If the date format is not YYYY-MM-DD it can fuck right off.
I also remember as PHP programming language still won’t do it with this function: DateTimeInterface::ISO8601 DATE_ISO8601 https://www.php.net/manual/en/class.datetimeinterface.php#datetime.constants.iso8601
You need the DateTimeInterface::ISO8601_EXPANDED which can actually accept non compliant strings too.
PHP - wherever you see an intuitive solution it’s wrong or has important caveats.
My favorite thing about this date format is using it in file names. Sorting the files by name also sorts them by date.

for storing dates it’s awesome, for displaying dates it’s time to teach your programmer how to format shit for humans.
It actually is the best for displaying all-number dates to people as well because no one in their right mind will ever do yyyy-dd-mm.
So if you see the year first, you know the format. When the year is last and you see a date like 03-02-2023, you have to take into account the nationality of the author to know if it’s March 2nd or February 3rd.
But 2023-02-03 it becomes clear that it’s February 3rd.
I can’t even comprehend how dumb this image is.
Now this is the kind of shitposting I can get behind.
I actually agree that the metric system has nice round numbers, but this graphic is a hilarious rebuttal to the first one that just draws pictures to make their preferred system look like it fits into the pretty pictures.
Two can play at that game, lol.
It’s actually interesting, an inch is the last knuckle of your thumb, a foot is your foot, a yard is one pace (left right left) a mile is 1000 paces
But for some reason when we standardized them so everyone’s mile would be the same distance, we used a freaking giant.
Then pirates kept us from adopting the metric system
Fuck yeah. Because 100 being the temperature of a random woman measured during her menstrual cycle totally makes sense.
