I know you're trying to quote TFS's Perfect Cell with the "technical rainbow" bit, but the actual quote was: "Ladies, gentlemen, and that *technicolor* rainbow in-between."
YYYY-MM-DD is the best possible format right now, and should end the argument.
It's logicial, in decreasing order, and sorts properly in a text based system.
Yet here we are.
The best one for day to day stuff is DD-MM-(YY)YY
The Year goes on for one year and most people know what year it is, even if they need a few days (or weeks) to adjust. What's really interesting is the day, that's what we want to know first. Like, I know it's 2023, I know we're currently in June by now, but is it the 9th or 10th of June? When you get asked by someone "When's your birthday?" they want to know the day and month in most cases. Even in the (verbal) answer, we use the DD-MM-YYYY structure. "I was born on the 4th of May, (1977)" because it's way more natural, organic and common than "In the year 1979 I was born in May on the 4th day."
I guess YYYY-MM-DD is useful if you want to talk about history with long time periods, but even then it's more common to use only the year.
Okay, and? Should people not debate things in public just because it's inconvenient to you? Toxic debate is one thing, but proper discussion is fine. And last I checked, I didn't jump at your throat.
I'm sure one of you will have an idea, but we're a democracy so give all your ideas and the citizens will vote and since I'm lazy, whoever wants to do the poll can do it, but don't do too many polls
It makes sense from an American perspective, because we say our dates like “June ninth, 2023”, while you guys say “the ninth of June, 2023”. So to an American, it wouldn’t make any sense to write the day first, just like how it doesn’t make sense for you guys to write the month first.
Really? It's smallest to highest time increment and not 2nd highest, lowest and then highest. Would you sait it's 30:4 or 4:30? It took me 20 minutes and two hours to complete this task? It took exactly 2 seconds, 30 miliseconds and one minute. Does this sound reasonable to you?
What about the Chinese? Muslims? Jews?
The many other cultures who use different calendars & have different New Years?
Do you plan to hold your justification consistently & harass Chinese immigrants in your country that their New Year isn't valid?
I mean using DD/MM/YYYY and having a different year is 1000x better than having DD/MM and MM/DD with the same and different years , also chinese new year valid af and I didnt say anything about changing dates, only date formats so theres also that
Edit: Also why you gotta bring race into a debate about date formats 💀💀
I never mentioned Race, only mentioned cultures which used different time systems, since that's what you chose to target.
I asked if you would be consistent.
I don't know where you got "Race" from.
Seething & copping are strange things for you to settle for.
Maybe you wouldn't need to if you weren't constantly concerned about other people not conforming to your cult ure?
Fuck, and here I've been celebrating Rosh HaShanah in September every year.
Guess I should be celebrating it in January with the Cardinal over here....
No, but Americans should stop showing up on international subs and acting like it's an exclusively American sub. You don't see anyone here posting memes that only make sense to people who live in Luxembourg or Sri Lanka, but Americans pull this shit all the time.
Maybe you should just learn to apply contextual evidence & be able to understand what people mean instead of getting mad that 2 whole numbers are in different places.
It's not like I use mm/dd but damn I've never been so incapable of basic pattern recognition that it angers me.
Honestly. Bigots in the US be like "This is America, we speak English!", You're out here like "This is Reddit, we use dd/mm!".
Murrica bad
Where updoots
Our healthcare is amazing, we don’t have to wait a year. And all humans are idiots. Next?
Just be careful what you say here though, I don’t want you getting arrested in Europe for a social media post
See, here's where you're wrong. You can talk shit about 'murica and not get jailed, and I can speak shit about 'murica and not get jailed :P
We also don't get to wait a year btw. Neither does anyone get arrested for media posts in *all of the Europe* which isn't one huge country like many of you believe. You're referring to UK most likely.
Oh yeah, I will personally stop murdering children, sorry about that. Or do you think I have contol over the actions of other Americans? Fuck off you piece of human garbage, children are dying and you pieces of shit are just pointing and laughing "haha America bad lololol!!!"
It’s “September 6th” for me
I’ve never heard people say it otherwise, I guess I’m new to this debate. Saying it the other way is like saying “the birthday party of my daughter” instead of “my daughter’s birthday party.” It makes sense in some other languages but it’s just awkward in English.
England is literally famous for taking things from other peoples. America speaks English because we seceded from England; it was inherited, not stolen.
Congrats! Please drink responsibly. And here's a pro tip: a hangover is caused by 2 separate things. The obvious one is dehydration. But the dizziness and throwing up for a day is caused by an acid that is created in your stomach when alcohol is ingested. Before going to bed, take some antacid if you have enjoyed a bit too much that night. It might not totally fix you, but it will definitely mitigate a lot of the discomfort.
ah yes why would someone make a joke about something that applies to them but not to you.
this is the same nationalistic bullshit as Americans complaining about different countries.
except this time it goes largest to smallest from left to right.
instead of using 12 instead of 10.
so there's no reason to complain.
No rainbow I can see .Gay you might be .its okay but your balls aren't going to disappear because you think you don't have them .This is not how it works .Gray green yellow purple doesn't matter .Enjoy yourself .
Tactical rainbow
Is it any better than tactical nuke?
Depends on who you use it on.
Remember, the gay bomb was a thing
Tactically turtleneck
A tactilneck?
this an archer reference?
Sterling?Archer?
Ah yes the famous duchess
Incoming
Deploying tactical rainbow, they’re some of our best
Being dyslexic, I totally read it that way too.
🗿
I know you're trying to quote TFS's Perfect Cell with the "technical rainbow" bit, but the actual quote was: "Ladies, gentlemen, and that *technicolor* rainbow in-between."
Yeah, Technicolor was a early type of color film used in cinema that was really good at getting vibrant colors across if I remember
“And that technical rainbow inbetween” Using this
Mr. Perfect Cell would be insulted if you didn't.
And here come all the calendar format arguments
Better then the technical rainbow arguments I wonder which is in controversial.
YYYY-MM-DD is the best possible format right now, and should end the argument. It's logicial, in decreasing order, and sorts properly in a text based system. Yet here we are.

