Hey dumb fucks. You want random days? I'll give you random
days with one fucking line of bash code:

# /bin/bash
shuf -n200 -i$(date -d '1970-01-01' '+%s')-$(date -d '2024-02-16' '+%s') \
| xargs -I{} date -d '@{}' '+%d/%m/%Y'

Output shown below.

Note: For dates before the Unix epoch it needs some tweaking, but
I'll allow you dumb shits to figure it out.

Ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!

GNU/Linux: designed for supermen.

Microslop Winblows: designed for crippled pussies.

1 line of intuitive Microsoft PowerShell makes mincemeat of your clumsy,
unreadable GuhNoo bash:

$b=[DateTime]"1960-01-01"; $e=[DateTime]"2024-12-31"; $cnt=1; $dates =
1000; while($cnt-le $dates) {$rdate = [DateTime](Get-Random -Minimum
$b.Ticks -Maximum $e.Ticks); $rdate.ToString("yyyy-MM-dd"); $cnt++;}

No tweaking necessary to handle an "epoch", of course.

To output the randoms in sorted order:

$b=[DateTime]"1960-01-01";$e=[DateTime]"2024-12-31";$cnt=1;$dates=1000;$arr=@();while($cnt-le
$dates) {$rdate = [DateTime](Get-Random -Minimum $b.Ticks -Maximum
$e.Ticks);$arr+=$rdate.ToString("yyyy-MM-dd");$cnt++;} $arr|Sort-Object;

bash severely pwned by PowerShell

Assuming you can get to PowerShell after the last 'fix'.

Amendment XIV
Section 1.

[...] No state shall make or enforce any law which shall
abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the
United States; nor shall any state deprive any person of
life, liberty, or property, without due process of law;
nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal
protection of the laws.

Dobbs rewrites this, it is invalid precedent. States are
liable for denying needed abortions, e.g. TX.

I couldn't get used to the PowerShell verb-qualifier notation. And that's
ignoring the convenience of having human readable objects.

I'm sure it's great, but I've always gotten by quite handily with
BAT and Bash scripts.

Interesting. That has spilled over onto 3 lines for me.
