I'm fine with anything in the realm of yyyymmdd or reversed, as long as it isn't the confusing format that is common in the USA

I'm the only one annoyed about DD/MM/YYYY not being a date, but a date "format"?
Not only it's a recycled joke, it doesn't even make sense.

Unixtime: amateurs!
Why is there no format that gives the month in three letter abbreviation so its clear cut what it means?
That's what the us armed forces do. Jun-12-2025
When talking about the date with another human, DD/MM (+YYYY if required); when doing anything related to the sorting of files by date, YYYY/MM/DD.
YYYYMMdd is best for file names.
