Wrong, the date is 2024-06-12.
Finally some culture in this thread.

2024, June 12.
Why isn’t the long form like this as well? Especially since the year is the most important info anyway when it comes to things like studying history.
Actually, on second thought, computers would organize things by alphabetical order this way which would seem weird.
You don’t need the comma when you write it this way. The comma in June 12, 2024, is there exactly because it’s the wrong order.
It’s basically “I wrote the date. Oops, forgot the year!”
Computers order it correctly in that format because that’s the correct format. In the same way a computer will order any other correctly formatted numbers in the correct order - and incorrectly formatted numbers in the incorrect order - it shouldn’t be surprising that they order correctly formatted dates in the correct order.
Because precise dates are used much more commonly contemporaneously than they are for historical purposes. This is so true that the year is commonly omitted, as it is assumed and understood by all parties without mention.
Got it.
Half dozen, dozen, two dozen in the US.
It finally paid off! Today is the day our system makes sense!Two dozen, half dozen, dozen in ISO land.
Patiently waiting for 2024-12-06 to repost this.
Biggest to smallest is the only sane format. yyyy-mm-dd h:m:s
Thank you for this. I’m going to use it at work.
And in the mm/dd/yy format it’s also 2x ascending.
This is what shower thoughts should be! Thank you!
Indeed, it dozen.
Everyone arguing about date formats, yet no one yelling about a dozen being an outdated measurement because it’s not base 10.
Base twelve gang
All you guys do is complain about how much the price of 10 eggs has gone up.
It’s shrinkflation!! 10 eggs for the price of 12!
12 is a far superior number to 10. It is sacrilege that we started using 10 instead of 12.
A bakers dozen reasons why
The future is now old man! Ditch your antiquated base 10 numbering system and embrace the future of hexadecimal!
12 is so much more divisible
Tomorrow it will be baker’s dozen, half dozen, two dozen.
GOD DAMNIT! For the first time, the stupid American date format is more interesting.
