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.

It already exists
I'm so glad you guys remember that sub. I miss the silly things you guys made.
DONT SPEAK TO MY OR MY ISO 8601 EVER AGAIN! 🤬🤧😢
I hope you mean RFC 3339 instead of that non-authoritative ISO crap 😤
You mean the standard defined by The Internet Engineering Task Force? Of course I do! The ISO name is just more popular.

I am going to cry.
Love the smell of a good standards body fight in the morning (0900 GMT+0).

12-12-12
Just to keep you guessing
Then you feed {12,12,12} to the API and it turns it into 1970-01-01T12:12:12UTC
At least it's not a phone number entry via slider.😤
The fuck you just say to me, you son of a bitch?
It's the 21st of 1946, June.
Who the FUCK is June? You cheating bastard!
The month selection is ordered alphabetically.
And the days go 1,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,2,21,23 ...
What happens to 22?
The team did a test and found that not enough people who were born on the 22nd bought anything and UX wanted to make the list shorter, so it got removed.

Is that not the format that's actually used in the US? I mean, it's utterly insane, but a lot of people really are used to having the components of the date in random order.
nope, we use the format that matches the words spoken so Friday September 15th, 2023 would be Fri 9/15/2023 sometimes the year is shortened
take into account that your "words spoken" isn't necessarily how other say it. For me, saying 15th of july of 2023 sounds way more natural in english.
I wonder if they have a special rule to use dd/mm/yyyy on the 4th of July.

We must know: how many digits is the year? And when they're displayed later, do they use slashes or hyphens? I want to really breathe in the awful.
- 1970-1999 - 4 digits.
- 2000+ - 2 digits.
- No separators
People argue about 2 and 4 digits years. Make it 3 and everyone is annoyed.

MMYYYYDD
YYYY MM DD
That's actually the best
no, the best is YYYY-MM-DD
That's what I use but the dashes aren't the most important part
