Random Date & Time Generator
Generates a random date and time in a friendly, readable format — not the raw ISO-8601 style of the timestamp generator.

How this generator works
A date and a time are drawn together within the range you set and shown in a stated format, with the date drawn across real calendar days so that month lengths and leap years are respected rather than approximated. Drawing a day of the month independently of the month is the usual shortcut here, and it produces a steady trickle of 31 Februaries.
Limitations and good to know
- A local date and time with no zone attached, so it is a wall-clock reading rather than a moment. Two people in different places reading it mean different instants.
- Because there is no zone, nothing here accounts for daylight saving — including the hour each spring that does not exist.
- Uniform across the range you give, so a working weekday is no more likely than a Sunday at four in the morning.
A randomly generated test value — never a real event's recorded time.
