This is only true when dealing with huge amounts electronic data, for easy sorting and such. DD:MM:YYYY is superior for everyday use. Don’t even try to change my mind

True. But I found that out after importing loads of photos from my old phone where I stored everything DDMMYYYY. Shit was all fucked up (winXP times). I’m used to DD-MM-YY on a daily basis, which is totally fine. Just don’t name your files like that xD

DD.MM.YYYY is superior for everyday use

Please elaborate. Can’t see how this could be true in any situation but I’m willing to hear you out xd

  If most of your dates you’re looking at are within a 90 day span, DD.MM.YYYY gives you the important information first, and you can often omit the YYYY entirely.

    Exactly. It’s also spoken in that order for that reason. At least in the languages I know. If I ask you for the date and you start with 2026, I’ll be a litte confused.

As a Hungarian I have to say that YYYY.MM.DD. Is clearly fucking superior.

  As an American I mostly use MM-DD-YY, but I occasionally use YYYY.MM.DD if I want to sort.
