> YYYY-MM-DD as dictated by our excellent government

Same here in germany! ...Which is the reason why everyone ignores it in favour of the traditional format.

I love democracy, and also mountain-shaped temporal unit ordering ^ It's 28.05.2025 13:15.

Text-ordering by date is a nightmare because everything is first grouped by day-of-month, then month, then year! :)

great, now i've just wandered off wondering if there's psychology studies on the affect of one's endianness on their mental health. like, does one's parent object not show enough affection towards the middle-endian child objects vs their big-endian child objects, or will the little-endian child objects always win affection?
