For me, it may be that the toilet paper roll needs to have the open end away from the wall. I don’t want to reach under the roll to take a piece! That’s ludicrous!
That or my recent addiction to correcting people when they use “less” when they should use “fewer”
YYYY/MM/DD
For me it’s YYYY-MM-DD https://www.iso.org/iso-8601-date-and-time-format.html
Also, there is a special place for those people who keep making up new timestamps
Plus slashes are more likely to be blocked by arbitrary character set validation, and fail. Dashes more clearly distinguish the segments and are more compatible
Spacing of the letter and fewer clutter is also very good with dashes.
I’ll be honest, while YMD is best, I’ll take anything that isn’t MDY.
MDY is just plain nuts, but has to be DMY for me, increasing length of time, left to right as that’s the direction of reading (plus what I was taught!).
I prefer MYYD/MYYD.
It’s the only way that makes sense to parse. Imagine if literally anything else worked with the minor amounts first.
This thing costs 25 cents and 3,000 dollars
The time is currently 45:9.
This program is v11.7.9 and the next release is v0.8.9
I don’t like “mixed number” format, like 1/4 and 648,3. I’d much rather say “five hundredths, two tenths, six ones, four tens, 8 hundreds and 3 thousand”
I guess a lot less recipes would get overseasoned though.
DD/YYYY-MM
Pure evil
YOLO!
Nah, that’d be the version of that without symbols, just straight digits.
Good for computers and spreadsheets, bad for people in mundane use.
Most of the time I know what year I’m dealing with so it goes in the back. Putting the day first doesn’t help until I know what month we mean, so the month goes first.
Nightmare for file names and stuff though.
I see you woke up and chose violence. Dueling pistols at dawn it is then
For me, it’s actually much better for file name sorting - and just about everything else. It numerically orders items in a logical manner allowing for batch processing of large sets of data using wildcards or regex, but I understand that it may not fit everyone’s usecase…which is why, it seems everyday, there’s someone introducing a new date format
