This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

I made a website that tells you, based on the year you graduated high school, what your school (probably) got wrong! (yourschoolgotwrong.com)

I think it's possible that people are simply confused because the answers are the same for most decades. But one thing I would try maybe is setting the "value" of the different options, since that's what you're reading.

As I understand it, if no value is set, the browser should return the name instead, so the way you have it should work, but that may vary depending on browser.

EDIT: I tried to give an example, but lemmy keeps filtering out my explanation even if I enclose it in code tags. Hopefully you know what I mean.

I have a hunch this is it. I'll try your method and see if it works
