A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Posts must be original/unique
- Be good to others - no bigotry - including racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, or xenophobia
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

You don't need the comma when you write it this way. The comma in June 12, 2024, is there exactly because it's the wrong order.
It's basically "I wrote the date. Oops, forgot the year!"
Computers order it correctly in that format because that's the correct format. In the same way a computer will order any other correctly formatted numbers in the correct order - and incorrectly formatted numbers in the incorrect order - it shouldn't be surprising that they order correctly formatted dates in the correct order.
Interesting information.
