Or RFC3339, which is freely available unlike ISO.

Very fair point.

We should seize the means of ISOing from the burgueoise!

Oh, shit! Really?

I’ll have to upgrade my standards references.

We should update this community!

This diagram is dumb, if we read it from the top as you normally do with text, without context you could easily end up writing dates like this:

59:59:23 - 31-12-2025

instead of like this (which I agree is the proper format):

2025-12-31 - 23:59:59

EDIT: Isnt America's diagram wrong, if we only look at the date portion (and ignore the AM/PM idiocy), don't they tend to write

Month Day Year - 12/31/2025

not

Year Day Month - 2025/31/12

The America diagram is correct if read from bottom to top.

lol, I just spent time complaining about how bad the diagram was and then demonstrated it directly after.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 6 days ago (2 children)

I think it's supposed to be read bottom up

I am surrounded by weakness. I read them diagonally

People don't typically put the smallest part at the bottom of the pyramid, since pyramids have the biggest part at the bottom.

It's pretty typical to, when discussing things with ranked importance of that build in one another, to arrange them like a pyramid to convey the ordered nature.

It doesn't just please OCD people, it also lets you sort by date when sorted alphabetically. Anything less is madness.

Why is there a whole community just for this? 💀

[–] metallic_substance 10 points 6 days ago
[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 days ago

To spread the message and have funformative talks about it, of course.

Come on, lemmy is not only cats and linux!
