YYYY-MM-DD is the only way.

ISO-8601 FTW

[–] EmpathicVagrant@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago (1 children)

ELI5 ISO-8601

Best way to write the date. Year then month then day using numbers. Allows for easy sorting in computer for people and also no gets confused like they do in other systems. It's an international standard handled by the ISO group

[–] bountygiver@lemmy.ml 2 points 4 months ago

it also just make sense, we already put the more significant number on the left side when writing numbers anyways. MM/dd/YYYY is more like writing one hundred and twenty three as 231

I've grown accustomed to dates in this format, because of software engineering. Yesterday I had to write out MM/DD/YY on some paperwork, and it broke my brain for a good 30s trying to remember the format.

Oh I fully agree but I wouldn't let it get in the way of a decent meme

I'd love to share a fifth with May!

[–] ummthatguy@lemmy.world 10 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Just don't invite Clarkson.

[–] negativenull@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago (1 children)

May and Hammond maybe, but not Clarkson

[–] Obi@sopuli.xyz 1 points 4 months ago

I would definitely have fun spending an evening with him, in the same way it'd be fun watching a giant dumpster fire or some kind of natural disaster.

dd/mm/yyyy is broke
yyyy-mm-dd is B E S P O K E

DD Mon YYYY for human readability, YYYY-MM-DD for computer readability.

[–] Draegur@lemm.ee 0 points 4 months ago

DD-MM-YYYY itches me wrong the same way as when people tell me their phone number with seven digits AND THEN give me the area code as if I still ONLY have a landline that I ONLY use to place local calls e_e

[–] cdf12345@lemm.ee 4 points 4 months ago (1 children)

It’s the forth tho. What am I supposed to do with the extra 5% of May?

[–] cosmicrookie@lemmy.world 5 points 4 months ago

Welcome to the future! We've been expecting you

[–] xlash123@sh.itjust.works 2 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Alright, I'll admit. Who is May?

[–] GeneralVincent@lemmy.world 5 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

Sir Brian Harold May CBE (born 19 July 1947) is an English musician, songwriter, record producer, animal rights activist and astrophysicist. He achieved worldwide fame as the lead guitarist and backing vocalist of the rock band Queen, which he co-founded with singer Freddie Mercury and drummer Roger Taylor. -Wikipedia

ETA: so a legend basically :D

[–] sag@lemm.ee 2 points 4 months ago

Cinco de mayo?

[–] lol_idk@lemmy.ml 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Does this represent 1/5 of May by weight, volume, image area, or just a linear 1/5 of the height of the image?

[–] UckyBon@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

A fifth of his skills.
