How in the world does it make sense to start with the middle unit, move to the small, then the big? You start at one end and move to the other, either D/M/Y or Y/M/D. Set aside your gut reaction because that's what you grew up with and it's pretty obvious.

what makes it the middle unit

[–] AwesomeLowlander@sh.itjust.works 3 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

You can't figure out how month is the middle unit of precision between year and day?

you say that like its not arbituary. if i say "it happened on january" you know already roughly when this takes place. if i say "it happened on the 7th" okay 7th what? what are you saying?

[–] AwesomeLowlander@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

The information is implicit in every case, that it happened on the most recent instance of that date.

It's 11/7/26 today.

7th? Happened 4 days ago. January? Happened 6 months ago. 90s? Happened 30 years ago.

You're being intentionally obtuse. Nobody is claiming confusion. (It's also somewhat moving the goalposts, but we'll ignore that). Unless it's a written article, in which case the month will be outdated in a year anyway, and it's bad practice to not specify the full date.

you say that like its not arbituary.

How is going from small -> big or big -> small somehow more arbitrary than starting in the middle of that scale?

[–] BigBananaDealer@lemmy.world -1 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

its not the middle, ive already clarified that

[–] AwesomeLowlander@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 hour ago

What scale are you using that the month isn't on between the day and the year?
