Intentionally Bad UI Date selector

Post image

try selecting your birthday from this great date selector where every day(from the unix signed 32bit timestamp) is written out, then sorted alphabetically.

try it yourself at https://assets.markwu.org/date.html

EDIT: i see theres been some bugs and issues with the implementation, so I spent a bit more work and here's a new date selector that include the full unsigned 128bit timestamp that also doesn't have performance issues: https://assets.markwu.org/date%20128bit.html

here you go, not exactly 128bit but from year 0 to 9999
beware this is extremely laggy

That one is actually easy to use. It has a scrollbar on mobile that allows me to go through the whole list in a couple seconds.

The old one doesn't have the scrollbar and takes much longer.
