ELI5 ISO-8601

Best way to write the date. Year then month then day using numbers. Allows for easy sorting in computer for people and also no gets confused like they do in other systems. It's an international standard handled by the ISO group

[–] bountygiver@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago

it also just make sense, we already put the more significant number on the left side when writing numbers anyways. MM/dd/YYYY is more like writing one hundred and twenty three as 231

I've grown accustomed to dates in this format, because of software engineering. Yesterday I had to write out MM/DD/YY on some paperwork, and it broke my brain for a good 30s trying to remember the format.

Oh I fully agree but I wouldn't let it get in the way of a decent meme

I'd love to share a fifth with May!

[–] ummthatguy@lemmy.world 10 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Just don't invite Clarkson.

[–] negativenull@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

May and Hammond maybe, but not Clarkson

I would definitely have fun spending an evening with him, in the same way it'd be fun watching a giant dumpster fire or some kind of natural disaster.

dd/mm/yyyy is broke
yyyy-mm-dd is B E S P O K E

DD Mon YYYY for human readability, YYYY-MM-DD for computer readability.

[–] Draegur@lemm.ee 0 points 2 years ago

DD-MM-YYYY itches me wrong the same way as when people tell me their phone number with seven digits AND THEN give me the area code as if I still ONLY have a landline that I ONLY use to place local calls e_e

It’s the forth tho. What am I supposed to do with the extra 5% of May?

[–] cosmicrookie@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

Welcome to the future! We've been expecting you

[–] xlash123@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Alright, I'll admit. Who is May?
