    They did; the Z at the end denotes UTC.

    My point was not everyone is just at UTC zero but sure Z is also a timezone.

      Heretic!

      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.

            ISO 8601 is clearly much superior due to being delimited.

            ISO is paywalled therefore inferior than the free RFC.

              That’s not a colon. Both are commonly in use in Europe. USA just switched the d/m

                  YYYYMMDDHHMMSS is the only acceptable format.

                      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.

                              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.

                                      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 ....

                                        Immediate red flag, we all know that YYYY/MM/DD is the only acceptable perfect date

                                        Actually YYYY-MM-DD is better since it can be used basically everywhere and with / it can't be used in filenames

                                          Let's not forget that technically you have to pay for ISO8601, despite it being nearly useless as a standard because it allows several incompatible formats to coexist.

                                          Fucking wild.

                                          Only if you want to say you have the certification for it, you can use it if you want, that is fine
