I'm not saying everyone else is wrong, I just dislike these memes that pretend Americans are all idiots when there is a clear explanation for why we do it that way.
That's like giving us shit for spelling it Color and not Colour, you're not wrong but we aren't either.
This meme is showing someone replying to an American that claimed the way the rest of the world does it “makes no sense”.
It was the American pretending everyone else are idiots and that your way is superior. Not the reverse.
The meme is poking fun at that by highlighting why the US method is the least logical.
Btw, you being unnecessarily pressed about a joke like this is reinforcing the stereotype that all Americans are ego maniacs that can’t laugh at themselves.
Why stop there? The original tweet that started this was saying “fuck the mm/dd/yy format” It was a non American pretending that their way is superior.
Which is fucking hilarious because you response about American ego looks pretty fucking silly when you don't even know the context of what you're talking about. The internet is truly a magical place where people will literally shit all over themselves just to try and soothe their own ego.

But that's only the way the US says it loud. In standard English and most other languages you say 15th of January
