Nothing beats ISO 8601, YYYY-MM-DD
Memes
Rules:
- Be civil and nice.
- Try not to excessively repost, as a rule of thumb, wait at least 2 months to do it if you have to.
RFC 3339! ISO 8601 has way too many weird formats that are allowed like today would be 2023-W41-2. See for example here.
I feel offended - W%W-%w is my preferred way of noting down dates :D
Great, now I need to memorize "RFC 3339", because I officially have a new favorite date format. Thank you!
Fortunately this one is easy:
three threes equals 9 3339
Whoa, that's a cool website!
It’s really pleasing seeing the seconds all change in unison!
This is the way.
The most logical format, especially for digital files.
This is the way.
Put the most significant digits first. Always.
100%
- alphabetical order = chronological order
- unambiguous regardless of locale
- easy to read/parse by either machine or human
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
10/10 plan
10 percent of the time it works 10 percent.
Let me guess, instead of asking out another girl on 11/11/11 he played Skyrim?
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.
i'll say it time and time again:
This format is shit and makes no sense
No no, he got married in the 14th month of the year which doesn't exist, so there wouldn't ever be an anniversary
I unironically asked myself what happened in February of 2014 at first lmao
Too late, it's 11/10/2023 in au now
How are you in november already?!?!? ^/s
Nobody woke him when September ended.
New Zealand: It's the fucking eleventh!
gotta love seeing everyone else celebrating something about the date that we are already done with
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!
I would object on general principles, but....
Well...
It ain't wrong lol.
Damn it! I am one day late.
Indonesian here, it's October 11th here.
10 out of 10 out of 23 are like 100%
Not just Americans https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Date_format_by_country
But pretty much just Americans
Also looks better if you interpret it as a score than, say, a 9/11.
What happened on the 9th of November?
Unix people today : "NICE NICE"
Unix people today from 20:28:10 to 20:28:20 GMT : "NICE NICE NICE NICE"
Late, but 10/10 is my birthday - since I was born in Europe, raised in the US and now live in the UK, I've never had a problem writing my birthday correctly!
