As everybody knows by now it's Palindrome Week. That means that the date for every date this week is written the same forward as it is backwards. See?



What are you guys doing for Palindrome Week?

Maybe you're having palindrome contests with your friends. Or maybe you're just singing along to this. No matter what this week is sure to be full of fun.

Yeah ok but no, because the correct date format is DD/MM/YY which makes a lot more sense on account of it being in ascending order.

Well we did kinda invent time, GMT, which is used as the astronomical standard so I guess that gives us the right don't it.

this is sad like bragging about how an entirely upside down pyramid makes a lot more sense than a pyramid with sections above the base upside down
the only correct order is most significant figures to the left and least significant figures to the right with leading zeroes 2015/05/11 18:30:00.00

other systems have pros and cons relative to each other but mostly just cons compared to the best system

Spoken like someone who doesn't ever work with computers. If you always keep things in year/month/day order then everything stays in numerical order, if you go day/month/year you screw everything up.
