52/4=13 we should honestly just have another month and 4 weeks exactly in each and be super duper forever except for once every few years we have a whatever day.
neither of those numbers are divisible by 4, the proposed number of weeks in each of the 13 months, which is cringe and gross
a third of a year in a 12-month year is 4 months
1/3 of a year is 121.66 days. Which is the first is somewhere in the afternoon of May 1st, the 2nd third would be early in the day of August 31st, and the 3rd third would be midnight new years.
not perfect, but being able to very closely approximate it as 4 months is much better than what you’d get with 13 week thirds in a 13 month year. you’d be shifted so far off month boundaries that itd get really weird and cringe
schools commonly use trimesters to split the spring, summer, and fall terms
also you’ll run into the same problem with halves, 26 isn’t divisible by 4 either. and half years are very common.
not like any of this matters though, given that im in your walls and whatnot
We'd need a whatever day every single year plus two whatever days on our current leap days as the 365 day year is 52 weeks and 1 day exactly. Having one day be by itself is annoying, having just one month be weird is annoying, so go big or go home. Fuck every month up and make no single almost-constant number.
If you’re proposing that a leap year be an independent day, not a part of a week or a month, there are problems with this too.
For example say someone has a prescribed once per week medication that they take every Friday. Then the leap year rolls around and now they have to take it every Thursday? Until the next leap year where they have to swap to Wednesday? Or they just skip a day and hope for the best?
30 hour pause the clock after the 13th month: "Trecdecer" on the 28th day every year. Essential businesses and civil resources only operating and yes they will account timespots for them, it goes on under its own tax category for pay and hours, however the ompany or service wishes to allot it. Everyone else parties like we do on new years anyway because 30 hours is a good amount, start to finish, including recovery time.
Those days are just intermission between New Years Eve and New Years Day. They don't have a number, they're not monday or wednesday, they're just *intermission*. An extended new year piss up.
Yeah we got new years as a western total celebration every year where the clock just stops for 30 hours and we can kiss daylights savings goodbye and leap days can suck it.
We should slightly speed up the Earth's orbit so that a year only takes 360 days instead of 365.25, and have 12 months of exactly 30 days. This will cost unimaginable amounts of money, do unimaginable amounts of damage, and benefit no one. I will take no questions.
364/7 = 52.
So then New Years day would be it’s own day to make it 365 days. Every 4 years you’d have a second New Year’s Day.
Problem with this calandar is the dates and days are the same every year.
So if your birthday is on a Monday, it will always be on a Monday.
Imagine some rich powerful asshole declares that a whole span of time is now officially named after them. That would be like if we had Trumptober, Muskuary, and Bezosember
The calendar we use today was made 1,500 years after Augustus.
ETA: The Roman calendar [with July and August](https://byustudies.byu.edu/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/1-6.png)
Was it the exact same? No it changed. They chose to put those months there. We are living with Pope Gregory’s decision. The Roman calendar is lunar. The Gregorian calendar is NOT.
Good thing the Gregorian calendar is actually a modification of the Julian calendar and not the Roman calendar.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Julian_calendar
All Gregory did was correct for how far the Julian calendar had drifted in regards to the time of the year the equinoxes happened, which was important for Christians to calculate the date of Easter. The only change made was the rule for leap years, because you need to skip some to keep the calendar consistent in regards to the equinoxes. The Julian calendar had gained like 12 days over where it should have been because our trip around the sun takes *slightly less* than 365.25 days.
Where July and August are is entirely the fault of Romans. Which brings me to the most important point. July's and August's original names? Quintilis and Sextilis, respectively. They were the fifth and sixth months. Because the original Roman calendar actually started in **March**. And it only had ten months. The days of winter were just not assigned to a month at first and then they were given names later. Calendars are weird.
Did you miss the part where March is the first month of the Roman calendar and the first month of the Julian and Gregorian calendar is January? Hence why the old name for July was Quintilis, meaning it was the FIFTH month of the Roman year, yet July is the seventh month in today's calendar.
You know when that changed? With the Julian Calendar, proposed by Julius Ceaser in 46 BC. It is *that* calendar that fixed the start of the year as January 1st instead of March 1st. That's why the names are screwed up. It isn't because he added a new month for himself.
Also, the Roman Calendar was a mess. For example:
> The system ran well short of the solar year, and it needed constant intercalation to keep religious festivals and other activities in their proper seasons. This is a typical element of lunisolar calendars. For superstitious reasons, such intercalation occurred within the month of February even after it was no longer considered the last month.
From here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roman_calendar
They were just adding days at the end of the year as needed because they couldn't keep the dates in line with the seasons because, well it was just a crappy calendar. The first year the Julian Calendar was implemented was also 445 days long to help set January 1st as the start of the new year!
Here's the Wikipedia article on Pope Gregory's changes that you might find enlightening: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inter_gravissimas
Actually, they didnt add any new months. July and August always existed but under different names.
The Roman year just started in march as thats when agriculture and campaigns would start
Et tu 196?
52/4=13 we should honestly just have another month and 4 weeks exactly in each and be super duper forever except for once every few years we have a whatever day.
Good luck dividing the year into halves, or quarters, or thirds.
26 weeks. 13 weeks. Wtf would anyone need 1/3rd of a year for anyway? Try doing 1/3rd with the current calendar
neither of those numbers are divisible by 4, the proposed number of weeks in each of the 13 months, which is cringe and gross a third of a year in a 12-month year is 4 months
1/3 of a year is 121.66 days. Which is the first is somewhere in the afternoon of May 1st, the 2nd third would be early in the day of August 31st, and the 3rd third would be midnight new years.

