We definitely need a "bad UI battles" community here.

i already have an idea: dropdown to select the date as a UNIX time stamp in roman numerals

Roman numerals with slider selection and roman numerals are in alphabetical order

Edit. But shown in arabic numerals

Ooh let's make it so that it the user has to manually add in all the time before January 1, 1970 in order for it to be accurate. That time is also in Roman numerals.

The program then does a system time check against NIST to see if the calculation is correct, otherwise it won't let you proceed.
