      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.

                      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.

                            / 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.

                                  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
