there isn't a 16th month you silly goose

Bigger values first, like standard numbers. That's how it sits correctly using alphabetical order. MM/dd.

So you use year/month/day right? Right!??

ISO8601 gang rise up.

YES! But when there's absolutely no ambiguity on the year, it can be skipped... Feels weird though.

100%

And I name all of my filenames by YYYYMMDD and then the relevant name. Vastly superior and naturally intuitive. I also accept DDMMYYYY but I'm in the US and it's not as intuitive for others around here

Your way is automatically sorted by date when sorting by name and that's just, oh , uhhjh nnnnnngggg ahh.

Please excuse me as I change my pants

Or — hear me out — or you could sort by name if you want to sort by name and sort by modification date if you want to sort by modification date – and get this – sort by creation date if you want to sort by creation date.

No need to shove two pieces of information in the same field.

But creation date and or modification date aren't always the dates I want to sort by, so I use the same convention yyyy-mm-dd_name for most of my filenames too. It works for me, shoving those pieces of information all up in there. Lovin some shovin.

Superior? I don't think so.

Should be yyyy/mm/dd, not "year"/mm/dd... Come on!

follow up: is the poop deck really what i think it is?

Kolanaki@pawb.social · 8 pts · 284d

Yes. It's the top deck where all the birds shit.

TIL

In naval architecture, a poop deck is a deck that forms the roof of a cabin built in the rear, or "aft", part of the superstructure of a ship. The name originates from the French word for stern, poupe, from Latin puppis. Thus the poop deck is technically a stern deck, which in sailing ships was usually elevated as the roof of the stern or "after" cabin, also known as the "poop cabin".

I like the cut of your poop knife

We pronounce it "gib" in my house and it means gibblet

I like how the eyeballs pop out of their sockets

SirSamuel@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 284d

I gave my girlfriend the generous gift of a giant giraffe from Georgia, going gently and with a gallant gamble that the geriatric gentlemen will digest the gist of this generation.

It's pronounced gif

With a knife!
