Today is 14.03. where I live....

Unfortunately there isn't a 31st April.

Who uses a dot to separate day and month?

14/03/2024 and 2024-03-14 are already 1 format too many...

People that use / to separate hours and minutes.

I think you mean 0/55/2

A lot of people use. I think it is common at least in Europe but probably varies by country.

I found the list on Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_date_formats_by_countr....

So some of Eastern Europe and Scandinavia.

d.m.y is used in several country across Europe (most certainly in Germany, Austria, Switzerland)
