Don't ask how they count the years tho
Tbf Japan's system still makes more sense than having the month first. The month is the middle number so it makes no sense having that first

Yeah but half the time is actually: EYY/MM/DD. Like this year is 令5/MM/DD.
And some years have two values, 2019 was both 平31, from 01/01 until 04/30, then 令1 from 05/01 onwards.

Japan I can get behind but MM/dd/yyyy is just evil, why would you sandwich days between months and years? You monster
Pretty f'd up we can't all even agree on this. Between this and DST, humanity is just pretty hopeless.
Yep, today is 2023, November 22.
Someone should make this an alternative date format in English, it looks and works really well.
