minus-squaredb2@sopuli.xyzlinkfedilinkarrow-up87·3 years agoAug 9, 2023 and 08/09/23 literally say the same thing.
minus-squareCosmoVerde@kbin.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up92·3 years agoThey do but one informs the reader of the order of the format while the other doesn’t.
minus-squareandrew@lemmy.stuart.funlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up54·3 years agoLook it’s easy, you just wait until the 13th of the month to figure out which format it is. Is 12 days really so much to ask?
minus-squareharl3k1n@feddit.delinkfedilinkarrow-up16·3 years agoAugust 9th 2023 would be 09.08.2023 in Germany though 😉
minus-squareivanafterall@kbin.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up9·3 years agoAlso changing it to periods doesn’t avoid confusion about the order. Also pretty sure we fought a whole war over not being like the Germans, so…
minus-squareharl3k1n@feddit.delinkfedilinkarrow-up4·3 years agoIt’s quite simple really. The order is “small to big”. You start with the smallest unit, in this case the day. Then follows the next largest unit, the month, and finally the year. Basically the same as in the top picture, but in reverse order.

minus-squaredroans@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up5·3 years agoIt’s only ambiguous because there’s a second standard.
minus-squareOdiousmachine@feddit.delinkfedilinkarrow-up1·3 years agoIs 08/09/2023 August or September? What about 08.09.2023? Do you see where the problem lies?
minus-squareglad_cat@lemmy.sdf.orglinkfedilinkarrow-up17·3 years ago08/09/23 literally says the 8th day of september.
minus-squaredeejay4am@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·3 years agoNo, the second one says “Sept. 8th 2023” and that last panel is obviously British (you can tell by the teeth) /s
