YYYY-MM-DD in Hungary too, that us shit is totally non logical, i cant get used to it
Fuckin wait until you hear how many feet are in a mile. You all should’ve waterboarded us harder while we were a young country.

This is literally the most logical method to name a date in text.
In what text?
In French we say “14 juillet 1789”
We don’t even say “nth day of”
In a text like “the research started at 2003-01-24”, or pretty much in any other text where you need to convey all 3 elements.
I bet you also don’t say “14 07 1789”, because that’s what MM format means.
You bet wrong
We write AND say “La Révolution a démarré le 14/07/1789” or “La Révolution à démarré le 14 juillet 1789”
Spoken numbered month are usually used in an administrative context, to ease the work of our contact.
Oh that’s right, the spoken administrative context. Same in my dd-mm-yyyy county actually. Still, I find it less intuitive than the logical yyyy-mm-dd when understanding written text.
We do that in Sweden as well. Our social security numbers are that plus 4 unique numbers. The beers I send out to stores have yyyy-mm-dd printed at the bottom.
So no more than 10 thousands of Swedes may get an SSN at the same day (or be born at the same day even 🤔)?
Hasn’t been a problem so far. I’m guessing maybe they will add numbers or use letters if it comes up. They recentled started doing that on license plates.
It’s very easy to sort by this format, makes perfect sense.
Easier to sort by YYYY-MM-DD than MM-DD-YYYY tho
Dammit, I misread here. Of course, the US format is terrible.
Japan isn’t on its own wavelength, most of East Asian does this, probably because they all decided they wanted to be like China: which was a government which governed more. https://youtu.be/Mh5LY4Mz15o?t=1m7s

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.
I’m open-source; check me out at GitHub.
Pretty f’d up we can’t all even agree on this. Between this and DST, humanity is just pretty hopeless.
Its the same for all East Asian countries as well, but I guess slapping
JAPANon it means fast upvotes, like that"Place, Japan"meme.I can’t speak for everyone but I see something Japanese then I upvote it, doesn’t matter what it is.
Sushi, Bullet train, Bonsai, Anime, Bukkake, Haiku
It is arguably the best way to name large sets of indexed files on a filesystem.
I think that the best argument is that it makes sense when combined with hours minutes and seconds.
yyyy/MM/dd hh:mm:ss
Goes from large to small units.
It sorts
Japan’s way, you mean?
Files already have computer readable dates that can be used to sort and organize them
In certain instances that may not always be available.
One example I can think of is when browsing on a NAS.
Hey… it sorts properly alphabetically
*ASCIIbetically. The alphabet doesn’t know digits.
Only within the same century, which is an issue for those of us born last millennium (or managing systems from that time), and could be a real problem in 50-ish years when we could get the first duplicates.
Better to stick with YYYY-MM-DD for alphabetical sorting
TBH, Japanese format makes sense when you use it to name files/directories, as sorting by “name” is equivalenti to sorting by “last modified”.
Until you need to work across centuries. Then it’s eating paste level.
equivalenti
Love typos that force me to read comments with an Italian accent
Free upvotes for both of you
I’m actually italian, lol, but that was a genuine typo.
Canada does that
YYYY-MM-DD for everything digital, DD-MM-YYYY for everything IRL.
YY/MM/DD SUPREMACY
Japan wins this one.
2023年12月22日
令和5年12月22日
令和五年十二月二十二日
I like that this includes 2 of the 4 numbers that i can understand from japanese (chinese numerals?)
Funny that only in full Chinese (or Japanese, since 令和 represents a new emperor era in Japan?) I noticed the month is December.
It’s 22nd of November, folks
yeah i realised after, I guess some people are just really excited about Christmas

What about YY/DD/MM?
Oh fuck off. ;)
If that one doesn’t tickle you, we do have more options to explore like MM/YY/DD or DD/YY/MM
Hell, we even have options like MDY/MDY
DD/YY/MM is the devil incarnate
I’ll fuck of when it’s 2024/22/11.
Hey. If you use your format, then you won’t be able to celebrate the new year on 123123, 233112 just doesn’t have the same ring to it
Taste nippon formatting, gaigin
The fuck is a gaigin, gaikokujin?
They were obviously referring to foreign banks, duh.
YYYY-MM-DD should be the main everywhere.
It is in Lithuania
