A meme criticizing the inconsistency in Americans' defense of the MM/DD/YYYY date format. The top text shows Americans justifying MM/DD/YYYY by claiming it matches spoken language (e.g., 'August the 12th' = 08/12). Below, 'Also Americans:' is followed by an image of the American flag with 'HAPPY 4th of July' text, highlighting that '4th of July' uses a day-before-month structure (DD/MM), contradicting the claimed alignment with spoken language.

A Reddit meme featuring a debate about date formats, consisting of three user comments followed by an explanatory diagram. The top comment by Mary M. expresses frustration with the MM/DD/YY format, stating 'oh yeah and f**k the MM/DD/YY format'. Below, Adre argues 'DD/MM/YY format makes no sense', while Monke defends it with 'It does make sense'. The bottom section includes a visual comparison of three date format structures: 1) 'Majority of the world's countries' with a pyramid labeled 'Day' (top), 'Month' (middle), 'Year' (bottom); 2) 'China, Japan, Koron, Iran' (likely 'Korea' misspelled) with an inverted pyramid labeled 'Year' (top), 'Month' (middle), 'Day' (bottom); 3) 'USA' with an irregular shape labeled 'Month' (top), 'Day' (middle), 'Year' (bottom).
