Someone asks about the perfect date, expecting some romantic answer about candlelit dinners or sunset walks. Instead, they get DD/MM/YYYY—the objectively superior date format that eliminates all ambiguity. Because nothing says "I love you" quite like proper data standardization.

The response "Other formats can be confusing really" is chef's kiss. Looking at you, MM/DD/YYYY users who somehow convinced themselves that putting the month before the day makes sense. It's like organizing files as YYYY/MM/DD but someone had a stroke halfway through.

Pro tip: If you really want to impress, go full ISO 8601 with YYYY-MM-DD. Now THAT'S romance—sortable, unambiguous, and internationally recognized. Your database will thank you.
