Perfect date

Immediate red flag, we all know that YYYY/MM/DD is the only acceptable perfect date
Agreed. As a nonviolent person, I'm willing to go to war over this. Can't have two files from different years listed side by side because they were from the first day of different months. That's anarchy.

YYYYMMDDHHMMSS is the only acceptable format.

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

Epoch, takes a bit of practice but I already read it fluently and often make fun of everyone arpund me for not knowing how to read a clock (my clock)

I'm fine with anything in the realm of yyyymmdd or reversed, as long as it isn't the confusing format that is common in the USA

If you use DD/MM/YYYY then logically you should also use ss:mm:hh
-
I know. I started using the format with periods back in the 90s, before I knew of the standard, and at this point doing it with periods is muscle memory. That's not meant as an excuse, just an explanation. The excuse is laziness.
Best excuse

YYYYMMDD, scrub out the excess fat!
If only there were some international standards organization to make a decision for us!

MM/DD/YY for me.

ISO 8601 is clearly much superior due to being delimited.

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.

No, it's a unix directory structure

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.
I'm sorry that you're wrong... What a bummer.

ISO is paywalled therefore inferior than the free RFC.
