The Chaos of 2022... 

My man Drew is so American that he managed to mess up saying DD:MM:YYYY by saying month/day/year despite it being right in front of him.

0:27 Drew marks the DD/MM/YYYY format, but says Month, Day, Year. So he is on both sides, or an enemy of both.

"month/day/year does make the most sense to me" Me, an European: * heavy breathing *

217th day of asking Drew to visit Italy

8:08 He also destroyed the HRE. "This body which was called and is still called the Holy Roman Empire was in no way holy, nor Roman, nor empire." - Voltaire

I'm Canadian and I never saw the year first in common usage, but you don't need to be Canadian to know that YYYY-MM-DD is undoubtedly the best way to write a date for anything that has to be sorted or ordered by date.

2022 is the sequel that we got but don't deserve, and it's still in production...

12:27 well, not france exactly, but Napoleon one verse says: "Bonaparte gave us the example how to win " Referring to the Polish legions in Napoleon's army at the time when Poland was under partitions.

Drew, year/month/day makes perfect sense. No one is going to mistake 2022 as month or day and it is from largest unit to smallest unit.

Let's see how long drew can ignore Ukraine Russian war

As a Canadian I can recognize most US state flags and all names, but Drew can’t, I think it’s time to do a video on Canadian geography, please?

To be fair, the UK had some excellent results in the Winter Olympics considering that we don’t provide funding for a lot of events.

9:55: it means "ding, dong. your dynasty's gone

Finally a comment box where no-one reminds me of that sadistic war going on! Drew cheers up always! Great job!

In number form, date is better DD MM YYYY, because the start of it changes each day. The day is more important than the month.

Thanks drew for mentioning Myanmar civil war. As someone who's from Myanmar, I do rly appreciate it.

War and Olympics, 2022 is very interesting

"Mynamar" still gives me chills whenever said

Year-Month-Day makes the most sense to me since numbers on the left have higher value. 135 is 100+30+5

"Month, day, year does make the most sense to me" Literally no reason why. The one everyone else uses is in a acsending order, and anyone can understand it, but the US just HAS to be special for no other reason than to be hated.

0:56 I just realised that the word "Kindergarten" is a german word

I am terrified for the day that our great grandchildren look at country ball memes at political cartoons

0:20 as a canadian myself, we do that.

People who think MM:DD:YYYY makes more sense than DD:MM:YYYY are legit bonkers

0:27 “month day year [..]” says Drew as highlights a day month year France is mentioned in polish anthem because Napoleona fought with polish invaders

0:15 in the Basque language, due to its gramatical organisation of sentences, the date is written yyyy/mm/dd. For example: 2022ko otsailaren 22a (2022/02/22). Actually, even the percent sign is swapped (it is written %100, not 100%).

Russia: invade Ukraine NATO: I sleep Some time later: fall of Paris NATO: WELL SH*T

Still innocent drew

Me as a GERMAN guy, just completely bust out of laughing when I heard how u said the word Ausländer. I mean it's a bit hard to pronounce it correctly as American guy. Keep up the good work. Earned a sub.

Fun fact: Canada is so big that it shares a border with the United States

The Year-Month-Day format is very useful when storing Data over long periods, because it is just a increasing numbre, so the computers store it in the right order but in practical life day-month-year is the one I grew up with and makes sense to me, because the day is what changes the most frequent so you see that change first

0:25 The big advantage of YYYY-MM-DD is that it automatically sorts correctly without any date magic. 1999-01-01 comes before 1999-01-02, and this before 1999-02-01, which was earlier than 2000-01-01. Sorting it written the American way for instance gives 01-01-1999 before 01-01-2000 before 01-02-1999 before 02-01-1999. 12:30 And Spain is mentioned in the Dutch Anthem.

Fun fact, the date number issues is a result of the process of mail travel and message delivery. When it took months to deliver any news by foot it would be done by giving the months it took to arrive. When letters started being more prolific that transferred over to dating letters. About the same time the states were being established so we adopted that as well, which works out as travel across the sea would take months so letters from home needed that dating. As it got more and more developed in Europe, letters would start taking only days to travel pretty much from anywhere to anywhere in Europe often meaning the month wasn't the most important date to see how far/long ago something happened. So they got flipped, but in the states it still took months for a letter to travel most places due to it's size, and messages from Europe still took months as well. So we never switched over and messages sent to use still used the old dating system. The advent of globalized communication through telephones and eventually internet happened so fast that *Hours* not *days or months* became the most important timing, to know before Days ever became a huge deal here. So we stuck with MM/DD/YYYY into globalized communication whereas most other places (including Canada which was tightly packed cause of the weather and conditions) had mostly switched to DD/MM/YYYY Honestly a lot of issues and differences and problems with being up to date come down to America's size and the diversity of the people in it.

How does month/day/year make the most sense though? Give me reasoning. I personally think day/month/year is the best, but year/month/day still makes so much more sense than month/day/year.

I literally have sat here refreshing my page to get this video. In 2 days you went from "who?" to literally my number 1 subscribed. Keep it up!

During Bandera's stay in the camp, the Ukrainian Insurgent Army (UPA) established in 1942, constituting an armed arm of OUN B, conducted an organized extermination action of the Polish population in Volhynia and Eastern Galicia (the Volhynian crime) - as a result of which about 100,000 were murdered Poles.

