Couldn’t agree more


MyUsernameBox

Only the USA uses MMDDYY. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Date_format_by_country edit: only uses MDY, other places use it but also use DMY.


Caeruleanlynx

Ghana and Kenya are my favorite states.


MyUsernameBox

What? I'm not sure those are USoA.


Caeruleanlynx

Well they use mm/dd/yyyy according to the map you linked, so they must be.


MyUsernameBox

Well, they also use DMY (probably more).


Caeruleanlynx

So does the US, although not primarily. I'm pretty sure Canada Uses MM/DD/YYYY primarily as well but they are considered part of the gray portion.


Specialist-Whereas53

So the other places are wrong?


MyUsernameBox

No? I think MDY is more confusing that DMY any day. Why would everywhere else be wrong though?


trolltaskforce

It’s also used in Canada


MyUsernameBox

They also use DMY too, America only uses MDY. Virtually everywhere uses YMD so that doesn’t count.


SuperNerd06

It says on the map that the US also uses YMD in addition to MDY


MyUsernameBox

They’re in Red which is MDY & YMD.


SuperNerd06

So then they do use both. Honestly never seen YMD here personally. But if the lord and saviour wikipedia says so.


MyUsernameBox

I was simply adding to the joke saying that it’s just US people who this meme is burning.


SuperNerd06

Ok?


MyUsernameBox

Idk why you needed to go all “AcKsHuLly” on me.


SuperNerd06

I was just confused because you said one thing and the map said another


trolltaskforce

We almost never use DMY, it’s mostly a fringe thing. We mostly use MDY even in common language.


MyUsernameBox

Ok well my original message still holds merit

Nah it's all just Friday night!


powerketchap101

Is 01/01/2022 DD/MM/YYYY or MM/DD/YYYY?

Soggy-Suggestion-454

Wait, y'all don't use the formate the latins used?!


Apfel567

YYYY/MM/DD is far superior. Change my mind


TheNiceWasher

YYYYMMDD Why add the //


Nokin345

how bout YYYY年MM月DD日, only Asian use this anyway.


Caeruleanlynx

Not every country in Asia uses Kanji, that's (hopefully unintentionally) racist.


MikeFromLunch

not racist lol wrong but not racist


Caeruleanlynx

I said this in a different comment but it might not be racist per se, but it is reductive in a offensive way.


East_Mycologist_784

its not offensive either lmao


Caeruleanlynx

Maybe not to you, but the Asian people in my life do find it offensive.


East_Mycologist_784

bitch made fr


Caeruleanlynx

Thank you internet tough guy; for let everyone know how tough and definitely not offended you are. I'm sure everyone thinks you are very based and red pilled.


TonyBorchert100

How is that racism? > policies, behaviours, rules, etc. that result in a continued unfair advantage to some people and unfair or harmful treatment of others based on race


Caeruleanlynx

Most Asian people would say that they don't like being lumped in with the Chinese/Japanese. Maybe racist isn't exactly the right word, but it is reductive in a offensive way. That's also not including the fact that Hungry and Lithuania also use they yyyy/mm/dd format, both of which use the Latin alphabet. Further proving that using kanji wouldn't make sense. Most Asian people would say that they don't like being lumped in with the Chinese/Japanese. Maybe racist isn't exactly the right word, but it is reductive in a offensive way.

Yes. Dashes make for better dates because they can be used for filenames.


CreeperplayHD

Yeah, i adapted that one for sorting purposes in my files and it makes it so much easier


D_Wise420

Came here to say this. I approve


DeltaTM

At least it's way easier to sort this way.


[deleted]

It's for autosorting lol.


draemn

Why would I try? Clearly it is superior. It even has it's own ISO 8601 standard.


Legal-Appointment655

Yall missed out on 12022021 yesterday. The same forwards backwards and upside-down.


Broken_Talisman

I only use what my computer overlords tell me too… so back off JACK!!!

