darn it!
I had both tabs open and was waiting for that stupid 60 second rule and mustve posted it on the wrong one. This is the original suggestion, there are lots of others going around.

That would confuse them even more. Not even I know what the
(() * ())
block does. AND I'VE BEEN ON FOR ALMOST 7 MONTHS!!!!!!!!!

 ()*()

This is very popular and common, it is just the multiply block like firstvalue mutitipied by the secondvalue.

Support because I wanted to make a countdown.

Support, this would be helpful in projects that handle dates.

Fixed:

days since (02) (28) (2021) :: sensing reporter

Or with dropdowns:

days since [02 v] [28 v] [2021 v] :: sensing reporter

BBCode:

days since (02) (28) (2021) :: sensing reporter

With dropdowns:

days since [02 v] [28 v] [2021 v] :: sensing reporter

the month and day could be dropdown
support the mm/dd/yyyy format
also remember it will eventually be mm/dd/yyyyy

No support. Below is why:

when green flag clicked
say (join (days since (01) (01) (2021)) (join  (days since [January] (1) [twenty-twenty-one]) (days since (01) [Jan.] (2021)))) 
//What will the sprite say (output)?

And you can make a custom block instead of creating this block.

It should only accept number inputs.

The beginners will be confused about what to input, like numbers or words, so no support.
Hi Reev!

I usually see dd/mm/yyyy.

I think it should use MM/DD/YYYY, since the editor uses American spellings. If course, if you change the language the format should change.

You didn't name the BB code. The BB code you need is:

[scratchblocks]
days since (02) (28) (2021) :: sensing reporter
[/scratchblocks]

As for the suggestion, support! It will make advanced programming easier

Support, this could be useful for countdowns. Also, I've seen this block been manipulated to count how many days since a specific date.

ScolderCreations

Support, I see how this could be helpful, but the workaround takes a bit of math knowledge.

(days since () :: sensing)

So annoying when people say this. Others already say it why or i don't have nothing to say.

One problem. All the projects using the block would be ruined. I've seen quite a few.

Then don't post anything at all. The scratch team doesn't implement suggestions based on how much support they get.
