All you'd have to do to make it much more readable is separate the time and the year with some kind of separator like a hyphen, slash or dot. Also "Z" is the time zone, denoting UTC (see also military time zones)

Oh, duh. It's why all my timestamps have Z's in the database lmao

Thing is, you're right that the separation would help, but this is still way less ambiguous that MM/DD vs DD/MM if you ask me.
