Is this a tankie?

Norway.

The only ones using cash here are the elderly, immigrant workers and contractors that skip VAT. Been like that a long time. A restaurant chain here stopped accepting cash (illegal), and there was barely some buzz in the media. Buzz so brief I don’t know how it ended.

The first one you listed is an ISO standard date format, and is the only way to go :)

We just had a week with 30°-ish in Oslo 🫠 Northern Norway has struggled to see 20s though.
