The great way to imply that non-Americans are not "like a human".

If I say March 30, the year number is implied (probably this year) and I probably have omitted it because it is not as important enough to say again.

If I say 2023-03-30, the year number is probably important. Might not that important, but at the least I'm looking for future readers who might not realize that I've made this comment in 2023. The year number is thus as important as month and day of month here, so consistency matters more. And the American mixed endian date format is as inconsistent as mixed byte endianness (which is thankfully gone by now).

Well this takes the cake for the most bad faith reading I’ve ever seen on HN.
