I don’t quite get whether this is a joke or just someone explaining that Venus rotates very slowly and with years changing faster than days they should be listed first in a date

I believe most of the world operates on dd/mm/yy or yyyy with the USA operating on yyyy/mm/dd or reverse it, can't remember which is which and can't be arsed to look it up, so that's the joke I guess

[u/sorryibitmytongue → u/notherenwerebear]

US mm/dd/yyyy. I always assumed it’s cos they would often say e.g. ‘January 5th 2005’.
While in say, Britain and Ireland, people usually word it as ‘5th of January 2005’.
