You can also go 3D. January 8, February 5, March 4, April 8 would be 4 in a stack.

thank goodness i can see time in 3d now. this wont end badly.

[-] ICastFist@programming.dev 8 points 2 months ago

Seeing time in 3D, mayhaps like a Time Cube?

Holy shit, what an opener, and then the second paragraph is the perfect punchline. I think the wiki editors knew exactly what they were doing.

[-] jh29a@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 2 months ago

huh? please elaborate. The opening paragraph of the time cube article appears normal

[-] Excrubulent@slrpnk.net 2 points 2 months ago

It is entertaining.

What if we add a 4th dimension with years?

[-] TranquilTurbulence@lemmy.zip 3 points 2 months ago

Sure. That would be 4 days in a… well stack is already taken, so what do we call that?

[-] Sparky@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 2 months ago

Maybe a box, or a jumbo stack

[-] TranquilTurbulence@lemmy.zip 2 points 2 months ago

Four days in a box. It’s settled then.

[-] intensely_human@lemm.ee 4 points 2 months ago

That’s the third dimension of time. You playing 6D chess over here

[-] TranquilTurbulence@lemmy.zip 3 points 2 months ago

If you include multiple years, you can add one more dimension.

[-] Szyler@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

That's only moving in the third dimension without moving in any other.

If you have movement in all 3 dimensions, you get January 1, February 6, March 13, April 25.

Thats diagonally and stacked.

[-] TranquilTurbulence@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 month ago

Diagonal for the win!
