The magic numbers are helpful to give you insight you missed something. I hated The Thin Red Line initially (I expected an action movie) but gave it a 2nd shot when I saw the high reviews. Enjoyed it more the 2nd watch.

How do you play slapcup then?

Someone has never tried to get 2 toddlers into a car to go pick up food, get them in the store and then get back in the car. The $10 extra cost to have a pizza delivered vs pickup can be very worth it.

I don’t use delivery often, but you really need to realize not everyone lives the same life parameters as you.

Your looking at it from a digital era. When things were paper based, month-day-year made a bunch of sense.

Our work paper archives are stored in “year” boxes (used to be filing cabinets). Open those, and you have folders that have month-day-year on their tab label. This makes it so you can quickly go through the folders sequentially quickly. If you did YYYYMMDD, you would need to ignore the first 4 numbers. DDMMYYY, the labels won’t be in numerical order.

Putting files back, you look for the correct year, but then it’s easy to drop the folder back into it’s numerical position.

In a digital structure, filing records is automated and we can use a search function, so we do store digital files as YYYYMMDD.
