What is objectively the best format to represent dates? What format do you use?

Pic related.

At a glance I can see what day it is, what month it is and what day of the month it is. Beats every other format in terms of usefulness.

>there are people who have the year visible in the Windows clock, even thought it literally only changes once a year

Also, 24 hour master race here.

DMY
24 hour clock
Only show date when you hover over the clock.

Anything else is underage banned.

>>34455227
>DMY
Specifically? is it DD MMMM YYYY? Or just DD MM YYYY?

>Only show date when you hover over the clock.
That is retarded.

Year/month/day

It's so much better for categorization.
When I write my journals, I have a folder for years, and in those years I have months, and in those months I have days. That's how categorization should be.

ISO date is better

YYYY:MM:DD
This is the only acceptable format. This is how numbers actually work and also it sorts alphabetically.
The reversed Yuro one is okay, at least it makes sense just the wrong way around.
American dates are fucking retarded and make no sense no matter which way you look at it because they go in the order of which place has the most possible digits, rather than the actual value of the place.
>>
yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss

It's hierarchical and therefore unambiguous. Every other datetime representation is utterly retarded, tho I will accept UTC offset at the end of that string, but OP is clearly talking about displaying localtime to oneself.
>>
>>34456150
.. because it's sooo visually parseable.

If you want to have an irritating date/time representation on your clock why not just use unix time?

I'm aware that Imgur.com will stop allowing adult images since 15th of May. I'm taking actions to backup as much data as possible.
