For anyone curious it's 25/07/2025 in metric calendars.

[–] reev@sh.itjust.works 26 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Thank you, I thought it was the 7th of Quinquember.

[–] wh0_cares@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 1 month ago

It would actually be the 7th of Trivigintember, since the month names start counting with March as 1

Don't you hate it when there suddenly are 13 additional months in your year?

[–] AtariDump@lemmy.world 13 points 1 month ago (1 children)

You mean the superior date format; 2025/07/25

[–] rumschlumpel@feddit.org 34 points 1 month ago (4 children)

That's a file path, THIS is a date format: 2025-07-25

Finally, some good fucking ISO around here!

[–] AtariDump@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

You’re right; I was so close.

[–] squaresinger@lemmy.world 0 points 1 month ago

That's a file name, THIS is a date format: 25.07.2025

How about 25-206 or 2025-W30-5.

Edit: the ISO8601 spec includes these

Julian dates suck, but not as much as the standard date formats.

[–] Fiery@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Both versions above actually are part of the ISO8601 spec though, as week dates and ordinal dates.

[–] GreyEyedGhost@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 month ago

One more reason RFC3339 is better than ISO8601?

In all honesty, the big problem with Julian dates are they aren't readable for most people, if they even recognize what they are. In specific industries, it's an acceptable format, with minimal ambiguity. Now, do we talk about how my company puts the year after the date?
