Our 14/7/21 doesn't look as good, 馃構 but I still think the day/month/year notation makes more sense. 馃槍
Why y'all making things complicated?? It's just July 14,2021 馃槶馃槶馃槶馃槀
@Classified Ik weet het niet ... mijn man heeft me niet op de hoogte gehouden sinds hij me vertelde dat er een probleem was dat hij eerder probeerde op te lossen. Ik verwacht pas morgen iets van hem te horen.

@Greyscale She told me I accidentally wrote 2012 instead of 2021. 馃構
@HootyTheNightOwl That does sound confusing. 馃槸

The format yyyy-mm-dd makes more sense

@Classified I mean, yeah in addition to it being more sortable this way, it's way less confusing.

The most significant number on the left side, and the smaller parts are on the right of it, just like we do with numbers.

Like, thousands, then hundreds, then tens, etc...

@SW-User I'm so down with this. And exactly like you said... not just because it's more sortable.
ClassifiedM
@SW-User That does make sense. We would just need to get used to it. 馃

Agreed... Most insignificant to the most significant
ClassifiedM
@ozgirl512 I like your style 馃槍

@Classified thank you kind sir 馃
ClassifiedM
@ozgirl512 No thank you 馃榿
if you deal with computers and things across many timezones enough, you'll come to appreciate setting everything to zulu time and using yyyymmdd.hhmmssms
ClassifiedM
@stound That setting is mostly used when you notate the date in character format, right? 馃
@Classified it's sorta short hand for the generic words, almost in unix format time spec. 4 ys to denote the full year (2021, 1982 instead of '21 or '81). I think I could probably dig out the full, correct spec with a little work...
root@hydra:~# date +%Y%m%d.%H%M%S

@stound That's a very precise time stamp
wackidywack22-25
i use the mm/dd/yy format cause it denotes the written format [i]month, day, year[/i]. i.e. July 14, 2021
ClassifiedM
@wackidywack But here we just say 14 July 2021 (though in a different language where that is common).
wackidywack22-25
@Classified indeed 馃き

@wackidywack 馃槸
[c=359E00]yes, makes more sense[/c]

DunningKruger61-69, M
I prefer YYMMDD, myself, or yyyy-mm-dd.
ClassifiedM
@DunningKruger There are more people who prefer that 馃
