  • Calendars are literally organized by month then date, with the year rarely coming up in daily conversation so it's relegated to the back, with the century/millenia only coming up in historical context

    Calendars are organized by month first because they're meant for looking at big blocks of time, not for verbally communicating specific dates.   Just because it's easier to see 'January' in

  • It's unnatural, an abomination. It has to be year-month-day or vice versa, not the shuffled month-day-year mess   Imagine if the time format was mm:ss:HH

no who gives a **** :toofunny2:

Considering calendars are how we keep track of dates, the nomenclature for specific days being derived from the way calendars are organized makes perfect sense.

 

The "debate" over unimportant garbage like this is just an excuse for weirdos with hate-boners for the US to yap. There's global imperialism to worry about stfu about calendars you don't care as much as you're pretending to.:suburban:

boop :clap3:

It makes perfect sense to use this format actually lol.

 

There's a reason we don't display the minutes before the hour on a clock. Same concept.

Yes, very much so, makes no sense, it should always go from smallest unit of time to largest :coffee2:

Ugh, yes, that bothers me a lot now that I think about it. Let me write a hate post on X to start a chain of events that will inevitably get it canceled forever. We suffered enough.

They’re all equally as functional as the others. It’s not a big deal. The only time it matters if when you want files sorted alphabetically to also be sorted by date, in which case you’d use YYYY-MM-DD. Outside of that one use case, they’re all fine. Level up and adapt. :coffee2: 

Yes, the ascendent order will always be the best. It makes no sense to put the month first

I love alpha-numeric i.e. Jan 01, 2025

 

:celestial5:Less confusing for everyone

NO

January 14 2025 sounds so much better than the 14th of January 2025

The second one is actually disgusting. :shutup:

Every time I'm in the US doormen congratulating me on my birthday 6 months after the fact is always a laugh 

Yes. It's a nightmare when you have to work with data and different sources have different date format; make your job like 100x more complicated

i like it bc it's limiting the calendar. like starting with "january" limits me to 1/12 of the year, whereas starting with "6th" (idk why i picked jan 6 :rip:) could be at any time of year. it makes sense to me but idk maybe it's drugs

Yeah, I hate it.

You know english is not the only language in the world, right? :rip: in Spanish it's literally "8 de julio de 2025"
