Anything ISO 8601 compliant. I know what I want.
YYYY-MM-DD maintains lexicographical order. Objectively the best to use with computers.
perfect date? October 10th, 2010. 10/10/10
I will never forgive my family for making me miss the Ben10 10/10/10 marathon that day… for church.
Clearly YYYY/MM/DD is the best. If you Tag any file with it, as a text, you can order information without fuzz. Since day-month-year, is a hierarchical representation of time, it also works as a top down indication, and as a natural counter of time.
The others are conventions imposed by organizations and governments. However, the only that doesn’t make sense or makes easy to read is MM/DD/YYYY. But as anything in life, if you teach and practice the use of it, humans learn and adapt. They could as well make it as MM/YYYY/DD and someone would say that is how they like it, because once you learn, humans don’t like to change.
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.
YYYY/MM/DD is the best but the other way rund also works.
YYYYMMDD is also valid, if you write right to left
YYYY-MM-DD is the way. Throw some extra data at the end, and it makes perfectly fine and meaningful serialization number.
But but but yyyy/mm/dd is easier to sort🥺🥺🥺
YYYY-MM-DD.
Nah YYYY/MM/DD is the perfect choice.
Tell that to Americans
YYYY-MM-DD is better
Same bro, same
HH/YYYYYY/MSMS/DD/SSS/MMMMM
with / ? its DD.MM.YYYY
The man clearly knows his priorities – keeping dates clear and confusion-free! Now, if only his love life could be as well-structured as his calendar.
DD.MM.YYYY
YYYY-MM-DD > DD.MM.YYYY >>> MM/DD/YYYY
This comments section is full of my kind of people
MM/DD/YYYY
YYYYY/MM/DD to avoid the y10k problem.
Act now or regret later! You have been warned.
Month first. That way you at least know what month first instead of just a day.
YYYYMMDD always and forever
YYYY/MM/DD
