The only acceptable answer is the ISO 8601 standard: YYYY-MM-DD

Get you a girl that can do this.

Unix Timestamp

1696844360

This is the correct way to communicate time.

My birth date is negative, and 2200 is an overflow 🥴

Metal.🤘🏼

I thought 2038 was the overflow?

For unsigned, yes. Was gonna make sure to cover the signed case, too, which should be another ~68 years later.

2013 0227 💯

I'm used to DD.MM.YYYY due to my country settings but I agree the ISO one make much more sense, you start with the larger time metric, the year and end with the more precise one, days or minutes or seconds...

Also the dot will (like here) make software think it's a link or a file extension and forward slash mess up with directories.

However I do name my files as YYYYMMDD to save 2 more characters and still have them by date order even when ordered by file name. I admit that it might be confusion for other when I work in shared workspaces.

Honestly the only thing that ever made sense. But for some reason we can’t have nice things.
