- Tomte 2y agoGermany uses DD.MM.YY(YY). Dashes are for weirdos like me, and only for ISO dates, never DD-MM-YYYY.
- hu3 2y agoIt's more about the order DD MM YYYY than the separators.
- bryanlarsen 2y agoHard disagree. The separator choice implies different ordering to me and to many others.
- OJFord 2y agoOk what's 2/8/24 in words?
- lamontcg 2y ago2nd of August, 2024 or Feb 8th, 2024.
- OJFord 2y agoExactly. Choice of the separator '/' doesn't disambiguate.
- bryanlarsen 2y agoIt does in my jurisdiction. 2/8/24 is usually m/d/y, 2-8-24 is usually d-m-y, 2024-2-8 is always y-m-d.
- OJFord 2y ago> It does in my jurisdiction. 2/8/24 is usually m/d/y, 2-8-24 is usually d-m-y Where is that? I would guess this is more like 'most people use /' and 'most people where I am use month first'; therefore those using - separation are weirdo Europeans/rest of world putting the day first.
- manuel_w 2y agoFebruary 8th, 2024 a.k.a. 2024-02-08 a.k.a. 08.02.2024.
- OJFord 2y agoIn your country maybe, and it narrows it down to approximately one.
- hu3 2y agotwo slash eight slash twenty four
- lcnPylGDnU4H9OF 2y agoI never knew that, actually. I developed a habit of writing my dates with dashes instead of slashes because I thought the latter looked too much like the number 1. Makes me wonder how many people I've confused after they read paperwork I dated. I currently do ISO order with forward-slash as a separator, which might be similarly confusing.
- bryanlarsen 2y agoThere are systems out there that do YYYY/DD/MM. AFAICT YYYY-DD-MM is only used by evil pranksters, so a date that starts with a 4 digit number and uses dashes is relatively safely assumed as YYYY-MM-DD.
- Repulsion9513 2y agoThe order is common throughout much of the world. The separators (especially with that order) are not.
- distances 2y ago> Germany uses DD.MM.YY(YY) And I assume this is the usual one in Europe in general for a human-readable context, like within a sentence. And as you said, dashes only in YYYY-MM-DD which is hopefully used always in any data context.
- platelminto 2y agoNever really seen it in several European countries
- piotrke 2y agoOh my, you needed chatgpt to check that? ;) Btw, it is a kind of useful to have the date ordered in the obvious minor to major way...
- mulmen 2y agoWould you write the time as SS:MM:HH? DD-MM-YYYY isn’t as logical as you think. If it was actually consistent then it would be 82-20-0002. Only ISO 8601 and friends are consistently arranged. Anything else is simply a convention that makes sense to those accustomed to it.

- hu3 2y agoI don't need AI to check this info. In the same way I don't need a car if I have a horse :) I could have spent much more time compiling the same information myself. You're free to keep using horses though.
- Izkata 2y agoFor this in particular you don't need to spend time on it, it's already been done: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_date_formats_by_country https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_date_formats_by_countr...
- hu3 2y agoindeed. Thank you for the link kind one
- jraph 2y agoYou don't need a car to go to your neighbor. But it's actually worse than that: while both the car and the horse will correctly move you from A to B, you can't cite an LLM output as a source and can't use it to check something. You can use it as a source of inspiration at best. Here your LLM output is wrong. Someone from Germany wrote they most commonly use dots, in France we use slashes and I think countries around all do one of the other. So yes, there's no way around doing it like we always did: find a reputable source to back a statement. And ChatGPT does not do this. Better use a horse than a roulette.
- chungy 2y agoIt looks weird to me too, but it's hardly indecipherable. You have a four-digit year (2000), there's only 12 months in the year, so the "28" is the day and "03" is the month. In ISO 8601 format, it'd be 2000-03-28. In American written format, it'd be March 28, 2000.
- beeboobaa3 2y agoWhat's weird about the most common date format in the world, dd-mm-yyyy?
- mjevans 2y agoISO8061 or RFC3339 are the only correct date formats; though if for some forsaken reason your ledger starts accounts on the right hand page and treats the left as part of a prior record, then placing the least frequently changing part of the date to the edge of the page is good as a primitive index. https://xkcd.com/1179/ https://xkcd.com/1179/ https://ijmacd.github.io/rfc3339-iso8601/ https://ijmacd.github.io/rfc3339-iso8601/ https://stackoverflow.com/questions/522251/whats-the-difference-between-iso-8601-and-rfc-3339-date-formats https://stackoverflow.com/questions/522251/whats-the-differe...
- beeboobaa3 2y agoSure, for data-interchange. Good luck convincing normies.
- chungy 2y agoI've never encountered that particular format before, and based on that, I'll question the claim of "most common", but even still, I could understand what was meant.
- beeboobaa3 2y agoHave you ever left the united states?
- 2y ago
- OJFord 2y agoMost non-programmers use dd-mm-yy[yy], despite 'March 28th' & 28-03 being the norm in America.
- db48x 2y agoThat is an odd way to round it, now that you mention it.
- piotrke 2y agoYeah. Honestly, I would wait those couple of months and fix it on the silver anniversary... :P
