@trogus I support this Idea
-
@aaxa is that ISO? i was actually curious what the rest of the world uses for logging... so you guys dont use YYYY/DD/MM?
-
@Krokoklemme as I've said before, Americans like to feel special, need to be different from the rest of the world
-
@billgates yeah, that's also the reason why they're still using imperial measurements
-
And what's with the slashes? They easily mess things up when used in file naming; yyyy-mm-dd is ISO and just works! :)
Also, mandatory xkcd reference: https://m.xkcd.com/1179/ -
+10 for xkcd referens @Flygger

@Krokoklemme I work with a bunch of Americans as a consultant so I have had to be all diplomatic about that date format for a number of years. Your comment brought me a laughter that jiggled my fat little tits. Thank you kind sir.
-
@billgates I don't know actually.
We use DD/MM/YYYY in Denmark or the same but with dashes -
I normally write the date in Japanese. Faster than An other format :D
Not sure why Americans had to change the format. They definitely need to feel special, @billgates -
@aaxa
I feel we scandinavians win over americans due to them and their imperial system. If america wants to set an ISO standard they can fuck off!
-
@RakNoel I completely agree. Of course most Americans will say they like their standard, but if they really think hard about it, ours are way more logical.
-
@RakNoel what book is this from?
-
@billgates I am sorry to say that I did not take that image and I have no idea :(

Found this somewhere and started crying
Just noticed the date format mm/dd/yy. Can we switch (or give an option to switch) to a superior to format like dd.mm.yy or iso 8601
