          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.

          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

    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.

        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.

      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.
