It's a public holiday in Australia for ANZAC day.

For many people it's the one day of the year where they get to before sunrise.

We go out to the war memorials and hold dawn services all across the country

What an extraordinary location dependant answer

I’d say perfect date is dd-mm-yyyy. All other formats are just wrong

[–] homesnatch@lemm.ee 7 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Terrible date format.. Not sortable numerically and often confused with mm-dd-yyyy.

yyyy-mm-dd is the only way

[–] T0RB1T@sh.itjust.works 2 points 11 months ago

YYYY-MM-DD if I'm inputting on a computer.

But I've recently converted to YYYY-MMM-DD for anything handwritten.

Because if someone is able to confuse 2024-APR-27 then they're the problem.

But the former format is better for digital sorting.

The reverse even sorts itself.

I'll bite, describe YOUR perfect date!

We rob the local CVS and then buy the most expensive bottle of champagne at the local Kroger and then get into a shootout with local police.

Think federal, crime local.

Anything april is too unpredictable. We had a cold wave with 6°C last week. Goes now up to 25°C next week.

It's a scholarship program.

It’s rainy, but cool and wonderful.

Earlier in the month it was nice, now it's just raining.
