I thought about doing a kilogram conversion, but decided it would be a fun little puzzle to unravel for half of the forum 
For the brits in here, I should have thrown in a stone conversion.

6:30am here for me, I just read that and I literally started to salivateā¦

Why canāt we all just use ISO 8601 
YYYY-MM-DD makes logical sense, plus it makes sorting by timestamp an absolute breeze.

For you, I guess the Shanghai webshop of Zotter might be a good starting point
Sadly, they have even less flavours than the US shopā¦
No idea if they would ship from Austria to NZā¦^^
To be honest, that date-thing is completely not understandable for meā¦ I mean, day / month / year is okay. Turning it around, year / month / day, makes sense as well. But that format? I just donāt get it, and Iām always confused by itā¦
edit: hey Pilgrim, if you edit my posts, at least do so without spelling mistakes! 
You think itās bad, you should try living here after cough cough years in the UK. I am still confused by dates and building floor numbers.
As for vaccines, why are you all so slow.

Yeah, thatās the thing with high ranks here - with great power comes great possibilities to mess stuff up
Though I donāt know whatās the problem with ordering a mere 1.6kg of wonderful chocolateā¦ I mean, I had to get to the free-shipping-point, you know?

I was just going to say the same thing
Controversial post
I think it makes sense if you think about it
When someone tells me something is happening and gives me a date, the first thing you try to figure out is how soon it is in a general sense
Telling you itās happening on the 27th doesnāt tell you if itās a few days away or 8 months away
So you get month first to know general context, then the specific date
Itās usually assumed to be the same year, so thatās saved for the end as either a confirmation or a unique modifier
I think it comes more from the way people say datesā¦
Do you say āDecember 12thā or ā12th of Decemberā? The former seems more common in the US and the latter in the UK. Of course the reverse could be just as trueā¦
Agreed itās a regional thing
But think of it like this
If I say the apex is coming out the 17th of ā¦
The first bit of information does nothing until you receive the second
If I say the rent is due august ____
You are already providing context for what follows
I agree, but the nice thing about the year at the beginning though is it removes ambiguity, especially online. With DD-MM-YYYY and MM-DD-YYYY both existing, you donāt immediately know which is which in a lot of cases. 04-06-2021, for example. Is it April or June?
Since YYYY-DD-MM isnāt a thing, having the year at the beginning automatically tells you the exact format itās going to be in, removing ambiguity.
i often name certain files like thisā¦ 2021.05.04 is the May 4th, 2021ā¦

You appear to have a fencepost error somewhere.

What was it Arthur C Clarke said? Any sufficiently advanced editing is indistinguishable from Magic? Something like that.

I believe it was foundation seriesā¦ and I heard it was being made in live action like years agoā¦ wonder if it will ever get done.
I talked about it above, but YYYY-MM-DD is sweet sweet ISO 8601.
My favorite date format.
YYYY-DD-MM doesnāt really exist, though, afaik.
