America officially switched to the metric system decades ago. We just don’t use it on a daily basis, but officially the US is metric.
In 1988 Congress passed the Omnibus Trade and Competitiveness Act, which made the metric system the preferred system of weights and measures for U.S. trade and commerce.
In 1991 President Bush issued Executive Order 12770, which mandated the transition to metric measurement for all federal agencies.

Bullshit. ISO 8601 IS THE SUPERIOR DATE STANDARD
Tomorrow is 2024-08-30. DEAL WITH IT.

Hilariously, Star treks “stardates” are not uniform. The format shifts season to season and show to show.

Metric is about measurements, not formatting. The date measurement is in days, months, and years for both ISO 8601 and what’s shown.

This is the ideal file date format for sure.

I always prefer it without the dashes. And just add on HHMMSS while we’re at it!