YYYY-MM-DD is the format used by the International Standards Organisation (ISO), due to the fact that it matches up with how times *within a day* are written. A full timestamp would read as follows: year-month-day hour:minute:second - neatly in order from largest to smallest unit. Personally, I think it’s even better than DD-MM-YYYY because of that!

the yyyy/mm/dd format kinda makes sense if you want to sort stuff by date, because if it was dd/mm/yyyy then for example the first of December would be before the second of January

4:46 at least fish and chips with peas is good

YYYY-MM-DD is the only format that if you're scanning, saving, or making files and naming them based of its time of creation daily, the files will organize themselves naturally from oldest to newest in any filing system, analog or digital.

2020 was the worst year 2022 : the worst year of you life so far

I'm gonna start a tradition of saying hi to every drew video from now on Hi drew

As a Canadian DD/MM/YY just makes the most sense

I got the first comic of the video two times in a row? STONKS

Awesome video like always! 👍

Drew should go to Ukraine and become a journalist while reacting to countryballs.

Its always a good day when drew uploads

Bulgaria and Serbia were at some points bigger than byzantium and considered themselves to somewhat be a successor to Rome not because they were a part of byzantium

3:14 , First a navy, them an air force? What's next? A Pepsi army? *looks over to Pepsi armyman* Was that good?

In Russia we use DD/MM/YYYY

Bro you are so close to one mill! I can't wait till you make it :DDD

Napoleon is mentioned in Polish national anthem because he gave Poland independence for a little bit of while.

Month day year is the inferior date, day month year/year month day is superior as it goes in increasing/decreasing order

As a canadian citizen we use YYYY/MM/DD because it narrows things down faster

Nothing is better than watching my favourite youtuber while eating dinner

MM/DD/YYYY Only one that makes sense. Knowing the month tells you the time of year.

I'm no expert, but I get the feeling that, of all Western (not Central or Eastern) European countries, France is Poland's favorite.

Drew has apparently never heard of the Bulgarian and Serbian Empires lmao

@4:45 fermented fish is very healthy, its similar to fermented herring we eat, then again we also eat eel, mostly smoked

As someone who uses day/month/year, probably year/month/day makes the most sense nowadays, mostly because its much easier to for example find files in your pc

Was not expecting country balls on saturday

Whennn are you gonna mention about da invasion dudeee

6:31 when there is Malta, it means that when the Euro cup finals between Italy and England almost every Maltese person where watching the football/soccer game because half of the Maltese people sides with England or Italy not because of an identity crises + Malta Had a conflict on if English or Italian would be our second language and by this Maltese Political Parties where born for the first time. Bonus: how you say hija it actually sound like ija because the 'h' is silent in Maltese, the letter 'ħ' makes the 'h' sound.

"Month day year that s probably what we all should do" that s the most american thing i ever heard , oh and football being called soccer.

6:14 Ah yes, me favorite Canadian state flag, CANADA

2022 is the sequel of 2020

In the military we use the year- month - day format too well at least they did back when I was in. Been a few years since I retired so things might have changed.

I love this channel

As a Canadian I can confirm we don't know which way to write the date

12:25 Love you Polska and Polish brothers/sisters from France 🇫🇷✝️🇵🇱🧡

Congratulations, that you are almost at 1M!

7:40 also Spanish empire!

How has drew still not talked about the war in ukraine?!?

The Emperor was here

For me dd/mm/yyyy is what makes sense, as in chronological order, days are smaller than months and months smaller than years. So the order goes from small to big

5:39 Makes sense since new york was called new amsterdam once

YYYY-MM-DD is the true one

It should be a Scottish ball for the curling! It was Scottish players that made that win.

6:03 >has an emergency >issues emergency powers >emergency's over >actually ends emergency powers >care to elaborate, shortly we got Canadian Sigma grinset yall

China: *cheats at Olympics* we are best Norway: good try tho kiddo

0:32 when you dont have a translate Google

1:08 actually I personally thing it should be scored like this: Golds are worth 3 points Silvers are 2 points And bronzes are 1 So how I’d score it, china actually falls down a lot

going with the year first is good for file names for sorting.

I think the MM, DD, YYYY makes the most sense as it’s more important to know the month and year than it is the day since the month number is unique to that month and the day number isn’t.

I got my most painful ingury in my life in 22/02/2022

Oh no

Yeah, very nice that you mentioned my hometown Ghent

3:14 woudlnt be surprised they did have the world's 6th largest navy for a brief period of time

Canada : "How do you do it with my neighbour the Drug War in Mexico US?" US : "You....mean....Wall" Canada : *Spikes the sign questions*

12:07 Poland sounds cute with the way you say "Papa" And we can also say "Papa" to say "Daddy" in English? Because "Papa" in French means daddy Love Poland from a Frenchie 🇵🇱❤🇨🇵

If the Dutch had kept new Amsterdam - I am pretty sure it would be landlocked and the American coastline would have swallowed the Acores by now.

Smoked Eel is delicious, we eat it on christmas in Scania, south Sweden.

Epic

1:13 China cheesed their way into get a gold that would make it higher than the us, but the us got way more metals than china. In fact 8 countries that had a lower rating than china got more metals. Not saying china cheated but they cheated.

it made me very happy that you said that quebec's flag looks the best

It’s my birthday today drew you make it a good one

0:24 yyyy/mm/dd is actually the one that makes more sense, as it makes dates truly positional. You would never write mm:hh or ss:mm:hh or mm:ss:hh so why would you use dd/mm/yyyy or mm/dd/yyyy? P.S.: am Italian.

2:51 yeah even though its a red commie star just like ww2 Russian aircraft

Hey they forgot Worcestershire sauce,also made of eels.

1:06 i thought that was the thai flag for amsec
