Might as well roll the dice for order every time a user loads the page.
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.
Thx, I h8 it
Who hurt you?
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.
The two overlap, but are not the same.
Annoyingly, neither supports y-m-d h:i:s which is the format most pretend-ISO/RFC people like to use.
I am going to cry.
Love the smell of a good standards body fight in the morning (0900 GMT+0).
You mean 1694768400 in Unix timestamp?
Ah! A Raccoon and/or Vegetable of culture! I tip my fedora to you and your one true time representation and storage system.
tips debian
Me whenever someone uses a decimal point instead of comma
At least it’s not a phone number entry via slider.😤

The fuck you just say to me, you son of a bitch?
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
Don’t you mean 12V12V12V? They didn’t bother to put in dashes!
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.
Those people are subhuman and don’t belong with the rest of us. They get a tickbox that says “Select if you were born on the 22nd of the month.” All the tickbox does is send SWAT to the address you entered
Nah, worst is palindrome interpolated ymdyydmy
Wtf
DDMMYYYY💪🗓🏆
Ew
YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS
Rfc3339 is the way. Mathematical superiority is on our side.
Auto alphanumerical sequencing
Y/D/Y/M/Y/M/Y/D
DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD 😻❤️
it’s the number of days since the asteroid blasted the dinosaurs, conveniently in 32 decimal digits
It would only take 11 decimal digits though. Sadly, an uneven 36 in binary
it’s a forward thinking standard. wont need to worry about Y2T
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.
Nope, it’s “July 4th” or “the 4th of July” though and they’re weirdly interchangeable
When is independence day?
us independence day is on July 4th, don’t really see how this is relevant to the conversation?
In what way is the MDY you write about any different from the YDM in the screenshot? The important thing, that they’re in random order, is the same for both, right?
And as for spoken language, it’s not like any normal person would say “September fifteenth” now, is it?
Turns out people in different countries and regions say the date differently as well. I find it funny how everyone always assumes their experience is the universal one.
September Fifteenth and Fifteenth of September are both commonly used depending where you are in the world.
they are not in a random order they are in the same order as when spoken in proper American english
and yes normal people do say September fifteenth none of this fifteen September British nonsense
Literally nobody in Britain says ‘fifteen September’…
True we say 15th September, not 15 September

At this point, just go full bananas and use SEP-2023/15
20SEP23\16
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
Its the same
Hyphens matter. Standards matter. ISO8601 4 lyfe.
YYYY MM DD is better for directories.
Mine is worse

YYDDMMYY

Na, month data year is still the worse.
What about month year day ?
Satan up early this morning
Yymddmyy?
Edit: someone already beat me to it.
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.
023-16-09
Thank you, Satan
The year is 4 digits. This is just an age confirmation dialog asking for your birthday on a sketchy website, so I’m pretty sure the date won’t be displayed later.

Well its the fluent variant. In the Year YYYY on the DD(st/nd/th) Day of MMMM
