Did a search, but came up empty, so hope it's no dupe.

We are working on a piece of software at work and got a request to change the date format from  MDY to DMY. That got one of our guys to looking at what countries support which formats. He found this image:


And then he found this screenshot of the "Unconfirmed terrorist video":


Note the countries that use that format.

Excuse me while I get some more tinfoil.....

You work on software and can't hotlink or embed pics? Please name your company so we can avoid it.

Thanks

Yeah, because people change their camera date dispay format every time they cross a border, and dumbass terrorists know how to set the damn format to begin with.

There is only one international date standard, ISO-8601, and this random dickhead in a headscarf is its prophet.

YYYY-MM-DD ackbar!

Chinese terrorists smuggled Lithuanians across the border into Greenland, but they forgot to change the camcorder's date format.

LONDON -- Police on Tuesday identified the man who blew himself up the previous night at an Ariana Grande concert in Manchester, England, as 22-year-old Salman Abedi. CBS News confirmed Abedi was known to British authorities prior to the attack.  

In a generic statement posted online, the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) claimed responsibility for Abedi's suicide bomb attack, which left 22 people dead, including children, at one of the entrances to the Manchester Arena.

It isn't that uncommon - and has become more common in the modern computer age.

I often use that notation, especially for naming files, as it orders them correctly.

I've seen it used in writing more often over the last few years.

If there were Lithuanians involved the only terror would be the one that creeps into your brain around 5AM about the impending hangover you're setting yourself up for as you started drinking with them around 9, and they're still drinking, which makes you keep drinking so as not to look like a pussy, and no one is going to quit drinking until everyone in the room has passed out...and even then some of them will find a way to keep drinking, somehow. And  obviously no one will know where the rental car actually wound up somewhere during all of that; but everyone knows it's probably best to not know.

Been there, done that.

Probably the dreaded mix and match where years and days are numbers but months are identified with 3 letters.   JAN, FEB, MAR...
