Everytime Pi Day rolls around (har har), there's always comments about how Americans are weird for using the mm/dd/yyyy format for dates, while much of the rest of the world uses dd/mm/yyyy.

Hot take: both formats suck and should be replaced by the superior yyyy/mm/dd

Edit: this apparently is more of a lukewarm take than a hot take lol

@malcircuit Hotter take: yyyymmdd or yyyy-mm-dd. Adding / messes up with file names.
@theartlav @malcircuit liking ISO 8601 is a hot take now?

@kern @malcircuit @theartlav

Until it's mandated by law and common decency...

@theartlav sizzling take: yyyy/mm/dd makes for efficient directory hashing.

@malcircuit

@theartlav @malcircuit unless you're really that low on characters, with dashes just like iso 8601 intended (also more readable)
