10/11/23
It’s not in order but it’s the same order as how dates are normally written.12th of October 2023 is how dates are written at least in Australia
Well no, normal people write 11th October 2023.
Normal people write “11. Lokakuuta 2023”
Unix people today : “NICE NICE”
Unix people today from 20:28:10 to 20:28:20 GMT : “NICE NICE NICE NICE”
Damn it! I am one day late.
Also looks better if you interpret it as a score than, say, a 9/11.
What happened on the 9th of November?
Indonesian here, it’s October 11th here.
I remember in high school a friend waited until 10/10/10 to ask a girl out so he’d never forget their anniversary. I think they dated for like a month lol
It’s not a bad idea, that’s why I got married on 2/14 so I wouldn’t get stuck having to have an extra gift giving holiday.
Let me guess, instead of asking out another girl on 11/11/11 he played Skyrim?
In my opinion that game aged quite poorly.
Revolutionary when it came out, nearly unplayable now though. It’s like a modern Goldeneye.
Too late, it’s 11/10/2023 in au now
I would object on general principles, but…
Well…
It ain’t wrong lol.
It kinda is, not everyone uses the / as separator. In Germany it’s 10.10. for example
I use “-” as the separator usually, but I think they are about equivilant
Not just Americans https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Date_format_by_country
But pretty much just Americans
Nothing beats ISO 8601, YYYY-MM-DD
RFC 3339! ISO 8601 has way too many weird formats that are allowed like today would be 2023-W41-2. See for example here.
This is the way.
I am fine with any format that puts the month between year and day.
Same, but MSD->LSD is nice in general for the alphanumeric ordering
This is the way.
Put the most significant digits first. Always.
The most logical format, especially for digital files.
100%
- alphabetical order = chronological order
- unambiguous regardless of locale
- easy to read/parse by either machine or human

I don’t get why more people don’t go biggest to smallest. Makes so much more sense. Especially when listing dates in order. YYYY/MM/DD
ISO 8601, BABY!
That’s how it’s done in chinese. Imo DD/MM/YYYY is better though, since in practice the year is most commonly just the current year and isn’t nearly as important as the day or month.
Not only that but it is different enough with the year in front that you can assume MM/DD is next. With the other two MM/DD/YYYY or DD/MM/YYYY you are stuck relying on context to fully know what format someone is using. (Unless the day in question is greater than 12.)
Once again Europeans assume the rest of the world is identical because Americans are the only ones bothering to correct them.
Not only Europeans, or Americans, or Christians. Most countries use the Gregorian Calendar either solely or additionally to a national calendar.
TIL Christian is a demonym…
Americans? You mean usians surely
Practically no one in the USA would have any idea what such a word would be representing.
There are other words. Statesians, seppos, yanks, … There is a full list of other names here https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demonyms_for_the_United_States
Name one country thats not in America that uses mm/dd/yyyy.
Germany uses DMY exclusively. Why is it green instead of cyan?
From the article:
The format dd.mm.yyyy using dots (which denote ordinal numbering) is the traditional German date format. Since 1996-05-01, the international format yyyy-mm-dd has become the official standard date format, but the handwritten form d. mmmm yyyy is also accepted (see DIN 5008). Standardisation applies to all applications in the scope of the standard including uses in government, education, engineering and sciences. Since 2006, the old format (d)d.(m)m.(yy)yy is allowed again as alternative to the yyyy-mm-dd format in areas where there is no risk of ambiguation.
I have never seen yyyy-mm-dd in the wild except maybe as a filename conversation for practical reasons (you can sort them more easily). All official documents use (d)d.(m)m.(yy)yy
10 out of 10 out of 23 are like 100%
