Or in any country that’s important

America being backwards and dumb in many ways doesn't make them unimportant.

I think as an exception this is not one word.

[-] lugal@lemmy.ml 2 points 10 months ago

Yes, it's 3 words: einunddreisigster Dezember zweitausendunddreiundzwanzig

(I put 12th instead of 31st in my first comment because I'm stupid)

Cue the ISO format chads...

Because it's clearly the best for numerous reasons.

  • when the 4 digit year is first, it's obvious month is second. So 2024-01-02, for example, is definitely jan second and not Feb first (unless you're insane)
  • you can name things with the date first and an alphabetical sort will automatically sort the files by date (you can't always sort by date and sometimes you actually want a mixed sort like this

12-31-23

The 23rd day of the 31st month of 2012?

WTF?

For the sane world the last day of 2023 was 23-12-31, or formated properly: 2023/12/31

2023-12-31

It's nicer and sorting it is easier.

[-] avater@lemmy.world 48 points 10 months ago

yeah on your shitty american way of writing it... laughs in european

[-] DannyBoy@sh.itjust.works 44 points 10 months ago

For less than 5% of people. The vast majority use a proper format.

[-] Fishytricks@lemmy.world 19 points 10 months ago

I really like year/month/day format as its sorts my files accordingly. Too bad not many countries, including my own, use this format.

[-] synapse1278@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

Also my favorite date format, at least when it comes to name computer files.

[-] zueski@lemm.ee 5 points 10 months ago

[-] BlueMagma@sh.itjust.works 3 points 10 months ago
