    Hmm. A bit redundant.

    Shoulda just been [ ul ].

    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?

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

    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

    I assume the post is the maximum. I wonder if there is an algorithm for that

    hierarchical letter clustering would be my guess, or graph-based clustering using ngrams of 2-4 as nodes and maximising for connections.

    Or using an optimized Regex and printing out the DFA?

    Edit: Quick N-gram analysis (min=3, max=num letters in that month)

    R-code

    library(ngram)
    
    tmonths = c("january", "february", "march",
               "april", "may", "june", "july",
               "august", "september", "october",
               "november", "december")
    
    zzz = lapply(tmonths, function(mon){
      ng = ngram::ngram_asweka(paste(unlist(strsplit(mon, split="")), collapse=" "), min=3, max=nchar(mon))
      return(gsub(" ", "", ng))
    })
    res = sort(table(unlist(zzz)))
    res[res > 1]
    

    This gives the following 9 ngram frequencies greater than 1:

      ary   uar  uary   emb  embe ember   mbe  mber   ber 
        2     2     2     3     3     3     3     3     4 
    

    As you can see two longest most common motifs are "em-ber" and "uar-y"

    Using this I propose the following graph

    Mermaid

        direction LR
        sept --> em

    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.

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

    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

    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

    What happens if you accidentally click something in the third box for July?

    Why is the first part of October in the second box?

    febr//uary skips the second box, so I think they aimed to have an equal number of options in each column.
