      Oh shit yeah ISO 8601, that’s cool.

      Thought it was like the stupid M/D/Y thing.

      Wow ok. Do they do that in practice? Like in Australia we measure everything in metric… except for all the things we measure in imperial.

        Live in China, yes it’s consistently applied. But they also spell it out, i.e. today’s date would be 2023年10月4日 (year-month-day / nian-yue-ri), so the order is unmistakably.

      So one of the only countries that does it correctly. (Day Month Year is just as wrong as Month Day Year)
