Maybe in programming or technical documentation, but no, when I check the date I want to know the day and the month, beyond that, it's all unnecessary information for everyday use, and we have it right in Europe.
You can't change my mind. ¯(ツ)_/¯

You can’t change my mind.
That's not a good thing. That attitude limits you from improving how you do things because you've gotten emotionally attached to some arbitrary ... never mind. Have a nice day.

just nitpicking, but technically ISO 8601 does not (currently) permit the omission of the year.
if information is to be omitted, it must be done in ascending order of significance, so you can omit, in order, seconds, minutes, hours, and days.
(if you omit the month, that's just the year left so why bother with ISO 8601 lmao)

Fair

You can do 1-26
I don't know what this means, also I don't have to adhere to anything, the European format works perfectly well for me, so.. ¯(ツ)_/¯

2025-01-26 so it's 26.01. It's easy to look up. All you need to know is that the date goes YYY-MM-DD (year -> month -> day). You do the same thing when you write 26.01 instead of 26.01.2025, since you are just dropping information about the year.
Starting out with "you can't change my mind" is fine but then don't argue for your point with arguments that can easily be debunked. Use whichever format you like better but don't pretend that's more than personal preference at that point.
The big argument for the iso date-time format is lexicographic ordering. If you don't care about that, then don't use it.
Just as a side-note: some european countries were in fact considering switching to the iso date-time format but didn't because it would have been an inconvenience to people already familiar with different formats. Basically the "it's better but people prefer the older format" thing we have going on in the comment sections right now.
Cheers

The metric system has entered the chat.

don’t argue for your point with arguments that can easily be debunked.
I literally said I don't know what a thing means (and now that you've explained, it's a useless instruction to give me, since all it does is add extra steps for those of us already perfectly happy with the European format lmfao), and made no assertion beyond my personal preference, kindly get off your fucking high horse.

1-26 or 01/26 is a way of writing the month and day. in this particular example, it is describing the 26th day of January, or January 26. the year is omitted in this instance because, in this context, it is a way of demonstrating how a month and day can still be conveyed in order of significance without fully adhering to ISO 8601 guidelines.
-
So it's just adding the American format (which categorically does not demonstrate how a month and day can still be conveyed in order of significance, but literally the opposite) in to the mix and not providing any help or making things any simpler lol
Thanks for explaining, but if the person who introduced the 1-26 concept in to the conversation (and could have easily just said "MM/DD" to make their point significantly clearer), or the other person with their lecture are actually trying to change my, or anyone else's mind, or make their personal preference more appealing to others, this (making things more complicated, when they are already perfectly straightforward, just not how they like it) isn't the fucking way to do it lmmfao

These people are just too far into the ISO rabbit hole. I completely agree with you that DD.MM.YYYY is the best format for everyday use.
-
the "best" format for everyday use is each individual person's personal preference.
you may be more used to DDMMYYYY due to culture, language, upbringing, and usage. in the same vein, i am more used to YYYYMMDD because in chinese we go 年月日 (year-month-day), and it makes organizing files and spreadsheet entries much more intuitive anyways.
-
Well in that case people should stop complaining about us wanting to use DD.MM.YYYY it's perfectly fine and the only format that should be shot on sight is MM.DD.YYYY

Thank you! 😂
E: I even said how I can see it being useful in some applications, but fuck, if I'm looking at the date it's almost certainly to see what day it is today, what day (and maybe month) an appointment is, what day some food is going off, stuff like that. I know what month and year it is right now, and if I want to know the time, I look at a clock, not a calendar. If they love extra and often unnecessary information so much they're free to use whatever format they want, but I'm good, and so are many others, and they just need to learn to be ok with that lmao
-
Nah. Sort that alphabetically and you end up with a useless list.
-
And sorting the other formats alphabetically does not yield the same result?
-
No...?
-
Okay I don't think I quite get which part you are sorting alphabetically here.
