MM/dd/yyyy date format by default on software

Worst format ever. It should either be dd/mm/yyyy or yyyy/mm/dd

The worst?? Try mm/yy/dd, and you'll regret everything in your life. Another “great” one is yyyy-dd-mm; it'll infuriate anyone using the ISO standard.

[–] prettygorgeous@aussie.zone 12 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Omg who uses that?

[–] azimir@lemmy.ml 12 points 1 month ago

No one who survived the attempt to require others to use it.

Me, for a future April Fools release in one of my projects.

MM/YY/DDD (Ordinal date)

The best part is, they are two different levels of evil. The ISO standard is the LAST thing someone should alter like that.
