I originally posted this on the other site back when I took the picture, and it resulted in a lot of confused comments, especially from Americans, eventually getting removed by overzealous mods. Either way, I promise you that this date does not exist, and has never existed.

    It’s usually easy to determine which order the person commenting observes too, just from context. I’ve never understood the confusion.

      Yeah, especially with something like 03/04/07 12:47 AM

      The likes of this date and time are just evil because not only you may mistake day for month or even year, but also 12 AM in some places precedes 1 AM while in other places it precedes 1 PM.

      I’m almost convinced that an additional info with a UNIX timestamp must be always shown to be used as a ground truth wherever a date is presented

        I agree it can be confusing if presented without context or explanation, but in most cases one can easily determine order (e.g., OP’s post)
