How did JS `getYear` turn out this badly?
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Date/getYear
and day is `getDate`? Yeesh
not one part of this works as expected
```javascript
date.getDay() + "/" + date.getMonth() + "/" + date.getYear()
```
@joelanman For what you're trying to do, there are better approaches, FWIW. The `Intl.DateTimeFormat` API would probably handle that much more smoothly (dates a fucking disaster in JS).
```
// Get a short localized date
// returns "8/15/24"
let shortDateStr = new Intl.DateTimeFormat('en-US', {
dateStyle: 'short'
}).format(new Date());
```
@cferdinandi yeh thanks I know it! Just amazing how bad the normal date api is
@joelanman been holding my breath on the Temporal API for ages
