Their argument was about the optimal date format to use.

[–] ne0phyte@feddit.org 41 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

What's there to discuss about ISO 8601?

[–] Bahnd@lemmy.world 10 points 6 hours ago

WHOOO!!! ISO-8601 FAN CLUB!!! [runs around the room cheering like a lunatic]

[–] TigerAce@lemmy.dbzer0.com 28 points 14 hours ago* (last edited 14 hours ago) (2 children)

Easy. YYYY-MM-DD Z-HH:MM(:SS)

Anything else in inferior.

[–] ComfortableRaspberry@feddit.org 8 points 14 hours ago (2 children)

Everything that doesn't start with the month is fine for me. This shit is vile!

[–] myotheraccount@lemmy.world 19 points 11 hours ago

So YDYMDYMY it shall be!

[–] sniggleboots@europe.pub 8 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

YYYY-DD-MM? Don't be ridiculous!

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

[–] kameecoding@lemmy.world 5 points 9 hours ago

As a Hungarian I have to say that YYYY.MM.DD. Is clearly fucking superior.

[–] AbsolutePain@lemmy.world 6 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] mirshafie@europe.pub 4 points 8 hours ago* (last edited 8 hours ago) (1 children)

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.

[–] uniquethrowagay@feddit.org 4 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

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.

[–] village604@adultswim.fan 2 points 3 hours ago

Must be a regional thing, because around here it's MM-DD-YYYY spoken.

[–] TigerAce@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 points 13 hours ago

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
