MM/DD/YY for me.
Edit: I learned something new today.
No
I never downvote people on Lemmy but I did for this one .... I just spent the past month going through some invoicing and paper receipts and it is absolutely infuriating to still see some businesses using MM-DD-YY while others insist on DD-MM-YY and some businesses have invoicing and receipt printers that use one or the other but not the same. It's not a big deal if you are dealing with documents that are a month or two old because you can guess from what time period they come from ... but it is absolutely confusing if documents get older than that.
I escaped reddit for this?
I stand by this man, do your worst Lemmy.
Hello, Y2K called, this is literally what caused it. Years stored in 2-digits had to be fixed on every computer on the planet before the calendar rolled to 2000. (People thought nukes would fly, glitches would crash the stock market and the world was going to end)
I'm giving you a pity upvote lol
Stop it Patrick you're scaring them!
Dang you're getting down voted but this is how all Americans talk. It's June 4th 2022.
Apparently (if you believe things from Lemmy) the American date format is 'barbaric' because it's different from the norm.
Upvoted, because never blame someone who learned something new.
YYYY-MM-DD is for Files
DD.MM.YYYY is for writing a date down.
MM/YY for me. People can figure out the day of month themselves.
Same here buddy. It's what I use every day. Welcome to Lemmy, apparently being American is unwelcome around here.
Oh also. Windows, OneDrive and Google really russles some jimmies round here.
Being American isn't unwelcome here. Using barbaric date formats is.
Pretty sure that's debatable. I've seen quite a bit of American hate on Lemmy
In general Lemmy is a fairly hateful place, lots of bitter individuals.
