I unironically love this. Of course it isn't practical in the least, but I love it.

Wake me up when Septempril ends

Like my father's come and past, 1900 years has gone so fast!

Sounds like a medicine I shouldn't take before asking my doctor if it's right for me.

Ask your doctor if Moctopril™ is right for you!

My insurance won't cover it so I have to take Novemugust...

[–] anomnom@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 day ago

Novemugust is what I’ve been feeling since last November.

This is disgusting. Who enters dates in month/day/year order?

That’s just adding salt to the would

"Lousy Smarch Weather"

'Do Not Touch -Willie'

"Hey, good advice!"

Genuine Question:

if you could split the month names into 3, how would you split them to maximise their choice overlap?

  • "em" is a good overlap for nov/sept/dec
  • "uar" is good for jan/febr

Might be a decent way to sort out bots, actually.

[–] paulbg@programming.dev 8 points 1 day ago

at least no bot will solve this

I understand that bad ui is a fun meme and all, but how did this one even cross their mind as an idea for a bad UI? This is a new level of convoluted I would not have even considered.

[–] tiredofsametab@fedia.io 4 points 1 day ago (2 children)

My guess: someone messed up trying to split an array and split a string from it and hilarity ensued.

I love the month of Jay

12 options as 21. At least it counts as lines of code for a performance review

Hmm. A bit redundant.

[ j ] [ uly ] [ y ]

Shoulda just been [ ul ].

[–] drangus@piefed.social 13 points 2 days ago (1 children)

The blank options solve that

For a truly peak UI make the text very light gray on a white background, in the thinnest font possible.

Best CAPTCHA ever!

[–] Catoblepas@piefed.blahaj.zone 18 points 2 days ago

They should have included an option for BC and AD.

[–] gerryflap@feddit.nl 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

We can clearly see that this design is silly, because it allows for so many invalid states. Yet when we represent some type, let's say in Java, were so often forced to do this exact same thing. Have variables in a container of which only a certain combination is valid. And then have at most a comment saying "this number is only valid if X is also set" or "if the validity boolean is true". Luckily Java finally has some ability for the so-called sum types now, just like Haskell's data types or Rust's enum types. Imo any language should have this.

Novemy showers bring Septanugust flowers.

At least that's what my grandma would say.
