        Despite living in the US my whole life, I don’t subscribe to the insane mm/dd/yy ordering, it’s the most ass backwards shit. That’s why I wrote 22 July. Not sure how you got 22nd month out of that when it’s unambiguous.

          Hello! I don’t intend to convince anyone one way is better than another, but I wanted to share why I like the mm/dd/yy format.

          Simple reason, the number of possible integers increases as you go left to right.

          That’s all, got it out of my system. Thank you for reading.

            I write all my dates in military format i.e. dd MMM yyyy, so 16 MAR 2025 for today. Zero ambiguity. I also use 24H time from being in the military and living in Italy for a couple years.

          That part was unambiguous, and the month comment was clearly a joke; however, the very next line you write “22/7”. While you meant division, you accidentally wrote common date separator format, which WAS ambiguous and opened the door for the joke.

          You could have written 22 ➗ 7 to get the effect you were aiming for ;).

    Its also the birthday and death day of Akira Yoshizawa, the grandmaster of Origami who rose the craft to an art form.

    Also if you manage to die on the day of your birth by natural causes at 94 I think you deserve extra credit.

    The art is honored for his incredible work standardizing it, he really was a treasure

    No it’s not, 22/7 is more accurate than 3/14 for Pi. So 22th of July is best pi day.

      The problem about τ is that while, sure, you often have 2π but more often than not you have just π which would be τ/2 and doubling is so much easier than halving that it makes up for it
