.
What happened on the 9th of November?
Late, but 10/10 is my birthday - since I was born in Europe, raised in the US and now live in the UK, I've never had a problem writing my birthday correctly!
