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 ....

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
