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

mmm?

Jan,Feb,Mar etc.

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

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

newIdentity , 10 months ago

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

Unix timestamp for me thanks.

kool_newt , 10 months ago

I only understand time in reference to Jan 1, 1970.

renlok , 10 months ago

Time did not exist before this date

nevial , 10 months ago

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

my best idea is a give my gf a white claw and she isn't mean to me

This rarely works, btw

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.

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 , 10 months ago (edited 10 months ago)

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

08AUG2023 is about as unambiguous as it gets.

pjhenry1216 , 10 months ago

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.

Personally I prefer TWENTYTWO–ELEVEN–TWOTHOUSANDTWENTYTHREE–ELEVEN:FIFTYSIX–ANTEMERIDIAN

01JAN23 is the only sensible way.

Fluffy56 , 10 months ago

MM/DD/YY Anything else is wrong
