This is a normal post Yes, Pi day should be on the 3rd day of the 14th month.
Y/M/D makes the most sense. Both the British and American standards are shit, but at least D/M/Y is perfectly backwards.

This is a normal post y/m/d can be sorted alphabetically in a file structure
Any other format is less good.

Anyway, it's the only possible day to be Pi day.

Personally, I like Tau day, the weather is better.

This is a normal post The god forsaken programming language I used to work with
stored the date internally as the number of days since some entirely arbitrary date back in the 1800s....

Epochs? You don't generally need to deal with them directly unless you really want to (e.g. sorting datestamps chronologically without the overhead of having to convert them to another calendar format) and programming languages usually provide functions for dealing with date and time in human readable form.

This is a normal post Same here.
Makes even more sense when used in combination with time, as the units go from largest to smallest: YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS.

This is a normal post I prefer the dxm/lm/tby format
Days until christmas/lunar month/Tibetan year (60 year cycles starting from 1024). It's a little more complicated, but I can use element + animal icons on the year picker dropdown

“Sleeps to Christmas” makes much more sense

That would probably be better than my Mayan calendar approach, which stopped working sometime around 2012.
