I prefer "sensible". As someone who has worked in global companies across date systems, it's the only way to ensure everyone interprets a date the same way.
I can't stand when Google does that. It's language dependent. And when you do it in my language you get stuff like 2025-JUI-09. Cool. So is that Juillet or Juin? And this is a real problem that I faced multiple times with this format, despite the format being not that common. If the format requires Anglophones to think about speakers of other languages, it's not a good format.
if they're programming, then its most likely YYYYMMDD or YYYY-MM-DD or separate variables for each. The slash is probably cuz its written out like this.
Iām going to school for programming, Iād assume most mid-high level languages have some kind of date and time object that abstracts the internal formatting away from the programmer. What language are you using, and how do you store that?
YYYY-MM-DD

I think this sub MAY be a bit biased

Until you meet that one guy you want to hammer their head in with a Mayan calendar.
What makes you say that? š¤
YYYY-MM-DD hh:mm:ss
Perfection
I mean, duhhhhh. Who wants to catalog things out of chronological order??
Also fine, but all other formats are just weird.

I prefer YYYY-MMM-DD
As in 2025-OCT-09
It feels completely unambiguous.
Yeah, until you see 2025-SPA-09 and alike
Tell me you're american without telling me you're american.

Mom said it's my turn to repost that meme
Fine, but make sure to give me a nibble of some more of the pixels first
r/MoldyMemes
the noise ratio is strong with this one. if you wanna help entropy, crop a couple pixels before reposting
Or maybe even screenshot it.
Heresy!
I was about to make a comment about YYYYMMDD being superior until I realised it was posted in ISO8601 š
YYYYMMDD is still superior.
My point was that I would be preaching to the choir.
But if no one else is there...
This meme is so old, it's triggering my dust allergies
That's a red flag.
That's a tough one. I'd have to say April 25th. Because it's not too hot, not too cold, all you need is a light jacket.
April 25th.
All you need is a light jacket!
When programming, I prefer YYYY/MM/DD. It makes it easy to sort in a simple program.
So would YYYY-MM-DD, wich is ISO8601
facepalms everywhere, HOW HARD CAN IT BE?!
I use YYYY.MM.DD in all my documents. Am I a villain?
Not a villain, but deserving of capital punishment for sure
Chaotic good
Use MM-DD-YYYY, jail. Use YYYY-DD-MM, jail. Use YYYY.MM.DD, believe it or not, straight to jail.
dude if anything use it correctly: YYYY-MM-DD
if they're programming, then its most likely YYYYMMDD or YYYY-MM-DD or separate variables for each. The slash is probably cuz its written out like this.
If you're programming, you should generally prefer hyphens as slashes are used as directory separators and hence thorny in filenames.
yeah, going through the trouble of escaping those slashes is just not worth it. besides, hyphens look neat.
But I think slashes are pretty common for dates when written down, though i have no idea where it comes from
sure, but i was referring to how he wrote it out, it's almost provocative to use the wrong separator despite being in the iso 8601 sub
For anything that requires keeping records for more than a single month this is the only rational approach.
When programming I am sometimes met with CYYMMDD. That is, 1997 => 197 and 2025 => 225. Once upon a time I am told bytes were very expensive.

MM.DD.YYYY
It's only confusing if you're intellectually deficient.
As long as the day is at the end or the beginning I'm happy. And yes, even DD-YYYY-MM is fine for me.
"can be confusing really"?
Shouldn't it be, "can be really confusing" or "can be confusing, really"?
