USA is the edgy teen after moving out of the parents house (Europe) and finally doing stuff their own way. Not because it is practical, but because they feel rebellious.

Lol, This is probably the best explanation of America that I've ever heard.๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿพ

20% of the population in 1776 were slaves who came from Africa. There are more countries outside Europe

[-] Aagje_D_Vogel@feddit.nl 6 points 2 years ago

Not like the Europeans colonized those African countries at the time.

The Scramble for Africa happened after the USA was established as a country

Majority of the world uses YYYY-MM-DD. Day 1st makes no sense. If you need the month or year it should come 1st. You need to zoom into what you need not select from any number of months with the same day. That would be like putting time with seconds 1st.

[-] excusablejuan@lemmy.world 23 points 2 years ago

Not really, most countries use YYYY-MM-DD to save documents, photos or archive papers.

DD-MM-YYYY is for daily usage.
