I keep telling people that you can make nice, even months if you just have 13 of them but nooooo, 13 is a prime number, you can’t divide it by 2, 3, 4, or 6! Boo fucking hoo, I want every month in the year to start on the same day of the week.

Hey, fuck that racist bastard. I just hate trying to remember his many days are in a month because the current system is stupid.

365/13 is 28.07 - what are you doing with the extra day? + leap years too
Etterra@discuss.online 4 days ago
The last month is 1 day longer (or 2 on a leap year) which resets the sequence. So exactly 4 weeks per month until the end, then new years has a buffer day.

Lol, you’ve got my vote

Doesn’t add up, either. Plus, you still have leap years and seconds.
HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 4 days ago
yes it does. 13 even months with one extra day for new years
ExtremeUnicorn@feddit.org 4 days ago
So… It doesn’t add up.

You tack the extra time on the end, shifting what day of the week the 1st falls on for the rest of the year. Instead of the end of February, which is just the most random fucking choice that I can only figure was determined because the calendar was set centuries before we had lightbulbs.

you haven’t looked at the calendar. it works.
