But how would the corporate world divide the 13 month year into quarters? Don’t you know what that’ll do to the bottom line?! Think of the poor shareholders! /s
The solution to that is having 12 months of 4 weeks each, and one week of solstice every 3 months. One quarter then is 13 weeks in total. That makes it so each quarter perfectly matches a season and keeps it all in sync with solar time. In the ideal case you also match the school holidays to the solstice, and the winter solstice includes new year’s day and leap day, making it just a bit longer for Christmas holidays.
You really think the world could come to an agreement on which day the week should start? Would be really awkward if a month starts with the second or third day of the week.
I actually had this happen once. My mental health actually improved, but it was untenable for my job and social life unfortunately. It was kinda nice for a couple months though.
Yeah, I noticed my rythem in absence of anything teathering it to the socially acceptable world is about 28 hours. Weird that I am not alone in this apparently.
i’m pretty confident it’s an evolutionary adaption to ensure there are people in the tribe that are wide awake when others are sleeping, to keep an eye on things.
same thing with neurodivergence, sexualities, and left-handedness; it’s all stuff that’s been boosting our survival as a species when a portion of the population has those differences.
The next phase of human evolution is here, and it’s gay, autistic, left handed, and sleeping at odd hours. The rest of humanity has yet to realize the end of their epoch is nigh.
Mine settled on 36 hour days and it was fantastic. Plenty of time to work, plenty of time to play, and plenty to sleep, every day. … then I got a 9-5 job and my life became hell again.
Sometimes I really hate the modern world. Especially working remotely doing what could be asynchronous work with colleagues, why the hell can’t we just sleep whenever we want, as long as the work gets done.
I fake laugh everyday for ten minutes, so that when I die and relive life’s little moments, all I see are happy times.
Ain’t that the fucking saddest thing you ever heard? I’m sitting in an empty room, laughing my ass off to trick my dead self into thinking I had a good life.
It’s a reference to a comedy sketch show called I Think You Should Leave. It’s really funny in a fever dream sort of way. Can’t find the clip they’re referring to but this’ll give you an idea at least: www.youtube.com/watch?v=n-Bfkc6lZok
I know what you mean… I found a guy who looks just like Dave who can take huge dumps so that people would think Dave was taking huge dumps. Why? Ultimately I guess I wanted people to think Dave was taking huge embarrassing dumps. If I had to come up with a reason that would be it, and honestly that might be IT!
France tried such calendar in 1789 and 1871. We lost it when Jules Ferry executed all the communalists in Paris. Some people in France still use those calendars to show their support to revolutionary ideas
I own such a website and I can confirm that this date is right. French wikipedia though is wrong as it uses a bad simplication reform that was never voted
Sometimes you’ve just really got to let it out, and you need to make time to do it. Really makes ya sad that people break down to that point and can’t just take a minute for a hug.