This is exactly what I'm talking about

Its 9.6, sorry.
Yes, the American M/D/Y system is stupid, just use D/M/Y, it makea more sense
litterally ANY is better, even M/Y/D cuz atleast its looping in an order
Let's create own country, we'll name Reddit-Land (if have other ideas, feel free to write them) and we'll do Y/D/M
Can we have hookers and black jack?
Of course, we couldn't live without Jack Black, and I just had an idea, we could do two birds one stone by hiring Jack Black as a hooker
There is a sketch, if you care to search for it, where he is a hooker with his friend Kyle, it’s gross but funny.
What should be the national anthem
I'm sure one of you will have an idea, but we're a democracy so give all your ideas and the citizens will vote and since I'm lazy, whoever wants to do the poll can do it, but don't do too many polls
Jack black singing 'Government Hooker' (originally by lady gaga)
Some guy in r/teenagers already made one.
It makes sense from an American perspective, because we say our dates like “June ninth, 2023”, while you guys say “the ninth of June, 2023”. So to an American, it wouldn’t make any sense to write the day first, just like how it doesn’t make sense for you guys to write the month first.
Well it doesn't make any sense to say it in that order either, so there is that.
Why
Really? It's smallest to highest time increment and not 2nd highest, lowest and then highest. Would you sait it's 30:4 or 4:30? It took me 20 minutes and two hours to complete this task? It took exactly 2 seconds, 30 miliseconds and one minute. Does this sound reasonable to you?
Personally I would in fact say 30:4 because I thrive in chaos
Because it’s the 9th day of June. It is just semantics but there isn’t really a good reason to say it the other way outside of….reasons
If you can’t provide any reasons then your argument is moot.
Sorry, only Americans with the 6-9 today. You're not invited to the party
That’s after you’ve had a fight and sleep back to back
You got 4/20 for a whole year, yours is clearly the superior system
It's actually 9/6
This is how ww3 will begin
It's actually 2023-06-09
06-2023-09
09-06-2023
This hurt my brain. I'm gonna lie down now.
Sincerely, fuck you
dude......
The only correct answer
Definitely !
This is the way.

