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.
Love the smell of a good standards body fight in the morning (0900 GMT+0).

At least it's not a phone number entry via slider.😤

Just to keep you guessing
Then you feed {12,12,12} to the API and it turns it into 1970-01-01T12:12:12UTC

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

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.

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.

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
