The Halloween is inside the calendar!!!
toynbee@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Did you know that Christmas and Halloween are the same day? Because OCT 31 = DEC 25.

I just had to explain this to my coworker…

Thank you for asking because I had no idea what’s wrong with this post until I reached your comment.

This looks like an email my boomer dad would forward to everyone he knows.

Not with that attitude it isn’t.

feels like this would go viral on Facebook.

Unfortunately this won’t happen until October 31st 2600. Starting on March 1st in the year 2600, the Julian calendar (popular in centuries past, and still used in a few places) will differ by 18 days from the Gregorian calendar (the current worldwide standard calendar).
It happens that October 31st in the year 2600 lands on a Friday, and so the Julian October 13th, which lands on that same day, is also a Friday.
There may be a sooner Friday the 13th that lands on Halloween, if you know of other obscure calendars like the Hebrew, Islamic, or Chinese calendars. I don’t know enough about those to check.

That’s nit very nice to say, also very false
Limonene@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I eagerly await your writeup on whichever calendar you think I need to know more about.
Ultraviolet@lemmy.world 1 year ago
It’s also always either 6 or 11 years (or 7 in very rare cases, when you’re on both sides of a skipped leap year like 1900 or 2100) between “day X falls on day of the week Y” events unless you’re talking about February 29.

I remember a friend of mine showing us this image many years ago all excited. To this day he’s mocked for it
letsgo@lemm.ee 1 year ago
Huh? When are you guys celebrating Halloween? The only Friday 13ths in 2024 are in September and December.
Also I thought the calendar cycles every 400 years. So if Fri 13th Oct 2024 exists, which it doesn’t, then Fri 13th Oct 1624 and 2424 also, er, don’t exist.
♫ In the year 2424, if trolls are still alive… ♫
TeddE@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Yes. Since Halloween is the last day of October, the 31st, it’s kinda never on the 13th. So yeah, it’s a shitpost.

It took your edit to realise they weren’t talking about bonfire night.

Why did this have to pass 666 up votes,
Could’ve been left at 666 updates and this post would be even better

You can work on 666 down arrows

This makes me feel like I did the first time I saw a full blood moon. Amused but ultimately disappointed that the world didn’t end.
SaberKazd@sopuli.xyz 1 year ago
You did it wrong pal, you’re supposed to fish during the blood moon.
chiliedogg@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I prefer to cook then.

As a devout Last Thursdayist I invite you all to share in the weirdness this year, as Halloween falls on a Thursday. Join me in celebrating the existential horror of not knowing if the universe was created mere hours ago with the appearance of age while handing out free candy and watching scary movies.

If we declare it “the floor is lava” day, would that mean he can’t walk on earth?
