It is also likely the weakest argument I've ever seen.
Literally putting the words in a shape with no basis other than that is the way they like it and then rearranging the shape into the order they don't like.
It isn't like the fist version somehow makes sense as a triangle and the words couldn't be put in different spots in the triangle.
Based on shape alone, 'Month" is the longest word so it should be at the bottom of the triangle.

The best argument is that there are international standards for this, that the US and the UK prefer again not to follow (as almost sole countries) just like the metric standard. That standard is the ISO 8601 that chooses the following order year-month-day (as primary choice) or the reverse of it, day-month-year (as secondary optiojn). Those are already the standard for centuries in the majority of the countries worldwide actually and are also the format that technical systems (like ICT) follows.

The American way is more logical because knowing the month is more important than knowing what day it is in that month.

I don't care what day you are referring to if you are planning a trip to the lake to go swimming in January. The answer will be NO regardless of the day.
The same goes for a 20 mile hike in August. The day doesn't matter.

The Hungarian way is more logical: 2024. 11. 07. so that lexical sort order is also chronological.

On a more serious note…

We really need an 'arguing about the call for humor thread' thread. Because this defeats the purpose of the thread being a humorous escape.

Any coder knows it's: yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss[.nnn]

You forgot the UTC offset. Without UTC offset you don't know what time it is. Could be way off.

Well I would want some fried bread in lieu of toast.
Maybe that's just me.

PS I like black pudding. I just don't like to think very much about it.

There are probably far worse things in most fast food.
