Ask your doctor if Moctopril™ is right for you!
- My insurance won't cover it so I have to take Novemugust...
  
  Novemugust is what I’ve been feeling since last November.

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

This is disgusting. Who enters dates in month/day/year order?
- That’s just adding salt to the would
- How do you see that and this is your reaction?

Decay is my favourite month

- 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.

j'october
- Tu as october
  
  Il elle on a october

I was born in _arch, btw.

Wake me up when Septempril ends
- 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 ].
- The blank options solve that
  
  I'm not saying it doesn't work. I'm saying it's not good.
  Almost perfect. 0/10

Best CAPTCHA ever!

I, too, was born in Septulyber.

y a m

I use febr a rch btw
- You know about neo-pronouns, get ready for neo-months

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

Febroctobus

febroctorch has the best weather in Argentina on Tuesdays

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

Novemy showers bring Septanugust flowers.
At least that's what my grandma would say.

This is a repost from last japril.

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?

Decoctorch sounds kind of cool though. Anyone up for some calendar reform?
- Napoleon intensifies
- God, always. Nothing about our current calendar is working for me.

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

Managust, the manliest of months.

I was bowm in Novemy :3
- UwU

at least no bot will solve this

What, you werent born on Mapril 0, 1901?
- The zeroth of March is not uncommonly used, to mean the last of February whether it's the 28th or 29th

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

Joctopril, novel ACE inhibitor, new and improved!
- I saw decapril, thought the exact same thing

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

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
- I think you can use the white space so it's "[ ]april"
- Kinda true. If the whitespace from the top row doesn't get removed, you are left with "febr uary".
  
  With white space you can make every month
- It's 12, looks good to me.

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.
  
  It's too unregular and too good to be a coincidence. Unless they threw an algorithm on it that was intended for whatever

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)
  
  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

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.

I sure hope that 190 slider is also logarithmic

Septoctougust

Joctober and Novemy sound fun!

Munepril babies always end up junkies and deculyuary babies as priests
- Every single one so far.

Captchas are really getting out of hand.

Why yes I am a Jaber baby how did you know

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

MOCTOUARY

Febrauary?
- "Feb"+""+"uary"
  
  For that matter, August has to use a blank in the first position as well

M arch btw

"Lousy Smarch Weather"
'Do Not Touch -Willie'
"Hey, good advice!"

I love the month of Jay

any

🎶Tell my girl I will be gone by Septuneugust🎶

deculyugust
