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
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.

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

You mean the standard defined by The Internet Engineering Task Force? Of course I do! The ISO name is just more popular.

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

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
fushuan@lemm.ee · 28 pts · 2y
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.
blackn1ght@feddit.uk · 7 pts · 2y
I wonder if they have a special rule to use dd/mm/yyyy on the 4th of July.
bingbong@lemmy.dbzer0.com · -3 pts · 2y
Nope, it's "July 4th" or "the 4th of July" though and they're weirdly interchangeable

September Fifteenth and Fifteenth of September are both commonly used depending where you are in the world.
Still@programming.dev · -13 pts · 2y
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.
