    Hmmm more like 6 ways but I get your point

      Three ways that people actually use. YYYY-MM-DD, DD-MM-YYYY, and MM-DD-YYYY (ew).

      AFAIK no-one does YYYY-DD-MM, DD-YYYY-MM, or MM-YYYY-DD… yet. Don’t let the Americans know about these formats, they might just start using them out of spite.

        YYYY-DD-MM, DD-YYYY-MM, or MM-YYYY-DD

        What the actual fuck

        ‘hey man, what date is it today?’ ‘well it’s the 15th of 2023, August’

          Lmao, I want to try responding like this and see what the reactions are

            I want to try this, too. Make it more possessive, though. The 15th of 2023’s August. Really add to the confusion.

        I’ll avoid those at all cost and go with the new standard of YY-MM-DD-YY. What’s the date today? 20-08-10-23

          What, 2023-223 for the 223rd day of the year 2023? That… is oddly appealing for telling the actual progress of the year or grouping. No silly “does this group have 31, 30, 29 or 28 members”, particularly the “is this year a multiple of four, but not of 100, unless it’s also a multiple of 400?” bit with leap days.

          You’ll have oddities still, no matter which way you slice it, because our orbit is mathematically imperfect, but it’s a start.

            So we need to correct our orbit is what I’m hearing!

              That’d be a wack premise for a crazy scientist story

      Twelve ways if you count two-digit years. My nephew was born on 12/12/12 which was convenient.

        My grandmother was born in 1896 and lived to be 102, just long enough for the pre-Y2K computer systems in hospitals to think she was a two-year-old.

          Ouch!

          I lost about an hour of my life trying to create a historical timeline in MS Excel. Eventually learned this is impossible with dates earlier than 1900.