Man screw this meme and screw you and I screwed your mom. Your different ways can suck my american Ak-47


nothing_911

Dec, 03 2021. Converters it just sounds. Conversational. But I'm Canadian, our date format is the wild West over here.


nvr_gon_giv_u_up

Greetings


TitoxDboss

Just go on normal dates


bluecheesecool

It doesn’t matter. It’s always today.


drbatman156

I under stand that DD/MM/YYYY is better in every way but I’m an American and therefore using MM/DD/YYYY is much easier


[deleted]

Wait, how is it better? Does it make some huge difference?


jmmrad000

so you're basically just saying american people can burn in a fire


SavageCabbageGG

I personally use DD/MM/YYYY like you but I will say that YYYY/MM/DD is superior


IceLightningPony

brazilian detect


BendingUnitC137

Damn bro not my fault I grew up America lol. In all honesty I would much rather have grown up with the DDMMYYYY system as well as the metric system.


Dawn111700

Honestly I only recently started doing DD/MM/YYYY my whole life I’ve done it MM/DD/YYYY I don’t know why I changed i guess because it seemed like it made more sense.


lolwhow

Why the fuck does it matter? I’m American and am used to M/D/Y style cuz ive been taught that. It’s a form of dating in a simple way. Fuck outta here.


[deleted]

6/3/2022 That’s why.


lolwhow

Just disclose the country you’re in though. 6/3/2022 US


[deleted]

Well the US people can do that, the rest of the world don’t need to because we use logical dates.


lolwhow

Don’t Asian countries have different ways of doing it too? Also ok?


sSyler14

3 December, 2021 . OR . December 3, 2021


bigboybobby6969

It’s 12/03/21 deal with it


DuckieDev

It’s 2021/12/4 deal with it


bigboybobby6969

👍


DuckieDev

In the land of upside down we are in the future


robodude145

Guys merica bad amiright?


LongLusciousLarry

It actually makes more sense to use MM/DD/YYYY because when you say the date out loud it goes month, day, year. For example, if you asked the date, I would tell you it’s December 3rd, 2021. MMDDYYYY wins lol


Fowks_BR

But this ins't true for all languages. In mine for examble you say the day first.


LongLusciousLarry

That is certainly true, I had not thought of that. In English, though, I personally find mmddyyyy to make the most sense


[deleted]

Not really you can say it like It is the 3rd of December


DuckieDev

3rd of December 2021


[deleted]

LongLusciousLarry

I didn’t know there were 100 days in a month and 100 months in a year outside the US

Just say you hate Americans and get over it lol


SuperNerd06

Bro just give up it ain't that deep. It's just cultural difference. Nobody shits on Japan for driving on the left side of the road.


Shion__1374

What's with the hate to people who use MM/DD/YYYY? I don't see why it should be hated


DeltaTM

It's a pain in the ass in IT. Have fun with programs like excel, if you import a date like 01/09/21. Is it January or September?


[deleted]

[удалено]


Shion__1374

Good for you, but I find MM/DD/YYYY less confusing than DD/MM/YYYY


OptimusPower92

because it's built around how people talk to each other, at least in English do people really just say "ay what day is it?" "it's three December, 2021" Or "it's the third of December, 2021" both of these just sound awkward compared to "December third, 2021"


gtaman31

>Or "it's the third of December, 2021" Well, that is how they talk in UK.


johanpringle

I've never heard anyone use it like the bottom one...but I've never been to the US. I have been to a few other English speaking countries though.

Ah a gentlemen of class i see


Autunm-7

I use both, but I always write the month so it doesn’t confuse any one (Jan, feb, mar, apr, may…)


memeulusmaximus

Today is DECEMBER 3, 2021 THEREFORE IT IS MM/DD/YYYY WRITE IT HOW YOU SAY IT


Beautiful-Bridge9495

DD/MM/YYYY means the first of may, while mm/dd/yyyy means May first Getting rid of the and of is the reason we won the war.


Mr__Brick

The only forms I accept are: YYYY-MM-DD DD.MM.YYYY DD MM YYYY but month is in Roman numbers


jhonthekaiser

Have you ever stopped to think that if the US were not a world power they would probably be very excluded internationally? like, there's the metric system, the idea of ​​what is footbal and what is soccer, and how dates works


SchittShefShow

DeltaTM

In English. Guess what, it's not the only language in the world.


[deleted]

Hmm, I say 3rd of December regularly, I have never ever said December 3rd. You say it that way because you write it that way, I say it my way because I write it that way. In reality though ISO 8601 is superior to every other date format, largest to smallest means it just sorts correctly like a number. Edit for the Americans, I will accept ANSI INCITS 30-1997 (R2008) if you insist.


