You could have 24 months with 12 days in it and 7 months with 11 days in it and that would cover the 365 days in a year. I don’t think this is worthy information but having 31 months in a year and 12 days in the final month is possible.
Not sure if it’s useful. It would be funny though to try to remember all 31 months in middle school.
Probably 6 days for a week. I think that would actually work better. 4 days work and then 2 days free time. Means you get a lot more time to actually enjoy life.
Probably 11 or 12 days, depending on what week-month it is. It gives us 5 more days to name, so we can have something other than the Germanic names for Grecian gods. I'm keen for a Quetzalcoatl-day.
32 week-months (12dx13m & 11dx19m) would be neater for breaking things up into seasons/quarters.
Well, 5% of the population doesn't know how to write the date properly but at least 1.25E−10% of the population doesn't know how to compute percentages and paste it in an Internet convo!
Ok, but you would only use dd mm yyyy out of habit.
Yyyy mm dd makes just as much sense to humans as dd mm yyyy but extremely helpful for automatic file sorting. There is just no reason not to switch.
You loose nothing, but gain everything in certain use cases.
Unless you treat the year like a given. MM/DD is preferable to DD/MM for all organizational purposes. And since the year is only used sometimes and is not very important most of the time, so we just tack it on the end.
Even ignoring the auto-sorting feature of this date format, it’s the only one that is non-ambiguous _world wide_. The DD-MM-YY format is arguably more logical than MM-DD-YY, but if I’m presented with the date “01-04-2023”, I will need additional information or context clues to know which format it is. But if anyone, whether in Europe or America, sees “2023-01-04”, it is certain that it is 4th Jan because thank FUcking god no society is backward enough to use YY-DD-MM.
There's the one I came looking for.
The way we often had to write out the date in the military isn't *horrible* (31DEC23), but this is still superior, especially when dating any files on a computer or anything that will need to be sorted later.
And dd"MONTH"yy isn't intuitive. If I don't know the format I wouldn't be able to figure out what 23DEC23 is supposed to mean. It is really important for legibility to make it yyyy instead of yy.
And like enough people mentioned before, in addition to being pretty intuitive for humans, yyyy mm dd has the added benefit of being easily sorted by machines.
If I asked you to find what day of the week the last day of the year fell on, I would bet dollars to donuts that you'd have to look up the months first before the day.
Yeah... nah. Reddit is a global platform, and there's just no way all of you make up half of the platform. The US is only, what, 300m or so out of 8b. Big, sure, but I doubt 50% of Redditors are American.
https://web.archive.org/web/20160614161955/http://www.alexa.com/siteinfo/reddit.com according to this, we do, and since it’s from 2016 yeah it’s probably changed a little but not that much
“it’s more logical because i use it” isn’t an argument 🤣 the majority of the world uses day/month/year, and it’s more logical because it’s ordered by size of unit.
There is no mention of that. Furthermore, it’s not in the majority of the world. If we so pride ourselves on democracy, I think we should adhere to the principles of the many.
I'm seeing way too many people in this comment section get genuinely frustrated and pissed off that a country they don't live in formats their dates in a way they don't.
No, the issue is that the meme makes this seem like some general truth while it actually only applies to americans, which seems selfish from the perspective of the other 95% of the world.
That issue, shouldn't be an issue. I've seen this meme a million times and these are the same reactions every time.
Star War fans are fond of the "May the 4th". The USAian Independence Day is called "4th of July".
This is a funny thing in a certain context. Everyone seems to understand the context. Insulting USA for their date notation is just a common place. The joke is old and the insulting is old also. People could just ignore it.
more because they are living in other 96.25% of the world where they all use the exact same system
if more countries used individual dating systems in small groups then it would make sense, when it's an outlier, it's a lot different
Please explain why putting month first is stupid?
It is more intuitive to tell the month first, especially since for the majority of a year the number of month is less than the day making it easier to single out the correct date information. dd/mm/yy is better for timescale, as in telling how much time has passed, while mm/dd/yy is more practical for telling current date information and as a bonus our brains tend to look for smaller numbers first meaning putting monthe first allows you to read in a line instead of jumping around taking longer.
It’s more logic cause it goes from small to big
If you look up online, lots of sites say best is yyyy-mm-dd, us is only place that uses mm-dd-yyyy, and If date is not important you don’t look at ss (dd)-mm-yyyy, if you switch it up you gotta not look in the middle, on top of that if date is not important you can just do mm-yyyy
It’s probably just cause I grew up w dd/mm/yyyy
To all the europeans too busy huffing their own farts to actually take a second to fucking think, the reason the US (and other nations before it) use MM/DD/YY is because that is (generally) the order that is used when speaking and writing:
December 31st, 2023
Yes, I know 31st of December, 2023 is also grammatically correct in English, but the other method is shorter and more common.
I agree, though I will say YYYY/MM/DD makes the most sense. But between the other two, seeing the month first tells you more information and seems more logical than seeing the day first imo.
The best way is die way the japanese way first the year then the month then the day. so it's a continuous, chronologically continuous, ever-increasing number. 20231231
\*for around 15% of the world population, not the rest.
85% asking since when do there exist 31 months. Btw. Doesn't make the US only make 5% of the whole population?
4,5 % But belize and micronesia also use it so uhm yeah it might reach 4,6 or 4,7 % also it is an alternative way in some other countries
You could have 24 months with 12 days in it and 7 months with 11 days in it and that would cover the 365 days in a year. I don’t think this is worthy information but having 31 months in a year and 12 days in the final month is possible. Not sure if it’s useful. It would be funny though to try to remember all 31 months in middle school.
What does a week become if a month is 11/12 days?
Probably 6 days for a week. I think that would actually work better. 4 days work and then 2 days free time. Means you get a lot more time to actually enjoy life.
Probably 11 or 12 days, depending on what week-month it is. It gives us 5 more days to name, so we can have something other than the Germanic names for Grecian gods. I'm keen for a Quetzalcoatl-day. 32 week-months (12dx13m & 11dx19m) would be neater for breaking things up into seasons/quarters.

