Nothing beats ISO 8601, YYYY-MM-DD
RFC 3339! ISO 8601 has way too many weird formats that are allowed like today would be 2023-W41-2. See for example here.
I feel offended - W%W-%w is my preferred way of noting down dates :D
Whoa, that's a cool website!
It’s really pleasing seeing the seconds all change in unison!
Great, now I need to memorize "RFC 3339", because I officially have a new favorite date format. Thank you!
Fortunately this one is easy:
three threes equals 9 3339
RFC 3339 when you need the basics, ISO 8601 when you need something more niche. Some applications genuinely need to view the year as weeks and days of the week instead of months and days of the month.
