Mildly Interesting

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

Strange. The site doesn't quite work properly for me. I set my decade, then changed it so I could see my parents and all the myths were the same.

Then I clicked around and they are the same for every decade that I selected.

That's odd, thanks for pointing it out. I'll see if I can't make a fix

Same for me.

Browser is Safari on iPhone 15 Pro Max.

Same

I close the tab and repopen. Same results. It’s like it’s cached and stuck

I think it's possible that people are simply confused because the answers are the same for most decades. But one thing I would try maybe is setting the "value" of the different options, since that's what you're reading.

As I understand it, if no value is set, the browser should return the name instead, so the way you have it should work, but that may vary depending on browser.

EDIT: I tried to give an example, but lemmy keeps filtering out my explanation even if I enclose it in code tags. Hopefully you know what I mean.

I have a hunch this is it. I'll try your method and see if it works

Same for me. Everything on the list was stuff I already learned was bs so I went back a couple decades and it was the exact same list.
