2 makes the most sense, and its also the international standard for dates in ISO 8601 / RFC 3339

I’m in the US. 90% of devs I work with write it in ISO 8601 anyways, even in emails or chats. Not only does it make sense, it also sorts logically and is more searchable (eg 2024-11-*).

I identify as an RFC 3339.
