Day/month/year is not in the same category as y/m/d. That crap is so ambiguous. Is today August 9th? Or September 8th? Y/m/d to the rescue.

It's only ambiguous to Americans.

[–] Drusenija@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

Or anyone who has to work with Americans. Especially when you also work with other countries as well. You can't assume dd/mm/yyyy or mm/dd/yyyy blindly in either case. yyyy-mm-dd solves the issue entirely because both sides at least agree that yyyy-dd-mm isn't a thing.

You're almost there, just use - instead of / and everyone knows what you mean
