ISO 8601 or bust.
8601 for life
So glad this is the default in Japan. 🇯🇵 😌
I expected to see this when I looked at the comments, and you didn’t disappoint me!
That one for file sorting, the one in the pic for everything else.
Sorry, in Linux everything is a file, so there is no “everything else.”
Life extends beyond Linux, though. I was speaking in general terms.
No, YYYY-MM-DD is fine for real life. Just drop the year when it doesn’t matter. Billions of people use this format.
So if you communicate with someone you will specify the date in the year 2023 september 23rd we shall meet and not 23rd of september 🧐
Beautiful
No more comments necessary in this thread.
What about YYYY/MM/DD?
Even better, easier sorting.
Yeah, that’s the one you use for filenames. Backup images and the likes.
Works , but MMDDYY ugh
Tired: ISO date format
Wired: milliseconds since the Unix Epoch
Galactic brain: Planck time units since the Big Bang
Impractical waste of computing power and information storage
Not if you encode it using an exponent. One Planck time unit is roughly 1.8 x 10-43 seconds, so with an exponent of 2128 (roughly 3.4 x 1038) you could write a second as 54510 x 2128 TP
Another fun fact, 2128+32 Planck time units are about 21 hours
Also almost killed all computing in y2k
I like DDMMYY but for some reason when I include the time as ss:mm:hh nobody shows up to the event on time.
to make things as not confusing as possible, my rule of thumb is:
- yyyy-mm-dd (yyyy instead of yy ensures that it’s not mistaken for dd-mm-yy) (hyphens can be replaced with underscores)
- dd.mm.yyyy (yyyy same as above) (really dislike using for filenames, sorting doesn’t work)
- mm/dd/yyyy (only if there is no other choice) edit: mm/dd/yyyy vs mm/dd/yy doesn’t matter because both make 0 sense already edit2: i forgor to say that yyyy also avoids y2.1k and subsequent issues
The first one you listed is an ISO standard date format, and is the only way to go :)
if i write a date on paper i tend to go with 2, but yes
I always wonder why old memes are losing pixels and quality. Like an old paper shared over the years.
because they get downloaded from say reddit and then reuploaded again a year later or so which since most sites/services compress files uploaded they get worse and worse quality
It’s the modern version of the VHS or cassette tape.
yall trippin, it should be MMYYDD
Look at this moron. DY-MY-DM is the only logical date format.

1691579826This is some enigma date code shit… nearly broke my head trying to work out my birthday
Edit: fuck I see why my birthday wasn’t making sense now, you have the same digit of day and year
next gen American:
I’d have to say April 25th because it’s not too hot, not too cold. All you need is a light jacket.

Never visit Europe then.
In Sweden we tend to use iso, except sometimes on “Best before” dates. It’s always fun trying to figure out if your food is going bad by, for instance, the 10th of August or the 8th of October…
I don’t like it, but at least the numbers are ordered by specificity. MM/DD/YYYY is a big red flag.
Unix timestamp for me thanks.

Time did not exist before this date
To eliminate this confusion I propose the days of the month should start from 13.

Do we really even need months? They don’t even line up with the lunar cycle like they pretend to do.
Just give us Year/Day. On leap years we get an extra long New Year holiday.
@675 is the best!
Date aside, what’s going on with that " blank character " bullshit in the " question " ?
my best idea is a give my gf a white claw and she isn’t mean to me
This rarely works, btw
