Adequate ancient TV show as template, molto bene
The extra layer to this is using a pic of the show with Bob Barker, even though Drew Carrey will be coming up on 18 years hosting the show this fall.
And drew, though I like him a lot, is a way shittier host for the price is right. I only know Drew Carrey from the drew Carrey show, from which Mimi was the actual star… so you can date me how you like and it may or may not be more accurate than carbon dating.
or those of us that know who Bill Cullen is as we scroll to 1957.
I was gonna say there may be people on here that never have seen barker on price is right
Scrolling a list is a terrible UI, it doesn’t matter how cute the clicks are. Looking at you Apple.
It’s fine for months. There’s only 12 of them. Infuriating for years.
Why did this post have to be my year dawg!!
I remember the first time I had to scroll. Oh boy that was a while ago
… I don’t.
Memory loss: it’s not all bad!
“the nineteen hundreds”

I REMEMBER 1986. My god’s man. When did everyone get so young all of a sudden?
Doomscrolling to my birth year, and still no jet pack.

TY! Do want.
Sometimes websites will have a calendar for entering dates, where the largest unit of time you can flip back and forth is a month. Pure evil.
Usually you can click on the year and it switches to year mode to make things easier, or just type the date and it figured things out. If not, you can use a massage gun on the mouse. Or a fast click app.
Same with choosing a country.
I remember when the internet was enough us-centric (or accurately localized) so “United States of America” was at the top of the list. Now I have to scroll way to the bottom. I guess I can’t argue about the fairness of it, but it’s still annoying.
With all the annoyances of everything needing to be thousands of JavaScript modules instead of a simple html page, can’t we get something useful out of it, like a localized country list where everyone gets theirs on top?
And then being from England being constantly guessing because I have no idea whether the drop down is going to list England, United Kingdom, Great Britain, or what.
Each of which refer to actually different geographical regions, but okay.
Y’all should just rename your country to Greated Kingland and make life easier for everyone
The polite thing for the devs to do would be do a geolocation lookup on your IP and put the country it thinks you’re in at the top
You can often press “U” to go to countries starting with “U”, saving a bit of scrolling. If you didn’t already know that.
Unfortunately that’s not an effective shortcut from my phone
Wait until you find out that you can type the first letter and it will jump to that position in the list. Then - check this shit out - you can keep pressing that letter to jump through each item in the list. It takes me like 3 seconds.
Now, hold onto your hats, because you won’t believe what you can do when picking your state…
If it involves moving to a device that has a keyboard, you’ve lost me
Fortunately you’ll move much further up the list alphabetically since you’re rapidly becoming the Fascist States of America.
Woo hoooo, give me an “F”!
Gimme a “C”
Trump will sign an executive order stating United States must be the first country in all UI selection widgets.
He probably thinks UI is a urinary infection and wants to ban them.
now this is a high quality meme