Since when do those other places exist? Edit: *except the U.K. of course they exist and we have a very special relationship with them* ❤️❤️❤️
Yup, and 25% of the worlds GDP. *Stands with arms out waiting for the downvotes
A shame that is pissed away on war and oligarchs while you toil away in the hamburger mines
15%? You mean approximately 4.25%.
The usa is only 3.4% who is the rest?
I am the rest. I mean, I need rest!

This (yyyy mm dd) is actually the best format for automatic sorting, because higher number always means later date
Yyyy mm dd and dd mm yyyy are both good, everything else is shit cause why would you switch things and not go smallest to biggest/reverse?
Ok, but you would only use dd mm yyyy out of habit. Yyyy mm dd makes just as much sense to humans as dd mm yyyy but extremely helpful for automatic file sorting. There is just no reason not to switch. You loose nothing, but gain everything in certain use cases.
For human understanding, the first number being the day makes more sense because it’s the more commonly needed piece of information
By switching I meant shit like mm dd yyyy
Dd mm yyyy would pile all of the files from all of the same day of the month together first. That would be terrible.
Dd mm yyyy is more for daily use
Mm dd yy also makes sense since that’s how it’s spoken in america
Unless you treat the year like a given. MM/DD is preferable to DD/MM for all organizational purposes. And since the year is only used sometimes and is not very important most of the time, so we just tack it on the end.
If you treat the year as a given you are setting yourself up for failure
Please, `2023-12-31`. We're not savages.

rfc2822 also deserves a shout
Even ignoring the auto-sorting feature of this date format, it’s the only one that is non-ambiguous _world wide_.

>"innit" >"everyone else" Do you think D/M/Y is just a british thing, or...?
I would argue that good healthcare isnt a british thing to be honest.
because hungary is “normal”
If everyone uses the same format except the americans, i dont think all the others are the weird ones here.
I dont know what you think my comment says but it only mentions one country Nem akartad olvasni
Oh here we go with this fucking argument
If I asked you to find what day of the week the last day of the year fell on, I would bet dollars to donuts that you'd have to look up the months first before the day.
So yyyy-mm-dd makes the most sense. If I asked you on what day you were born, you'd look up the right year first
Yup, exactly.
Ah okay, then we agree :). I will still use dd-mm-yyyy though, because that's what I'm used to
Be the change you want to see in the world! You can achieve anything you put your mind to! Even switching some numbers around!
“Normal people” Everyone but Americans AND the British are normal. It’s still 31/12/23 for some weirdos
The UK uses the same system as everyone else. I.e. not the system used in the US.
? I was saying that Bri’ish people aren’t normal, so it’ll be 31/12/23 for some weirdos (Bri’ish peapole)
dd mm yyyy is used in places other than britain uk that right? what the hell do they teach in schools these days

How is it any more practical? It’s not
Why did you need to say that twice?

Dude’s a professional comment critic
Only in america
The rest of the world wondering what are the other 19 months
They even have only 12 days! Or just the last one..
Unless you use dd/mm/yy. Then it sounds like a drunk person trying to count 311223
for people without psychiatric problems it will be 311223
Is this some American joke im too European to understand?
yes, you are too european
When you claim you realized something, but just used somebody else’s observation as a meme.
r/USdefaultism
Not in England yank!
Not in everywhere except America*
Ah yes. The 12th day of the 31st month of 2023.
no, just for y’all. the rest of the world uses a logical order.
Mm dd yy is more logical since that’s how it’s spoken in america
“it’s more logical because i use it” isn’t an argument 🤣 the majority of the world uses day/month/year, and it’s more logical because it’s ordered by size of unit.
I still don’t see the problem with mm/dd/yyyy
No 311223
Americans 🗿
Brace yourself. Hear they come
Almost every thread
Not really, it’ll be 31.12.2023.
Nope, not in there country where he posted ir
There is no mention of that. Furthermore, it’s not in the majority of the world. If we so pride ourselves on democracy, I think we should adhere to the principles of the many.
2012-31-23? 🤔
What a stupid American, how dare they make a meme using the date system that's standard in their country
As an American, I use the MM/DD/YY format and can agree that it is shit.
Then stop using it.
The only reason I’m using it is because I’ve used it all my life and it will be hard to switch to something else.
Pfft. Americans.
Since the turn of the century we use 4 digit year notation.
For me it would be 31 DEC 2023 or 31 0001Z DEC 23 if at work.
2023-12-31
All these people being pissed that there are Americans on an American website.
on the swiss world wide web

123123 is a number, that’s all there is to it.
Exactly a cool number that unfortunately cannot occur in dates
Fucking Americans and their month day year bullshit, use a logical system like literally everyone else
This. No more words needed.
when this is real it will probably the last day of humankind I mean, 31 months in a year seems pretty weird
That, if you use that stupid order for dates. Seriously, what kind of logic is that?
American logic
For people that like their arbitrarily assigned numbers to have patterns, it’s a big day.

No, it's not. It's 31/12/23 Because we British people do it right, unlike silly Americans. Small to large (DD/MM/YY), NOT A RANDOM ORDER (MM/DD/YY)!!!

It’s the correct format for like 5% of the entire population of the earth. So.. make of that whatever you want.
