Took me a while, then realised there is a country that uses whack date formatting. dd/mm/yyyy is the true king. All others shall bow.
- yyyy/mm/dd is the one true date
  
  Only for file storage organisation. But I'll agree on that use case only.
  
  Yeah ymd is better than any alternative by a tenfold
I do not get it :( can someone explain please?
- In the US, it's still Thursday Oct. 5th (10/05) right now as I write this. So yesterday was Wednesday October 4, which could be written as 10-4, which as another comment pointed out is a code well known in popular culture meaning roughly "yes". ("Acknowledged")
- 10-12… https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ten-code
  
  Is there a way to say No in Ten code.
So bad! Lol
- Found the ISO 8601 enthusiast.
  
  No, assuming year first it's already in the right order for ISO 8601
  They likely live outside the US, somewhere where it's already Friday, so "no" is just the answer to the question for them.
