@Froot unix epoch
-
dd/mm/yyyy, yyyy-mm-dd when it needs to be sortable.
No half arsed middle ground is acceptable.
Who the hell thinks mm/dd/yyyy makes any bloody kind of sense? Why not write a hundred thousand dollars as 000100$00, or five thirty pm, as 30:17:00.
Right to fucking left or left to fucking right, get with the programme! -
@brahn in the united states it's mm/dd/yyyy because it's the way we say it and the way we would write it out on paper "May 26th 2018" for example. However I never do that when programming. I tend to stick to MySQL timestamp conventions when programming.

@Froot color is okay though, because I've typed it so much I now have to remember to put a 'u' in it :(

@Froot In my opinion Celsius makes everything look way colder than it really is. Then again that's probably because I grew up in the US...
Needs to be 2am.. else nothing gets done!
As a programmer I can relate. Can you? :)))
So... I had this assignment. I was chill, had plenty of time, so I wasted hours playing videogames and also spent some learning programming. Then, at 3 am, after spending 2 hours leveling my first character in runescape, I gaze through the clock on my pc and notice the date was the 9th, the assignment was due tomorrow! SHIT
I RUSHED TO WORK AND SPENT THE WHOLE NIGHT CODING (it was for a programming class I took at the uni) HOURS OF HOURS OF STUPID MISTAKES MADE OUT OF SLEEPYNESS.
Until I made it.
I send the assignment, everything is cool. I watch the clock a last time before going to bed and fuck! The clock was in mm/dd/yyyy format! Don't know how the fuck it changed itself and how the fuck I didn't notice there was something wrong with the date. I still had 5 days remaining :(
May I request the world to get their shit together and choose just one global date format?
PS: my normal date format is dd/mm/yyyy
