Nice ragebaiting.

MM/DD/YY for me.
Edit: I learned something new today.
I never downvote people on Lemmy but I did for this one .... I just spent the past month going through some invoicing and paper receipts and it is absolutely infuriating to still see some businesses using MM-DD-YY while others insist on DD-MM-YY and some businesses have invoicing and receipt printers that use one or the other but not the same. It's not a big deal if you are dealing with documents that are a month or two old because you can guess from what time period they come from ... but it is absolutely confusing if documents get older than that.

Single letter for month is too ambiguous - how do you tell apart June, July and January? Also, what do O and N denote?

Edit: seems I missed the joke on the post. -

I escaped reddit for this?

RFC 3339 if you please. Let's be prescriptive.
After all the self-important blowhards in the committe were satisified that they had put their fingerprint on the ISO8601 document with bullshit like "year-month-week" format support and signed off, they went home.
The rest stayed behind, waited a few minutes to be safe, and then quickly made RFC3339 like a proper standard.
This is what RFC3339 vs ISO8601 feels like.

MM/YY for me. People can figure out the day of month themselves.

This fucknuts who thinks day should come before year, hah!
Give me YYYY-MM-DD, because dashes are better than slashes any day of the week. -

Hello, Y2K called, this is literally what caused it. Years stored in 2-digits had to be fixed on every computer on the planet before the calendar rolled to 2000. (People thought nukes would fly, glitches would crash the stock market and the world was going to end)

That's a tough one. I would have to say April 25. Because it's not too hot, not too cold, all you need is a light jacket.

wrote on last edited by [email protected]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.

I'm giving you a pity upvote lol

DD-MM-YYYY-HH-MM-SS
Makes no sense!
I prefer the alphabetical date format
DD-HH-MM-SS-mm-yyfor maximum confusion -

When talking about the date with another human, DD/MM (+YYYY if required); when doing anything related to the sorting of files by date, YYYY/MM/DD.

I see it now FML. Editing my comment.

Waiting for the ISO 8601 & 9001 gang to show up and promote YYYY-MM-DD.
Edit: That took seconds, a very punctual bunch.
ISO 8601/RFC-3339 (Unix Epoch also acceptable) gang reporting in.
