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
DD.MM.YYYY is superior for everyday use
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 your dates you’re looking at are within a 90 day span, DD.MM.YYYY gives you the important information first, and you can often omit the YYYY entirely.
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.
Everything that doesn’t start with the month is fine for me. This shit is vile!
So YDYMDYMY it shall be!
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.
MM-DD-YYYY is best!
All aboard the downvote train!
YYYY-DDD
I prefer SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS because what can be more accurate and objective??
time_t ftw, see you in 2028.
