This fucknuts who thinks day should come before year, hah! Give me YYYY-MM-DD, because dashes are better than slashes any day of the week.

    HA! if you even get to be 74!

    But in some jobs the year is more important (bookkeeping/accounting) and doing YYYY-MM-DD automatically sorts your dates

    YYYY-MM-DD obviously has uses, especially with sorting, but that doesnt make it the objectively best date format
