I like DDMMYY but for some reason when I include the time as ss:mm:hh nobody shows up to the event on time.

I always wonder why old memes are losing pixels and quality. Like an old paper shared over the years.

because they get downloaded from say reddit and then reuploaded again a year later or so which since most sites/services compress files uploaded they get worse and worse quality

to make things as not confusing as possible, my rule of thumb is:
- yyyy-mm-dd (yyyy instead of yy ensures that it’s not mistaken for dd-mm-yy) (hyphens can be replaced with underscores)
- dd.mm.yyyy (yyyy same as above) (really dislike using for filenames, sorting doesn’t work)
- mm/dd/yyyy (only if there is no other choice) edit: mm/dd/yyyy vs mm/dd/yy doesn’t matter because both make 0 sense already edit2: i forgor to say that yyyy also avoids y2.1k and subsequent issues
