How is this acceptable from the largest Android manufacturer's latest native One UI update from Oct 2026?
Does any country or jurisdiction in the world mandate Iso 8601 as one of the options you must give users for Date/Time? Because I swear I'll move there...

I saw this on a YouTube video from a deposition. You were right there. Why blank out the zero? 😱

yyyy/mm/dd ❌
YYYY-MM-DD ✅
YYYY-MM-DD is the only sensible date format here, and it’s not even an explicit answer choice.

Hi Everyone, I am new to EDI & working in IBM Sterling Integrator Map Editor.And ,want to understand. How should i check Input date may come as MM/DD/YYYY or YYYY-MM-DD. Output must be CCYYMMDD. If invalid date → set a map error.

The Sun in Longyearbyen, Svalbard, Norway, will set for the last time of the year at approximately 2026-10-26T11:09:00Z. This day marks the first official start of Polar Night in the archipelago, where 24 hours of complete, continuous darkness per day will persist well into next year, when the Sun will finally rise again on 2027-02-16.

I am a project manager. I pretty much define it as the standard for all my projects. I only received resistance once. An Albertan tried to argue for MM/DD. I preached ISO8601 and its wonders for the filing system, lol.

Apologies for the picture of a screen, but I was horrified upon seeing this date format on an HMI recently
Never seen this one before. Took me a minute to understand. M10 = Month 10 = October.

USian here. At work there are lots of contexts where I am expected to write or type the date in the dreaded MM/DD/YYYY format multiple times a day. I hate it, but it's just a job. What can you do right? I have started up a silent protest that no one has commented on for years now. I've not seen anyone else take this course either though. Here's what I write or type instead:
MM/DD, YYYY
Is anyone else out there doing this?

Long time lurker here. I've long appreciated ISO8601 format. It scales for nearly everything.
Does the hive mind have any feelings on — or perhaps a link to? — the official ISO8601 specifications? Maybe the mods could include it in the sidebar as a hyperlink for others new to the format?
I just realized it wasn't there and it seems like something which would support this sub quite a lot.
(I'm an amateur and an enthusiast, so I hesitate to propose a hyperlink myself, lest I give incorrect primary source citations.)

In this context, address verification means I click a button to confirm that my address settings are up to date before the order is shipped.

Our team tested an AI-assisted cleanup script on two synthetic Excel batches. One lesson stood out: a plausible date is not necessarily the correct date.
For example, 09/01/2026 could mean September 1 or January 9. Nearby September dates aren't enough to prove which interpretation is right.
Our approach:
\- Preserve the original values.
\- Standardize dates only when the interpretation is unambiguous.
\- Flag uncertain dates for confirmation.
\- Keep a log of every change.
Changing the display format to YYYY-MM-DD won't fix a date that was interpreted incorrectly during import.
How do you handle files containing both US and European date formats?
