Everytime Pi Day rolls around (har har), there's always comments about how Americans are weird for using the mm/dd/yyyy format for dates, while much of the rest of the world uses dd/mm/yyyy.
Hot take: both formats suck and should be replaced by the superior yyyy/mm/dd
@malcircuit My hot take: multiple commonly accepted date formats give us more holidays to celebrate.
We could get away from our blood-soaked national holidays and celebrate stuff like "Pi Day" and "Mario Day" worldwide. I think "idk that's how some people write today's date" is a perfectly good reason to have a party!
I like that format (using "-" instead of "/") because if I use it when naming computer files, the files will automatically be in chronological order when sorted alphabetically.
