    The time and date format is a little silly to achieve this contrivance.

    You start with a medium-sized unit known as the hour, then shrink to minutes and further still to seconds, then jump way up to a fairly big unit the month, then back down to a day, then up to a year. Not to mention we’re dropping several digits from the year.
