Interestingly enough, I found it to be surprisingly complicated to implement a time interval picker with Apple's at the time provided UI elements. Originally, I planned on modifying their Datepicker (the one with the satisfying drums), but it wouldn't work. So I made this, which is good enough (fast, intuitive, precise) for a personal project.

I classify it as bad UI, though, because there's a whole bunch of better approaches to this problem.

Now, I know this isn't quite a meme, given the bad UI here is being used to troll scammers, but this video relates to a popular post here from two months ago, and I thought folks would find this just as humorous in watching others struggle with the same password checker as we all did before:

This was Google Beta in 1998. It had some minor bugs, but the usabilkity was decent.
