I have never seen yyyy-mm-dd in the wild except maybe as a filename conversation for practical reasons (you can sort them more easily). All official documents use (d)d.(m)m.(yy)yy
According to that link, more countries use MDY in some capacity than I thought. Magenta, Red, Dark Blue, and Grey on the map are all listed as using it in the table below.
I didn’t even mention date formats. It’s only 10/10 using the Gregorian calendar. There’s still the Islamic, Indian, Chinese Hebrew, and other calendars in use around the world.
Once again Europeans assume the rest of the world is identical because Americans are the only ones bothering to correct them.

In Canada we use all three formats and have invented even more. Fucking hell.
You alright there Canada? Did they hurt you?
Canada is the kid that requests anchovy topping at the pizza party
Canada can never decide if they want to be Americans or British.
Germany uses DMY exclusively. Why is it green instead of cyan?

I’m not even talking about the date format, I’m talking about the date.
What about the date?
Quick! Name all the countries that use mm/dd/yyyy!

Sure buddy
Not only Europeans, or Americans, or Christians. Most countries use the Gregorian Calendar either solely or additionally to a national calendar.
TIL Christian is a demonym…
Name one country thats not in America that uses mm/dd/yyyy.
To “correct” them
Americans? You mean usians surely
Practically no one in the USA would have any idea what such a word would be representing.
There are other words. Statesians, seppos, yanks, … There is a full list of other names here https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demonyms_for_the_United_States
It’s called American Exceptionalism 🇺🇸🫡
