   @lykanthrocide @coolboymew @sun probably @p but I go YY-MON-DD so 24-JUN-05 is today's date the way i write it. that way it can not ever be confused (that is, until the 70s when epoch date started being tabulated)

     @graf @lykanthrocide @coolboymew @sun
     
     YYYY-MM-DD: unambiguous, lexical sorting is identical to chronological sorting (so August doesn't appear before January), and strftime provides a convenient abbreviation: "%F". Without even thinking, unless I have a reason, I just mash "%F %R:%S" into everything. ("Time zone"? What? Does this machine not use UTC?) It's the same format in FSE's bloat (regular bloat uses something shorter, I think), so your post says "2024-06-05 21:19:26 (114m)" next to it, because I loaded this thread 114 minutes after your reply.

     @sun @coolboymew @graf I recall someone on fedi who, whenever the topic of date format would come up, would post a particular way to write dates that made logical sense but that not many people really use. Does anyone know who this person is and what the date format is that they would propose?
