Might as well roll the dice for order every time a user loads the page.

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.

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.

Ah! A Raccoon and/or Vegetable of culture! I tip my fedora to you and your one true time representation and storage system.

Me whenever someone uses a decimal point instead of comma

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.😤

And the days go 1,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,2,21,23 ...

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

Rfc3339 is the way. Mathematical superiority is on our side.

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

At this point, just go full bananas and use SEP-2023/15

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.

us independence day is on July 4th, don't really see how this is relevant to the conversation?

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

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.

  1. 1970-1999 - 4 digits.
  2. 2000+ - 2 digits.
  3. No separators

People argue about 2 and 4 digits years. Make it 3 and everyone is annoyed.

023-16-09

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.

Hyphens matter. Standards matter. ISO8601 4 lyfe.

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