Personally, most cases that use a drop down to select a year are cases where I don’t care for them to know my actual birthdate, so just roll that mouse wheel like it’s the price is right and pick whatever year looks nice, you can be from the silent generation or the silent film generation!
Waaaaayyyy back in the day I did this and said I was born in like 1910 or something (which was an actual option on the wheel) and I got a pop-up that said something like “put in a real DOB.” What if I had actually been a tech-savvy ninety year old, huh?
Ah neat, I don’t usually go that old but was wondering how some handled ages going from reasonable to possible to unlikely to impossible. Especially since giving a “age too old” error could count as age discrimination.
