If you haven’t seen it there are others in the worst telephone entry fields. https://imgur.com/a/4f3XB
There’s also a collection of terrible volume controls out there. https://imgur.com/gallery/5BFynxT

Hi, I’m the creator of /r/baduibattles, and one of the mods of !bad_ui_battles@programming.dev if anyome here would like to submit terrible UI here
Poe’s Law moment. I can’t tell whether the terms are made up for the sake of the meme or actually used by gender theorists.
Somewhat more controversially there was a recent attempt at “improving” gender input fields.
What bugs me is: why in the fuck are they asking for people’s gender? Other than medical questions (where you specify your birth gender), I think for the vast majority of cases the question should not be relevant.
It’s not in the collection but I recall a phone entry where the slider would move along the digits of pi until you found your phone number.
That one was my favourite.
Especially when it makes someone stop and think about it.
Hang on… would that work?
An infinite, non repeating sequence of digits?
Yeah, that would contain all possible sequences of arbitrary length.
Thank you for reminding me of this: https://youtube.com/shorts/XqNrO33bxmw

Is there a Lemmy version of UI battles?
One of the mods posted a link https://programming.dev/comment/7679900
Great idea, they just requested one minor change: Make the slider circular so users can “dial” the number like everyone is used to.
