Perfect date

I'm the only one annoyed about DD/MM/YYYY not being a date, but a date "format"?
Not only it's a recycled joke, it doesn't even make sense.
wrote on last edited by [email protected]DD/MM/YYYY or YYYY-MM-DD are formatting conventions for expressing dates. The date itself is probably converted from some date object anyway, like the Unix Epoch, and can be expressed in any variety of formats.Wednesday, June 11, 2025 is a date.dddd, mmm dd, yyyyor%A, %B %d, %Yis a format.Edit: I’m pretty sure I misread the comment above.

I thought that was unix time /s
No, it's a unix directory structure

YYYY.MM.DD is the correct format.

This is stupid AF.
YYYY/MM/DD
This is the best choice.

For computing or sorting purposes, YYYY-MM-DD is best. But in day to day writing a date, I prefer DD-MON-YYYY.
I'm sorry that you're wrong... What a bummer.

ISO 8601 is clearly much superior due to being delimited.
ISO is paywalled therefore inferior than the free RFC.

I mean slashes
/instead of colons.That’s not a colon. Both are commonly in use in Europe. USA just switched the d/m

YYYYMMDDHHMMSS is the only acceptable format.
Nope, it clearly should be mmsshhMMDDYYYY

For consistency, Americans should adopt mm:ss.hh MM-DD-YYYY.

If you use DD/MM/YYYY then logically you should also use ss:mm:hh
No, because in most cases the most important information about a date is the day, then month, then year. It also matches the way we read dates. For the time it's typically the hour, then minutes, then seconds. YYYY/MM/DD is better when naming files, but in UIs I much prefer DD/MM/YYYY, it's just more natural to the way we read.

small correction: YYYY-MM-DD to avoid common special meanings chars

/isn't a valid char in filenames, yyyy-mm-dd is better -

Waiting for the ISO 8601 & 9001 gang to show up and promote YYYY-MM-DD.
Edit: That took seconds, a very punctual bunch.

For consistency, Europeans should adopt ss:mm:hh DD-MM-YYYY.
See how ridiculous that is? ISO8601 or GTFO

At least ss:mm:hh and DD-MM-YYYY are internally consistent, even if they aren't consistent with each other.
MM-DD-YYYY isn't even internally consistent.

iso8601 aka 2025-06-12

Or just use ISO8601 whi uses hh:mm:ss and well it is an ISO standard, but at least DD:MM:YYYY makes more sense than what Americans are doing.
Also 4th of july ....
