BTW, the correction in the post has the year as 2026 instead of 2025.

It's always useful to be able to use the operation it can provide to check if your data is a Numberwang.

Sounds a bit like the UK series Troubleshooter from the 90s. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Troubleshooter_(TV_series)

I'd be more concerned about Lego setting up a factory in a country with very poor labour laws compared to most countries in that list, than the stability of Denmark.

"wrong" was in reference to the post being replied to.

The majority of English speakers and people in general don't speak American English, so it makes zero sense to default to "M/D/Y", unless the user explicitly states to use American English, over a more logical order, ideally Y-M-D.

Pretty much all defence in this thread of M/D/Y is just American exceptionalism.

They are both "wrong" compared to big-endian, but M/D/Y is by far the least logical of the three formats.

M/D/Y should never be a default for any software without the user explicitly selecting it or specifying their country.
