    YYYY.MM.DD_HH24MI.SS

    e.g.

    2025.09.02_1830.33

    you know EXACTLY when the timestamp is referring to.

    remove the time part you still got a pretty clean date 2025.09.02 which is also computer sort friendly.

    the only missing component is the Timezone which I find pretty stupid TBH, because as a big Space Sci-fi fan, there needs to be a universal timecode system which is universal in the literal sense. Well technically it can never be, relativity and all, but you get what I mean…

    also while we are at it, we should start teaching kids 12 digit number system, so that we get rid of the pesky decimal with a more efficient duodecimal.

    Oooh, and make year 13 months with each month exactly 28 days, and the fractional remainder at the end of solar cycle is just a blackout timescape that nobody acknowledges collectively throughout the world.
