Your looking at it from a digital era. When things were paper based, month-day-year made a bunch of sense.

Our work paper archives are stored in “year” boxes (used to be filing cabinets). Open those, and you have folders that have month-day-year on their tab label. This makes it so you can quickly go through the folders sequentially quickly. If you did YYYYMMDD, you would need to ignore the first 4 numbers. DDMMYYY, the labels won’t be in numerical order.

Putting files back, you look for the correct year, but then it’s easy to drop the folder back into it’s numerical position.

In a digital structure, filing records is automated and we can use a search function, so we do store digital files as YYYYMMDD.

Samsung Fridge/Freezer. About every spring and fall, our fridge freezes over in the cooling system. The ice builds up and blocks the fan which stops circulation so that the fridge warms up and spoils all the food. Samsung says there is no major issue but it seems to be common flaw talked about online. The fix is to take apart the back of the fridge and remove all the ice. One constantly on of the edge of buying a new one.
