For me, the only format that doesn't make sense is the MM/DD/YYYY, together with its rarely seen worse sibling, MM/DD/YY (07/27/26).

You mean a Big Endian.

You can sort dates and they are in order with this format.

Y2K100 bug for you, then ;)

It's good because it's an actual standard instead of 7/27 which is backwards for half the world. Besides, I'm actually from the future and they delayed the model a year, learning from Anthropic that good models are actually about to bring the end of society.

Or 27.7. in some other places.

Have never seen 27-7, as someone in rest-of-world

Nope,

There are quite some countries around the world using d/m/y

Algeria, Belgium, Brazil, Chile...

I've never seen dd-mm-yy. It's usually dd.mm.yy, dd.mm.yyyy, or yyyy-mm-dd, with some dd/mm/yy sprinkled in for general confusion.

Not really. Spain's traditional format is dd/mm/yyyy with slashes. This applies for a good chunk of Europe. Germany/Austria uses dot, I think nordic countries embraced the dash. While you might see more adoption in offical/digital contexts, I just double checked a few popular spanish websites, all slashes.

This is so confidently wrong it's funny. In Australia dd/mm/yy is the default.

You mean 27.7

27–7 would be 20.

Don't even have to go that far, outside of white-collar jobs and some groups weirdly obsessed with scheduling, most people don't use calendars at all, but their manager/boss/significant-other does that for them :)