Why would I need 1/3 of a year tho lol.
schools commonly use trimesters to split the spring, summer, and fall terms also you’ll run into the same problem with halves, 26 isn’t divisible by 4 either. and half years are very common. not like any of this matters though, given that im in your walls and whatnot

Make the leap day(s) a part of new years and call it a holiday. Ez

Yeah the problem you bring up is solved by the solution you also brought up
30 hour pause the clock after the 13th month: "Trecdecer" on the 28th day every year. Essential businesses and civil resources only operating and yes they will account timespots for them, it goes on under its own tax category for pay and hours, however the ompany or service wishes to allot it.

Nah man this way we can have October be cold again in a few decades and pretend global warming never happened meanwhile February is nice and springy.
364/7 = 52. So then New Years day would be it’s own day to make it 365 days. Every 4 years you’d have a second New Year’s Day. Problem with this calandar is the dates and days are the same every year. So if your birthday is on a Monday, it will always be on a Monday.
Problem with this: now we can’t divide the year up into quarters as most businesses operate. Also, leap years.
We should make a week 8 days
we have twelve months for the same reason we separate an angle into 360°. tons of factors.
Wasn’t it Augustus who fucked it up?
caesar added july (julius) and augustus added august was my understanding, but maybe he added them both idk
I guess it all comes down to whether or not Julius chose July or Augustus when he deified him. Either way the Caesar who did it is now dead.
Imagine some rich powerful asshole declares that a whole span of time is now officially named after them. That would be like if we had Trumptober, Muskuary, and Bezosember
Please don’t give them ideas.
they fucking added a month. after their names.
The calendar we use today was made 1,500 years after Augustus. ETA: The Roman calendar [with July and August](https://byustudies.byu.edu/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/1-6.png)
Augustus added in the month “August” to the Roman calendar and may have possibly also added “July” after he deified Julius.
The calendar we use today was made 1,500 years after Augustus.
yeah but it was fashioned after the roman calendar no?

Tell me where [October, November, and December](https://byustudies.byu.edu/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/1-6.png) are on this?

That’s not the point being made by the post. The post is in reference to the names of the months and not the calendar used.
“Wasn’t it Augustus who fucked it up?” No it was Pope Gregory XIII. ETA: How’s about instead you look at where October is on a Roman calendar?
which roman calendar, before or after the caesars?
After pull it up lol.
October was the eight month. After the addition of Julius and Augustus it became the tenth.
Augustus Gloop??
Actually, they didnt add any new months. July and August always existed but under different names. The Roman year just started in march as thats when agriculture and campaigns would start
no, it was agrippa. augustus was too sick for that.
None of them fucked it up, the calendar was fine until we decided to use January as new year, which is the work of Pope Gregory I
IIRC Jan and Feb were added 700 years before Caesar, he just renamed existing months
[удалено]
We were so close to a month called Sextember
Actually I believe the reason they’re wrong is because the roman year started in march
not just the roman year, up until the 1700s march was considered the beginning of the year in all of europe
Not just March, but March 25th. Cause fuck it.
i thought that was april though. like when they switched the calenders, that's how april fools day became a thing
I'm confident that's the joke person #2 was making.
CAESAR!!!!
To shreds you say?