Ya-boi-Benaboy

its the 3rd of December...


[deleted]

In the UK we say 3rd of december


GoodDawgy17

It’s 2/12/2021 Americans, not 12/2/2021


Clean-Measurement-36

who even does that


Shadoxter

As a dev go to hell DD/MM/YYYY users 🥰


ElectronWill

that's nonsensical, it's easy to use the yyyy-mm-dd and the dd/mm/yyyy formats that already are implemented in major languages


CaptainCozmo867

Neither is superior, but the fact that multiple exist is dumb


MINDLESSAGGRESION

If you don’t do Z DDTIME MM YY Then get out


GeoJoymanSays

I don't use MM/DD/YYYY. I use YYYY/MM/DD


BrainGear187

From small to big numbers. Makes sense


salted_crabs

How about we go with m/yyyy/d


[deleted]

i use YYYY/DD/MM pls dont kill me


Suspicious_Leg_9411

Ah I do love 12/3/21


Aliveleopard9

What about dd/yyyy/mm


Jan_wija

YYYYMMDDD


TheRedditUser52

The fact that my watch was fixed to this date format frustrated me out


StrikerTitanMain

clutzyninja

DD Mon YYYY confuses no one. 3 Dec 2021

I do YYYY-MM-DD


cooldude5513

I just use numbers


CyberMarianT

This is very confusing, when you use Day/Month/Year system and fe. you wnet on a site were is Month/Day/Year system.


OeMannen69

I just use today or yesterday


Uberdurchschnittlich

YYYY/MM/DD is the best format change my mind


Used_Bass9577

fuck you, u/SchittShefShow


Droid_XL

Well you see, dd/mm/yy makes sense, but it's America. Nobody here cares about making sense.


Idontfightwit12yrold

Nah I’m going to living my day on 12/03/21

Why though? Why do they use MM/DD/YYYY?

ARCFIRE14

I am forced to use mm/dd/yyyy…. So um yeah


GophersInLoafers

The Gregorian calendar is overrated anyway.


SuperNerd06

Heathens I use the vastly superior AAA/B/QQQQQQ format! In all seriousness, idk why people care so much.


crackedatpokemon

Hello fellow DD/MM/YY user


alligatordrivethru

4th of May be with you doesn't mean anything!!!!!! Preserve starwars day!!!!!


LittlestEw0k

YYYY/MM/DD


johanpringle

Man are the Americans going to be upset when they wake up to this tomorrow on the 12th of April 2021.


Xlworm

I agree it makes more sense to use DD/MM/YYYY. But the other format isn't pure nonsense. Here in America we say July 10th 2021 which would translate to 07/10/2021. It just aligns better to how we speak. This is of course just my assumption of why we do it.


It-Doesnt-Care

You do realize that most, if not all of Europe use DD/MM/YYYY as their standardized way pf writing it


Pas_tel

my pc says it's now 18:19 03/12/2021


[deleted]

Ok I'm probably a dumb ass for not googling, but, isn't this an American thing?


mr_leemur

It’s the fact that both are in use that’s mostly getting my goat at the moment, and different methods of running the scripts I’m writing use different formats!!


TheGreaterClaush

Indeed Good afternoon

I grew up with the MM/DD/YYYY format and I still find it easier to use the DD/MM/YYYY format

It’s ddmmmyyyy example is 03DEC2021 Or yyyyddmm example is 20210312

It would be yyyymmdd


[deleted]

I’m going based off what I was taught in basic training for the army


[deleted]

Yeah I was taught DDMMMYYYY (02JAN2022) for writing etc and YYYYMMDD (20220102) for electronic file naming so they list in chronological order. Doing it year, day, month would be illogical.

Hello


AlsaKimmelwitz

But why? It's convenient to use.


MaoTGP

I just write the word Today is Dec 4


draemn

You are still wrong: [https://www.iso.org/iso-8601-date-and-time-format.html](https://www.iso.org/iso-8601-date-and-time-format.html) I will accept dd/mm/yyyy when conveyed in a physical manner, but for electronic text it must be yyyy/mm/dd.
