It's the only sane dating system.

It's so funny to me that humans use numbers that are big to small, but some people are that dates should be small to big. Maybe other languages do it differently. But UK folks saying day month year is better while writing the individual number big to small is so wacky to me. Today is 2025-04-27. If they said it like "7 and 20, April, 5 and 20 two thousand" it might make more sense, but no, it's "27 April 2025".
