The correct answer is YYYY/MM/DD
Discussion
As long as MM is not on the left I'm good.
the day of the month is of the highest importance whenever i ask for the date
otherwise it's like asking for the time right now, and getting an answer that starts with "july"
The correct answer is YYY/MM/DD
What are you using 4 whole digits for in the year? I love Digit but damn
You about to have another Y2K style issue in a thousand years 🤣
No way, / end up creating new directories in many computer systems when they're not given an escape character first.
ISO 8601 standard is YYYY-MM-DD
I strongly disagree. Why would you put the number you use the least in the first place?
Month and year change far less frequently, so why prioritize them over the day?
The day is what you use daily, so its proper position is at the beginning. DD/MM/YYYY is the only logical way to write dates.
It doesn't make sense but you are used to it. Just like imperial measure units. They doesn't make any sense but you all use it because you are used to it.
When filing by date they automatically show up in correct chronological order when it is year-month-date. Starting with day is chaos and confusion and all who deviate are bad and should be punished 😡
If someone asked for you today's date, would you say 2025, July 15th? Only if you are a robot.
Humans 'round here would say July 25th, 2025, so that is the correct way to write it. Written language is a proxy for human speech which predates it.
I say "MMXXV-VII-XV!!!!" as loudly as I can while pointing in a very human way
YYYY-MM-DD is the only date format I respect, every other date format is inferior
