"Hey, good advice!"

Managust, the manliest of months.
-
I love the month of Jay
-
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 4As you can see two longest most common motifs are "em-ber" and "uar-y"
Using this I propose the following graph

My wife and I always wanted a joctober baby...
-
Wake me up when Septempril ends
-
Sounds like a medicine I shouldn't take before asking my doctor if it's right for me.
-
-
I use febr a rch btw
-
You know about neo-pronouns, get ready for neo-months
-
-
at least no bot will solve this
-
Febranber. Those who know, remember.
-
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.
-
We can clearly see that this design is silly, because it allows for so many invalid states. Yet when we represent some type, let's say in Java, were so often forced to do this exact same thing. Have variables in a container of which only a certain combination is valid. And then have at most a comment saying "this number is only valid if X is also set" or "if the validity boolean is true". Luckily Java finally has some ability for the so-called sum types now, just like Haskell's data types or Rust's enum types. Imo any language should have this.
-
Having data dependent on each other in a type means that either you have redundant data (so one of the fields should be computed) or that your container tries to be too generic (you should in this case prefer an 'Apple' class over a 'Fruit' class with an enum field 'Type')
-
-
Might be a decent way to sort out bots, actually.
-
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.
-

-
They should have included an option for BC and AD.
-
Febroctobus
-
Jocktober
-
-
Jocktober is a workout month. Gotta get fit for my costume.
-
-
12 options as 21. At least it counts as lines of code for a performance review
-
I, too, was born in Septulyber.
-
For a truly peak UI make the text very light gray on a white background, in the thinnest font possible.
-
Decay is my favourite month
-
Captchas are really getting out of hand.
-
Joctopril, novel ACE inhibitor, new and improved!
-
I saw decapril, thought the exact same thing
-
-
I was born in _arch, btw.
-
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.
-
-
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
-
-
-
Decoctorch sounds kind of cool though. Anyone up for some calendar reform?
-
God, always. Nothing about our current calendar is working for me.
-
Napoleon intensifies
-
-
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
-
-
Novemy showers bring Septanugust flowers.
At least that's what my grandma would say.
-
Munepril babies always end up junkies and deculyuary babies as priests
-
Every single one so far.
-
-
y a m -
Best CAPTCHA ever!
-
This is beautiful. Especially if it filters the available selections based on what is selected in the previous column.
-
I sure hope that 190 slider is also logarithmic
-
febroctorch has the best weather in Argentina on Tuesdays
-
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?
-
I was bowm in Novemy :3
-
UwU
-
-
MOCTOUARY
-
This is a repost from last japril.
-
Joctober and Novemy sound fun!
-
Finally I can input my birthday of Jempril 0 without having to use a keyboard!
-
🎶Tell my girl I will be gone by Septuneugust🎶
-
Septoctougust
-
m'ugust

day 0
-
Why yes I am a Jaber baby how did you know
-
Yeah baby I'm a scorpanceitarius
-
Febrauary?
-
"Feb"+""+"uary"
-
For that matter, August has to use a blank in the first position as well
-
-
-
disappointed that july is not split into j/ul/y
-
They can't even align the goddam controls smdh
-
M arch btw
-
deculyugust
-
What happens if you accidentally click something in the third box for July?
Edit: nm, I see the blanks as the first option
-
Julyuary
-
-
septuneuary
-
Manuary
-
Why is the first part of October in the second box?
Now I want to see an infographic about the common parts of each of the months

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