August 30 would be 30.08.2024.

Nope, 2024-08-30

This is the only rational order, descending in order of magnitude.

How do you abbreviate a date in YYYY/MM/DD format?
In the DD/MM/YYYY format I can tell someone I am available to meet on 26/07; the year is known contextually as it only changes once a year.
If I start to tell people I am available 26/07 am I available for all of July in 2026?

YY/MM/DD or casual short MM/DD (where the year is understood). It's no different, you just skip the year if it's a given 😄 But for archival purposes, file naming etc, the YYYY part is mandatory.

07-26, surely?

Wait really? Your first example is also ambiguous for 12 years out of every 100

Nope, it's 30 \ 24 / 08

Relevant XKCD

way to long just short it down: 3248
clearly the best way to show date

2024-08-30, but yes. Is that a German notation? Boo! ISO8601/RFC3339 or DEAAAAATH!
