@mischievoustomato Nah... I double checked.
Must be a mistake on your side.

@LukeAlmighty hmmm june?

@mischievoustomato
Oh, I get your confusion.
It's July right now.

@LukeAlmighty but your screenshot is from june

@mischievoustomato
No, it's from today you silly.

@LukeAlmighty but it doesn't say its from today

@mischievoustomato
It does. As I said, it's no longer june.

Don't worry, it's a common mistake.

@LukeAlmighty then show a proper scteenshot

@mischievoustomato
Fine... Here you go.

@mischievoustomato
Also, don't worry about the hours, that is because I do not live in the US.
Time zones are an amazing thing.

@LukeAlmighty me neither

@LukeAlmighty that's from a month ago

@mischievoustomato
Nah... It's no longer june.

@mischievoustomato @LukeAlmighty Not everyone uses the dumb US way of writing dates

Whoever made the iso standard upside down and the retarded euro D m y standard right side up needs to be sent to the gas chambers

@sampler @phnt @mischievoustomato
In western countries, you are reading from up down, and a volume of a day is lesser then a volume of an year.

So, the graph seems ok to me.

@LukeAlmighty @sampler @mischievoustomato And if you sort DMY in terms of importance from least to most, you get the same result. Days are less important than months in terms of months and years are more important than months.

@phnt @LukeAlmighty @mischievoustomato
It's quite disingenuous to depict the sane and rational international standard as being "upside down". Dmy is almost as bad as mdy. One of the best arguments in favor of ymd: sorts nicely!

Dmy is like twelve hour time: it works but people should really know better. (anyone who says 12pm or 12am should be slowly lowered into a cauldron of boiling oil)

@sampler @phnt @mischievoustomato
DMY is rational.
You plan 95% of your decisions on a daily bases. What you're going to do in 1 hour is what you need to know.

The 4.5% of the remaininjg is what you'll do tomorow, day after, and literally for the rest of the month.
Things you're planning outside of that are rare... About 0,5% of things you're thinking of. Etc.

Closest things require no further info. Therefore you just say the day. If you need to extend, then you do. But if not, then the day is enough. The day goes first.

@sampler @phnt @mischievoustomato
When you want to meet up with friends in two hours, you don't say:
Let's meet up on this year, this month, this day and in 2 hours. You just say in 2 hours.

If you want to meet up tomorow, the same rule follows.

It's not rocket science. It's just efficient.

@LukeAlmighty @phnt @mischievoustomato
Explain to me why day month year (ascending) hour minute second (descending) makes more sense than year month day hour minute second (consistently descending)

If you want to meet a friend in ninety minutes do you say "let's meet in 30 minutes and 1 hour" or "let's meet in 1 hour and 30 minutes"?

@sampler @phnt @LukeAlmighty @mischievoustomato I'm fairly sure DMY was the common way to write down and speak out loud the dates before computers were around. At least in the West.

@slipgate @phnt @LukeAlmighty @mischievoustomato I'm fairly sure people rode on horses and in horse-drawn carriages before motor vehicles were around. At least in the West

@sampler @phnt @LukeAlmighty @mischievoustomato Point is, if the advantage of your method of representation is easier sorting, it should be kept so internally. Don't bother people with autistic nonsense in the UI parts.

It's 2026-07-06 19:15+0800 here

@LukeAlmighty @phnt @mischievoustomato
Go from big to small:
Year -> month -> day -> hour -> minute -> second . Makes sense right?

Dmy is like second minute hour: it's perverted and disgusting, an inversion of what is obviously correct

@mischievoustomato @LukeAlmighty Czech out that flag
