Why can't we just call it Independence Day, that's what it's actually called

Why is the format not:
2025/4/12
Biggest time frame to smallest time frame (year, month, then day)?
my guess is order of relevance.
2025/4/12
Don't forget leading zeroes, we're not half assing this!
02025/04/012
ISO8601 FTW!

With the way things are going over there, the whole thing falls apart soon enough and this issue can be fixed in the rebuild.
None of this dumb shits going to matter when the meteor sephiroth summoned blows the earth up
Of course it will still matter. You'll need a calendar just to time out the animation for that spell it's so fucking long.
Both are wrong. The correct way to write the date is YYYY-MM-DD. This is the only way to sort dates linearly in a list. ISO 8601.
Hungarian is close enough
YYYY.MM.DD
I can be OK with that
But not with having elected the Trump of EU
Bro, trump is learning from Orbán if anything Trump is the US Orbán, fuck both of them too

It's frustrating that people are so bad at dates that ISO8601 lives rent-free in my head because I constantly have to tell people ;)

What Americans are calling people idiots for saying (day) of (month)? We say it both ways all the time. 4th of July, July 4th... it's not a complicated thing.
That is a weird one: every other date is “normal” order but for some reason this is an exception. Also weird that we call it with backward date more often than its actual holiday name
- July 4 is a normal date
- Independency Day is the name of the holiday
- so why do we usually refer to it as “Fourth of July”
We don’t say July 4 because that’s a normal date, we don’t say Independence Day because there are so many of those on different days for different countries.
It’s like saying USAians don’t have a sense of humour. Some USAians are MAGAt knob heads, some are perfectly reasonable people. More or less like anywhere else.
We say it thats way for the benefit of the British.
Very independent.
I like DD MON YYYY. Feels very grand and unambiguous, but people always look at me funny for using it.
I've been told I need to redo paperwork because I marked the date like 12APR2025.
I get standardization for computers, but for something a person is going to look at I feel like it's very direct, needs no explanation or interpretation. Anyone who sees it should be able to figure it out instantly.
There is very little room for interpretation even if you don't know the date format. That's BS.
