In my personal date format it's 1,574,639,689. It's easy, just calculate the number of seconds until April 20th 2069.

ISO8601 and UTC. Anything else is heresy. BTW, Americans say "May twenty-ninth twenty nineteen", so that's why 5/29/2019 is the standard there. Euros have enough folks that say "twenty-ninth of May twenty nineteen" so you get 29/5/2019.

All the European contries that I've worked with prefer the ISO date format. Maybe the British use day-month-year but screw them, they're leaving anyway.

They have a bunch of different languages and cultures and tech levels and stuff but all of them have some legacy computer systems way at the bottom of their stuff, and the only common timing system they have across everything is a counter of seconds that are widely believed to be counting time since humans first landed on their original homeworld's moon; but the real knowitalls are aware that it's actually offset by several months for some unknown reason.

This actually happened, by the way; when a bunch of Labour MPs split from the party to form their own, there was a common talking point that they were really set up in 2015 because their website was registered on 15 February, and they didn’t read the WHOIS record correctly. A similar talking point was that they were a really Panamanian company because they used a domain privacy service (which they would’ve automatically availed themselves of anyway if they used a .uk domain)

I noticed the other day that British newspapers seem to use Month Day Year, so I'm gonna just assume it's like the metric system in that the British have managed to choose the most objectively wrong way possible.

They do it as like JAN 04 1996 though right? Month first is fine if you're spelling out the month, then there's no ambiguity, though I'm still not sure why you would. The information you need most often is the changed digit, and that is most of the time the day, then the month, then the year. I understand why the ISO format is what it is, but for day to day use ddmmyyyy is just better.

Still makes no sense why they all seem to consistently do it that way when the rest of the country does it the other way quote:The information you need most often is the changed digit, and that is most of the time the day, then the month, then the year. This is complete nonsense. You need all three parts of the date for it to make any sense, possibly excluding the year. Unless you mean it should go by order of importance, but that leaves you with...YYYY-MM-DD. or MM-DD-YYYY if you don't care much for the year. Of course this argument is useless anyway since people are just gonna rationalize the way they're used to as objectively superior for whatever reasons when it's really just personal preference.

Say what you will about the US and the metric system, but like with the date, at least the US loving commits, unlike the half-metric insanity going on in the rest of the anglosphere. Gimme Full Imperial every day before some hosed up hybrid system. A 3.2 mile run on 5/30/2019 in beautiful 70-degree temperatures, followed up with a few quarts of water! Eat poo poo Europe!

If I say "30", then that offers zero context. There are 11 "30"s scattered throughout the calendar. The next word, May, is absolutely required for any time context. If I say "May", then you have context. You know concretely that the date about to be discussed is in a single 1/12th block of the calendar. Then "30" narrows it down to a single date. Thus, "May 30" is objectively superior to "30 May".
