I really wonder how americans were able to fuck this one up. There are three ways to arrange these and two of them are acceptable!

Edit: Yes, I meant common ways, not combinatorically possible ways.

Hmmm more like 6 ways but I get your point

[-] azertyfun@sh.itjust.works 39 points 2 years ago

Three ways that people actually use. YYYY-MM-DD, DD-MM-YYYY, and MM-DD-YYYY (ew).

AFAIK no-one does YYYY-DD-MM, DD-YYYY-MM, or MM-YYYY-DD... yet. Don't let the Americans know about these formats, they might just start using them out of spite.

YYYY-DD-MM, DD-YYYY-MM, or MM-YYYY-DD

What the actual fuck

'hey man, what date is it today?' 'well it's the 15th of 2023, August'

Lmao, I want to try responding like this and see what the reactions are

[-] Futurama@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

I want to try this, too. Make it more possessive, though. The 15th of 2023's August. Really add to the confusion.
