Easy. YYYY-MM-DD Z-HH:MM(:SS)
Anything else in inferior.
Everything that doesn't start with the month is fine for me. This shit is vile!
So YDYMDYMY it shall be!
YYYY-DD-MM? Don't be ridiculous!
Well it doesnt start with M
MYYYY-DD-M
What's Z ?
Z stands for Zulu timezone, also known as UTC. It can be another zone as well, as long as it's noted. This way anyone can calculate it to their own time zone. The Zulu is a military notation, but it's simple imo. Alfa is UTC+1, Yankee is UTC-1 etc. But UTC also works. I just hate naming timezones because then you need to look up what name is how much away from you. Just use the simple military letters or international UTC.
Here you can see all the zone namings including the military one.
As you can see, PYT for example can be Pyongyang time UTC+8:30 or Paraguay time UTC-3. It's such a mess. The only notation which is clear to all is UTC and the military notation is just shorter.
This is only true when dealing with huge amounts electronic data, for easy sorting and such. DD.MM.YYYY is superior for everyday use. Don't even try to change my mind
True. But I found that out after importing loads of photos from my old phone where I stored everything DDMMYYYY. Shit was all fucked up (winXP times). I'm used to DD-MM-YY on a daily basis, which is totally fine. Just don't name your files like that xD
Please elaborate. Can't see how this could be true in any situation but I'm willing to hear you out xd
If most of the dates you're looking at are within a reasonably narrow span (say 90 days), DD.MM.YYYY gives you the important information first, and you can often omit the YYYY entirely.
Exactly. It's also spoken in that order for that reason. At least in the languages I know. If I ask you for the date and you start with 2026, I'll be a litte confused.
Must be a regional thing, because around here it's MM-DD-YYYY spoken.
I think it's "May 15" in spoken English? It would be "15th May" in Swedish and Farsi for instance.
Therefore: Swedish, Farsi > English
Some people do use "15th of May" in English, but it's not as common around here.
Ok I'll give it to yall, MM-DD-YYYY can be good in some situations. DD-MM-YYYY is still sus tho.
As a Hungarian I have to say that YYYY.MM.DD. Is clearly fucking superior.
As an American I mostly use MM-DD-YY, but I occasionally use YYYY.MM.DD if I want to sort.
