In Germany it's almost always dd-mm-yy, like today would be the 23.04.2021. yy-mm-dd is pretty much exclusively used for the naming of computer files and folders

You know what's fun? Working in a computer system that tracks different things with YYYY-WW-DD or MM-DD-YYYY commonly in the same screen, but at at least in different non-adjacent columns

Wiki gives the following cities as belonging to it: Warsaw, Kraków, Katowice, Bratislava, Praha, Brno, Budapest, Pécs, Győr, Székesfehérvár, Szombathely, Zagreb, Trieste and Ljubljana. I'm pretty sure that Prague isn't actually within the area as depicted though, and it seems strange to me to include eg Szombathely (pop. 78,000) while also excluding cities like Graz (pop. ~300,000) Vienna (pop. 1.9 million), Wroclaw (pop. 640,000) or Gdansk (pop. 470,000). I also can't find anything beyond a single mention in wiki and the reddit posts you mentioned, weird

Yeah I also don't see anything else when I tineye it. The green one is the stupidest possible "megalopolis" on the entire Wiki entry. It's a huge area without any ethnic or linguistic continuity, and it's not even all that densely populated. The blue banana is also pretty dumb. Following the Rhine would make sense, but extending it to include all of the central Alps and to include all of northern Italy doesn't make any sense. The area between the Zurich–Innsbruck–Milan triangle is pretty sparsely populated and the central Alps would not fall under any sense of the concept "megalopolis". Same with highlighting the thinly-populated Ardennes and Black Forest regions. Their big, long, thick, blue banana should be a lot thinner and shorter...

The blue banana is just the kingdom of lotharingia and then some. The Milan-Ardennes axis was actually an important route for the Spanish to connect their Italian and Lowlands holdings later on Edit: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spanish_Road

2021 is one of those years when the week numbering systems match up though. I expect a lot of unknowingly confusing excel sheets to be created this fortunate year!

I think the two systems are: -First week is the week containing January 1st -First week is the week containing the first Thursday of the year. Second one is superior. But in either case, you get either some week 1 I'm the end of December or (second option) some week 52 (possibly 53?) In the beginning of January.
