    What heathen uses yyyy/dd/mm??? As far as I know, americans use mm/dd/yyyy (which is just another unhinged date format, but not as much as yyyy/dd/mm)

    In this house we either use yyyy/mm/dd or dd/mm/yyyy.

        I would use it more often if it was the standard, but unfortjnately I’m stuck with dd/mm/yyyy… for now

          I’m not stuck with anything anymore since I just got fired during a fucking work trip. They made me buy my flight home, and book a 300 km Uber trip.

            That sounds illegal. If you’re in the US look into detrimental reliance and promissory estoppel.

              I’ll tack those onto the wrongful termination case on which I’ve got them dead to rights. Promissory estoppel is sadly not a thing in most of the US, though, as far as I’m aware.

      I use yyyy-mm-dd as it allows me to alphabetically sort it and still get it in proper order

        Exactly! I’m European so I’m kinda stuck with dd/mm/yyyy already, but even then it’s better than mm/dd/yyyy because it still has an order, even if inverse

      Y/m/d sucks honestly. It’s the opposite order of what you want. Day is most critical, then month, then year. That’s the order it should be in. Everything else is different levels of bad.

        Nah, YYYY/MM/DD lets you sort by year, momth and day easily. Specially with digital registers. I stopped using dd/mm/yyyy for personal files when they started mixing the ones of different months but the same day.

        Ever archived hand written documents and got furries because no one writes the year on them? Once you have documents that are relevant for a longer period, you see how uncritical the day can be
