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.
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.
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.
Interesting information.
Half dozen, dozen, two dozen in the US.
It finally paid off! Today is the day our system makes sense!Patiently waiting for 2024-12-06 to repost this.
Biggest to smallest is the only sane format. yyyy-mm-dd h:m:s
Today’s date is 2024-06-12 and no one can tell me otherwise
Tomorrow it will be baker’s dozen, half dozen, two dozen.
Indeed, it dozen.
It’s so good we will get it twice this year.
Twelve is such a great number. So divisible.
Several cultures throughout history have used base 12 for their numbering! You can count to 12 on one hand by counting the segments of your fingers (excluding the thumb).
GOD DAMNIT! For the first time, the stupid American date format is more interesting.
