Comment on The lost days
TempermentalAnomaly@lemmy.world 15 hours agoCan’t believe we skipped both 0 BC and 0 AD.
In all seriousness, we can define the millennium to start on 2000 and work from there. We already do this with decades and centuries.

Just happened to help my 9yo with his homework and they’re learning that centuries are defined as starting at year 1 and ending with a 0.
101 200
1401 1500
Etc

But it’s arbitrary. It doesn’t need to. Centuries are just 100 years. Start at years ending in one or zero.