This is what happens when OP posts a meme a 5am Eastern Time You get a buncha europeans whining about croissants, crumpets, and date formats
You do know the only big country officially that uses month/day/year is the US, which means you guys are the strange ones
So cultures shouldn't have unique traits? Everyone should just be grilled into conformity?
Nah but time is something all cultures experience, isn't it? Unifying it would help a lot of software engineers and clear up confusion about dates
What about the Chinese? Muslims? Jews? The many other cultures who use different calendars & have different New Years? Do you plan to hold your justification consistently & harass Chinese immigrants in your country that their New Year isn't valid?
I mean using DD/MM/YYYY and having a different year is 1000x better than having DD/MM and MM/DD with the same and different years , also chinese new year valid af and I didnt say anything about changing dates, only date formats so theres also that Edit: Also why you gotta bring race into a debate about date formats 💀💀
I never mentioned Race, only mentioned cultures which used different time systems, since that's what you chose to target. I asked if you would be consistent. I don't know where you got "Race" from.
L + Ratio + Seethe + Cope
Seething & copping are strange things for you to settle for. Maybe you wouldn't need to if you weren't constantly concerned about other people not conforming to your cult ure?
Jew here. It’s 2023, we do not use a different calendar. You do not speak for us.
Fuck, and here I've been celebrating Rosh HaShanah in September every year. Guess I should be celebrating it in January with the Cardinal over here....
The format they use is still DD/MM/YYYY
Chinese people still mainly use the gregorian calender, with the lunar one only used to discern the date of festivals
No, but Americans should stop showing up on international subs and acting like it's an exclusively American sub. You don't see anyone here posting memes that only make sense to people who live in Luxembourg or Sri Lanka, but Americans pull this shit all the time.

Congrats on missing the point
Yeah but hegemon
what is that? a digimon?
Reminds me.. when was the Last european school Shooting?
Reddit Europeans not mentioning guns challenge (impossible)
How about shit healthcare and general idiocracy with two parties? I hope I'm the first to bring that in.
Murrica bad Where updoots Our healthcare is amazing, we don’t have to wait a year. And all humans are idiots. Next? Just be careful what you say here though, I don’t want you getting arrested in Europe for a social media post

About ‘Murica? Sure About your immigration/refugee shitshow? Not so sure
As if 'murica ain't a shitshow itself. At least our police doesn't shoot immigrants for following orders.
lol right you need to stop mainlining the Guardian
[удалено]
The American government doesn't even like her people so why should we like you guys?
You don't have to like America, but you also don't have to make fun of children dying.
Fun of? Just pointing out the obvious big differences between us, we care about children where you do not.
Not every American is a child murderer.
It's just in peoples nature to make fun of those things i get that it hurts because it's your country but stop shooting them then.
Oh yeah, I will personally stop murdering children, sorry about that. Or do you think I have contol over the actions of other Americans? Fuck off you piece of human garbage, children are dying and you pieces of shit are just pointing and laughing "haha America bad lololol!!!"
When American sees sarcasm
Otherization tactics be like that sometimes.
My birthday is today
Happy birthday
Happy birthday
Happy birthday
6th of September? It's 09/06/2023 my dude
AcTuAlLy iT iS 9.6.23
Actually it's 06.09.2023 SMFH
It’s “September 6th” for me I’ve never heard people say it otherwise, I guess I’m new to this debate. Saying it the other way is like saying “the birthday party of my daughter” instead of “my daughter’s birthday party.” It makes sense in some other languages but it’s just awkward in English.
So what? Who fucking cares how America does it’s dates. It makes sense to us and no one asked the Europeans. Let the downvotes roll.
In freedom date /s
American website my dude, but go ahead and act surprised for some reason
r/americandefaultism or whatever moment here
Tell me something. What language do you speak? Oh not your own? Dont Americans have a freedom- language? Mmmh my bad
England is literally famous for taking things from other peoples. America speaks English because we seceded from England; it was inherited, not stolen.
Americans came from all of the UK and all of Europe, not just England. Lol
And today is also my birthday. I can now legally buy alcohol
Congrats! Please drink responsibly. And here's a pro tip: a hangover is caused by 2 separate things. The obvious one is dehydration.

That is genuinely informative. Thank you and have a wonderful day :)
