Might as well roll the dice for order every time a user loads the page.
We definitely need a “bad UI battles” community here.
It already exists
I’m so glad you guys remember that sub. I miss the silly things you guys made.
DONT SPEAK TO MY OR MY ISO 8601 EVER AGAIN! 🤬🤧😢
I hope you mean RFC 3339 instead of that non-authoritative ISO crap 😤
You mean the standard defined by The Internet Engineering Task Force? Of course I do! The ISO name is just more popular.

I am going to cry.
Love the smell of a good standards body fight in the morning (0900 GMT+0).
You mean 1694768400 in Unix timestamp?
Ah! A Raccoon and/or Vegetable of culture! I tip my fedora to you and your one true time representation and storage system.

Me whenever someone uses a decimal point instead of comma
At least it’s not a phone number entry via slider.😤
It’s the 21st of 1946, June.
Nah, worst is palindrome interpolated ymdyydmy

And the days go 1,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,2,21,23 …
What happens to 22?
The team did a test and found that not enough people who were born on the 22nd bought anything and UX wanted to make the list shorter, so it got removed.
Those people are subhuman and don’t belong with the rest of us. They get a tickbox that says “Select if you were born on the 22nd of the month.” All the tickbox does is send SWAT to the address you entered
DDMMYYYY💪🗓🏆
Y/D/Y/M/Y/M/Y/D
DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD 😻❤️
it’s the number of days since the asteroid blasted the dinosaurs, conveniently in 32 decimal digits
At this point, just go full bananas and use SEP-2023/15

nope, we use the format that matches the words spoken so Friday September 15th, 2023 would be Fri 9/15/2023 sometimes the year is shortened
take into account that your “words spoken” isn’t necessarily how other say it. For me, saying 15th of july of 2023 sounds way more natural in english.
I wonder if they have a special rule to use dd/mm/yyyy on the 4th of July.
Nope, it’s “July 4th” or “the 4th of July” though and they’re weirdly interchangeable

Turns out people in different countries and regions say the date differently as well. I find it funny how everyone always assumes their experience is the universal one.
September Fifteenth and Fifteenth of September are both commonly used depending where you are in the world.
they are not in a random order they are in the same order as when spoken in proper American english
and yes normal people do say September fifteenth none of this fifteen September British nonsense
Literally nobody in Britain says ‘fifteen September’…
When is independence day?
us independence day is on July 4th, don’t really see how this is relevant to the conversation?
MMYYYYDD
YYYY MM DD
That’s actually the best
no, the best is YYYY-MM-DD
That’s what I use but the dashes aren’t the most important part
Its the same
Hyphens matter. Standards matter. ISO8601 4 lyfe.
YYYY MM DD is better for directories.
Mine is worse

We must know: how many digits is the year? And when they’re displayed later, do they use slashes or hyphens? I want to really breathe in the awful.
- 1970-1999 - 4 digits.
- 2000+ - 2 digits.
- No separators
People argue about 2 and 4 digits years. Make it 3 and everyone is annoyed.
023-16-09
Thank you, Satan
The year is 4 digits. This is just an age confirmation dialog asking for your birthday on a sketchy website, so I’m pretty sure the date won’t be displayed later.

Well its the fluent variant. In the Year YYYY on the DD(st/nd/th) Day of MMMM
