Christ, do this many people really find iso8601 hard to read? It’s the date and the time with a T in the middle.

Not "many people." Americans. Americans find it hard to read. I'm not 100% sure but I'm fairly certain everyone else in the world agrees that either day/month/year or year/month/day is the best way to clearly indicate a date. You know, because big to small. America believes month/day/year for some stupid fucking reason.

Because who cares what day it is without knowing the month first.

How often do you mentally need to update the month in your head though? I can literally tell you.

[–] MKBandit 2 points 1 year ago

Ah yes, because all dates you see every day have to do with the current month
