discussion Japan has the most logical date format. Agreed?

[Revolution]

 

 

[Beyonceist]

No, Europe does /endthread

[Illuminati]

Pretty sure Europe uses both the first and the third one and America is as usual the one standing out with their weird system

The USB-C continent truly did that 

[Taylena]

It's the same in South Korea. I don't think that format is exclusive to Japan. 

[Siberian Tiger]

Absolutely not, it's only good for sorting but not for understanding. Europe >>>

[DoubleRainbow!]

Why would you prioritize the year or the month?

Day first >>>>>

 

 

LATAM uses that format too

[Domination]

That format is like the universal standard lmao. Like all computing is done with dates in that format.

[Jotham]

Tbh I always preferred "month first" because when you say the date in English you usually start with the month first anyway. If you're talking with someone you're more likely to say "It's October 28" instead of "It's the 28th of October."

[cockatoo]

It literally makes the most sense for the day to be first

Yeah that's an American thing to say the date like that when speaking. British people would almost always say "it's the 28th of October".

[RussianRoulette]

That one person that voted america

[Cruel Summer]

Yes, they do, and by a wide margin. Starting with the largest necessary unit of time and working down to the smallest is both logically intuitive and great for sorting. If you do any work with file names and folder names, you know how much better it is.

[Cloudy]

The only one that makes sense is the european one. I mean when you ask the date the first thing you want to know it's well the day you're on not the month...certainly not the year that's for sure...

[popmusicisdead]

Yes.

they do the same with addresses. which somehow makes everything less confusing 

[LadyDiana]

The old continent stays unbothered... collonies could never...

nope 

 

 

other countries say it as they write it too 

[illia]

I'm glad we all agree the American format is the worst one

[tili33]

how many times you wonder what year or month it is...? not very often, right? you ask yourself what DAY it is!!!! EUROPE is the better system.

[Frozen99]

why'd you start with a year  if you're sorting some files etc it's def more organized by year but in daily speaking day > month > year obviously

When someone asks for your birthday or the date of some historical event, the year is the most important detail followed by the month and then day 

[bliaz]

No, the European is better. In Latin America we use the same 

[Rith]

what? europe uses "28.10.2022" not "2022.10.28" no?

but those are specific questions, when someone asks you, they obviously know what year, and usual the month, it is. the most important is obviously the day

[UnusualBoy]

No, day-month-year is better,
