For me it’s simple.

Start with the smallest, make your way up.

No you go from the least amount of options to the most

Months (only 12), Day (28, 29, 30, or 31), and year (infinite)

Actually, there’s a third way, YYYY/MM/DD, used in many countries too, which I think is logical too since you go from the longest period of time (year) to the shortest (day).

DD/MM/YYYY is the most commonly used and is equally logical; however I never fully understood why MM/DD/YYYY was even a thing. It just doesn’t make any sense. Going from month to day, and back to year.

Just cause we changed stuff to be our own country doesn’t mean we are stupid.

I didn’t say it was stupid, I just said DD/MM/YYYY was more logical and easier to understand, and it’s pretty easy to see why.
