I’m from India but I live in the USA. I’m getting confused with you using mixing up @Air’s “who aren’t in” with “who aren’t from”. FYI they mean 2 different things
Critical Variations
- India: Follows the British standard strictly. Dates are almost exclusively written as Day-Month-Year.
- Canada: Canada is unique because it officially supports the international standard (YYYY-MM-DD), but in daily practice, it is heavily influenced by both British (DD/MM/YYYY) and American (MM/DD/YYYY) styles. Because all three formats are actively used in Canada, short dates can be highly ambiguous without context.
I’m not from the US or UK either… i’m not doxxing myself, however
Updated version, added music and seeds (no enemies tho)
You live in the southern hemisphere. That narrows it down.
Yep, fun fact, 10% of the world does too!
Yeah, it sill narrows it down to 800,000 people!
830,000,000 million people is still a lot you know. ![]()
Southern Hemisphere Short Date Formats by Region
| Region / Continent | Standard Short Format | Example (25 December 2026) | Regional Nuances & Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Oceania (Australia, New Zealand, Fiji, Papua New Guinea, Samoa, Solomons, Tonga, Vanuatu, etc.) | DD/MM/YYYY | 25/12/2026 | Follows British style. Hyphens (-) or dots (.) are also common in casual use. |
| South America (Brazil, Argentina, Peru, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Bolivia, Paraguay, Uruguay, etc.) | DD/MM/YYYY | 25/12/2026 | Brazil regularly uses a forward slash (/). Chile and Argentina frequently substitute slashes with hyphens (25-12-2026). |
| Africa (South Africa, Angola, Mozambique, Madagascar, DR Congo, Tanzania, Zambia, Zimbabwe, etc.) | DD/MM/YYYY | 25/12/2026 | South Africa recognizes YYYY/MM/DD as an official government/corporate alternative, though DD/MM/YYYY remains the everyday standard. |
| Asia (Indonesia, East Timor) | DD/MM/YYYY | 25/12/2026 | Indonesia uses DMY colloquially, but its government, IT infrastructure, and official registries mandate the ISO standard (YYYY-MM-DD). |
Whoops I meant 80,000,000
