To eliminate this confusion I propose the days of the month should start from 13.

jimmux ,

Do we really even need months? They don’t even line up with the lunar cycle like they pretend to do.

Just give us Year/Day. On leap years we get an extra long New Year holiday.

I say we force them to be alphabetical.

Zozano ,

Look at this moron. DY-MY-DM is the only logical date format.

Selmafudd ,

This is some enigma date code shit… nearly broke my head trying to work out my birthday

Edit: fuck I see why my birthday wasn’t making sense now, you have the same digit of day and year

I’d have to say April 25th because it’s not too hot, not too cold. All you need is a light jacket.

Date aside, what’s going on with that " blank character " bullshit in the " question " ?

Klystron ,

Easiest is dd/mmm/yyyy. Use it for literally everything. Doesn’t work great on the computer but well enough.

OrangeXarot ,

mmm?

IWantToFuckSpez ,

Jan,Feb,Mar etc.

essteeyou ,

I think they either made a typo, or they meant like “Jan” “Feb” “Mar” etc.

Selmafudd ,

08.008.2028

johnthedoe ,

Covid year was about 120 months long instead of 12 so yea

newIdentity ,

It’s the standatized way to write the months in three letters. So Jan, Feb etc…

CIWS-30 ,

Going day to day, dd/mm/yyyy works, but for archival purposes and looking up stuff in the past, mm/dd/yyyy works better, imo. Like when you need to go through a physical file cabinet, or an electronic database.

Or you're the type of person who's zoned out all the time and don't even know what month it is until you look at a clock or calendar.

png ,

I just dont see why the hell you would switch? dd/mm works fibe in all situations and has some advantages sometimes, while mm/dd is fine sometimes, but generally worse or equal.

vrighter , (edited )

for archival purposes yyyymmdd is best. that way you can just sort lexicographically and it’ll also be sorted chronologically

tropicflite ,

08AUG2023 is about as unambiguous as it gets.

pjhenry1216 ,

Except it doesn't sort well in any fashion and it requires two different types of contexts to interpret. It's easier to screw up the order of a month by name than it is to screw up the order of a number. Not saying we should play to least common denominator, but we should be making it as easy as possible. I'd prefer sorting speed over needing to learn how to interpret the date correctly if every single date is stored the same way.

delvan ,

I like DDMMYY but for some reason when I include the time as ss:mm:hh nobody shows up to the event on time.
