(days since MM( ) / DD( ) / YYYY ( )::sensing)
(days between MM( ) / DD( ) / YYYY ( ) and MM( ) / DD( ) / YYYY ( )::sensing)

why in the world would you use mm/dd/yyyy?

And now, an excerpt from Matrix Dimensions (2101).

Morpheus (holding out left hand):
You take the blue pill, the story ends; you wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe.
(Holding out right hand):
You take the red pill, you stay in Wonderland, and I show you how deep the rabbit hole goes.
(Holding out middle hand?):
You take the purple pill…
Neo (confused as heck):
Wha…?
Morpheus (continued):
…I choose for you; be warned: it's probably not going to be the blue pill.
(Neo takes the blue pill and the purple pill.)
Morpheus (visibly annoyed):

The blue pill was a placebo…
(The blue pill was not a placebo.)
…and you chose the purple pill, meaning I choose for you. Come with me.
(Morpheus throws Neo out of an opened window, Neo breaking an arm and a leg in the process.)
Morpheus:

No one abuses the pills…
(continued, holding out hand below middle hand??)
…especially when you don't take the mandatory green pill.
Neo (telepathically to Morpheus):
Jinx! One… two…
(Morpheus doesn't want to be jinxed, so he jumps out of the window, breaking one of his arms and one of his legs in the process.)
Neo (weakly):

Ha! Now do you feel my pain?
Morpheus (weakly):
No, not really. Didn't feel a thing.
(Morpheus and Neo go back inside the building, while limping.)

The OP is probably American.
But anyway, it should probably be DD/MM/YYYY since only 34% of Scratchers are American.

These blocks are so messy. A vast majority of the blocks in scratch have 0, 1, or 2 parameters. There are a couple with 3 but none with 4 or more, much less 6. It's also very unnecessary to have one with 3 parameters too. The only blocks with 3 parameters on scratch are ones that are completely essential blocks that would not function without it (the insert and replace list blocks). That block would function just as well with 1 or no parameters. Also, these blocks don't allow for anything that the current block doesn't, nor does it make anything easier. It just looks ugly and confusing for no reason.

Also, the latter 3 blocks are useless and unnecessary. Blocks that just function as constants are already pretty unneeded given how easy they are to workaround, but at least blocks like a pi block would have actually uses. Those blocks are useful for literally nothing. Why would you need to use any of those three dates in any scenario? How would it even output a date. Overall, these blocks are not very good.

thank you for reading my post and have a nice day!

Ah, the most useless block on Scratch.
(days since 2000)
Nope. No. Absolutely not.

The days since 2000 block is the most precise timing method in Scratch, so it's extremely useful. And, what you've suggested can be easily worked around with some addition.

Yes, all of them can, due to the way the offline editor works.

should be

on the block pallete, by default it would say mm dd yy in the inputs and you can change the input.

Well idk
I said that to avoid confusion on the date format but..
Well I guess they could make it so that you can type in words?

I never implied it’s text entry. Number entry.
Or the ST could just use an HTML <input type=“date”> element, or create a date picker. If they did that, it would likely look like
(days since (1/1/2000 v) :: sensing)
Where the date picker appears when that box is clicked/tapped, and it accepts variable inputs.

It wouldn't just be text, it would only show text. The actual date picking would use an interface designed for it, likely resembling a calendar. Alternatively, it could use HTML's built-in date input element: https://bignate469.github.io/random-stuff/date-input/
