I was thinking about this earlier today while arbitrating a mental argument between an American and European. Year month day is superior. The hypothetical European was flabbergasted.

Thank you! ISO 8601 is the superior date and time format!

It just makes the most sense because cause the numbers on the left of regular numbers like 1095 are bigger than the ones on the right

Nah bc year-month-day means that abc order and chronological order are the same

Days are shortest, years are longest. 24 hours in a day, 30-31 days in a month, 12 months in a year. Sounds like it is smallest to biggest to me…

You said the numbers should go smallest to biggest sorry I didn’t take into account you changing your opinion

Year-month-day still makes more sense than month-day-year does. It’s still in a logical order at least.

If everyone (in the US at least) says the date as “April 6th” it makes perfect sense to write it as 4/6 so you read it the same way

Yeah, I said that and then literally repeated that exact thing. Date should go smallest to biggest. Days are smallest, years are biggest. Literally what’s the issue?

I’m so confused lol. Months range from 1-12, days range from 1-31, years range from wherever time started to whenever it’s gonna end. If we’re going in order of the maximum size of the number would it not be month day year???

It’s the length of time. Days are the shortest length of time (24hrs) and years are the longest (8760hrs) in this context.

Yah no shit but “the numbers should go smallest to biggest” which this all started from has nothing to do with length of time I don’t know why I’m still responding to these

No. What happened is they started off saying “the numbers should go from biggest to smallest” because their tiny little stegosaurus brain intuitively thought the number value of months were bigger than days since they are longer in time. When they realized they were wrong and that day/month/year would in fact not place the numbers from smallest to biggest in most cases, they pivoted to say that of course the whole time they meant in order of length of time. I am right. Boom get trafficked mf

Damn it took you till high school to learn the concept of bigger and smaller 😬

Do you mean significant figures? That’s only for decimals

My b sorry my high school chem knowledge from like 5 years ago is a little rusty, at least I can actually admit when I’m wrong cough cough #8. Still, sigfigs are not applicable right now since we’re literally talking about numbers from 1-30, stop trying to make this more complicated than it is. Also days and months have the same number of digits, either 1 or 2, so idek what point you were trying to make there

No? I meant time the entire time lmao. Days are smallest, years are biggest. Hence “they should go smallest to biggest”. Why are you SO MAD over you misunderstanding my comment and hoping I experience extreme trauma just because you disagree on how the date should be written? Jesus…

What is there for me to admit I was wrong about? I wrote what I wrote, and I stand by it. Numbers smallest to biggest. Days are smallest (shortest), years are biggest (longest). You’re the only one who’s making anything complicated or kicking up a fuss. And you’re the only one wishing harm on others OVER THE DATE. Y’all need hobbies fr fr.

Interesting date you’ve chosen there

Well what if I speak it “the 6th of January, 2021” that is not a good reason because there are so many ways to speak the date

Most people (where I’m from) say “January 6” not “the 6th of January”

Tbh that seems like an america only thing. Rest of the world does generally does day-month-year, or something else, like year-month-day, if not both. So “people” is mostly just America.
