this is how my apps look when I try optimising them, just to gut them of all its usability because 'why have an array of values if I can reuse this string or integer' like a fucking idiot

Ask your doctor if Moctopril™ is right for you!

[–] Postmortal_Pop@lemmy.world 41 points 1 week ago (1 children)

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

Jocktober is a workout month. Gotta get fit for my costume.

[–] Ediacarium@feddit.org 90 points 1 week ago (4 children)

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

[–] MadMadBunny@lemmy.ca 18 points 1 week ago

That’s just adding salt to the would

I’ll take “le tits now” for 300, Trebek ~HEH~ ~HEH~

I think of this moment probably once a month and I don't know how to make it stop.

Wake me up when Septempril ends

[–] codapine@lemmy.zip 11 points 1 week ago

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

Hmm. A bit redundant.

[ j ] [ uly ] [ y ]

Shoulda just been [ ul ].

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

The blank options solve that

[–] mcqtom@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago

I'm not saying it doesn't work. I'm saying it's not good.

Almost perfect. 0/10

Best CAPTCHA ever!

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

[–] Deathray5@lemmynsfw.com 13 points 1 week ago

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

[–] genuineparts@infosec.pub 13 points 1 week ago

Managust, the manliest of months.

Febroctobus

[–] finitebanjo@lemmy.world 12 points 1 week ago

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

febroctorch has the best weather in Argentina on Tuesdays

[–] rustydrd@sh.itjust.works 11 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Decoctorch sounds kind of cool though. Anyone up for some calendar reform?

This is a repost from last japril.

[–] teft@piefed.world 11 points 1 week ago

Novemy showers bring Septanugust flowers.

At least that's what my grandma would say.

[–] dejected_warp_core@lemmy.world 11 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

It's basically the UI equivalent of this:

Yes, it's a fully-functional date picker and also deviously, wildly, uncomfortably outside of aesthetic norms. Also, there's a lots of fun, invalid combinations of input outside of the usual "February 30th" shenanigans.

Why yes, that's my birthday: the 32nd of Septunepril. What's the problem?

[–] LovableSidekick@lemmy.world 11 points 1 week ago

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

Funny month names are all well and good, but the only ones you can actually spell here are:

January, March, May, September, November, and December.

Otherwise, it's

Febranuary, Japril, Juney, Julyber, Maugust, and Moctober

[–] lugal@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 points 1 week ago

I think you can use the white space so it's "[ ]april"

[–] SnekZone@lemmy.blahaj.zone 8 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Kinda true. If the whitespace from the top row doesn't get removed, you are left with "febr uary".

Finally I can input my birthday of Jempril 0 without having to use a keyboard!

[–] eronth@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 1 week ago (3 children)

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.

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

This is beautiful. Especially if it filters the available selections based on what is selected in the previous column.

They should have included an option for BC and AD.

My wife and I always wanted a joctober baby...
