mm/dd/yy be like
At least the bowl is clean?
Not the underside tho
Reminds me of when Kelloggs asked people in the UK to share on Twitter how they ate cornflakes and put the results in an ad. The results were: put the cornflakes in a bowl, pour on milk and then eat them. Like nobody could have foreseen such a result.
Similar to when a Disaronno ad told people how to make Disaronno and orange juice. Put Disaronno in a glass, then pour in orange juice.
That’ll cost $100 at a fancy French restaurant.
Nononononono you have the break the bowl up into little pieces too.
ISO 8601 date formats be like:
No they say you should use the things from big to small. So: bowl, then cereal, then milk. Which sounds reasonable
Not just reasonable, that’s the very definition of reason.
For those keeping score, that’s ordering files by date and cereal confusion it’s good for.
For everything else, DMY is the way to go.
Also anything that may be viewed by someone who doesn’t already know what year the document is from.
I’m trying SO hard rn to resist the urge to be militant about my favorite datetime format
DMY is good. YMD is also good. Anything else is stupid
Is it D(ay)M(onth)Y(ear) aka the best one for 99% of all things?
Year, Month, Day, which is better because it’s sortable
Sure.
And I like to sort by month.That’s one of the weirdest kinks I’ve seen, but I guess you should do you… thumbs up
That’s ISO 8601.
While I’ll concede that it’s the best one for sorting thinks that span more than a year, such as the photos on your phone, DMY makes much more sense for everything else.
Okay I totally see your perspective and I could stop there but I love arguing so let me play devil’s advocate here.
The year is most important, especially if you assume it’s the current year but it turns out not to be:
The important party is tomorrow, next year.
Your last doctors checkup was three weeks ago, ten years ago.
Seriously DMY is the way to go.
I forget what day it is, generally I know the month and year.
When looking at things older than 6 months the year is immediately more relevant to me than the day.
This has “why I season my cutting board instead of my steak” energy.
Did The Grinch post this?
okay but Frankenberry > Count Chocula > Booberry and I will fight about it
Count Chocula. I’ll be out in the parking lot.
Transitive Law does not apply.
How do I unsee this?
Then who put the spoon there! And when!?
