We must know: how many digits is the year? And when they're displayed later, do they use slashes or hyphens? I want to really breathe in the awful.

  1. 1970-1999 - 4 digits.
  2. 2000+ - 2 digits.
  3. No separators

People argue about 2 and 4 digits years. Make it 3 and everyone is annoyed.

The year is 4 digits. This is just an age confirmation dialog asking for your birthday on a sketchy website, so I'm pretty sure the date won't be displayed later.
