... That's why it's so difficult to remember to do someting every 2nd or 3rd day.

Remembering to do something each day or every 7th day (e.g. every Friday) on the other hand is easy.

There are now at least a dozen calendar reformists edging on posting a rant about this lol.

Worth noting though that this has mostly stuck around because any attempt to switch to a more divisible week structure is met with resistance from Christians and Jews since going off 7s messes with their calendars.

Of course you could use just two liminal days inserted outside of the standard month or week and basically have a calendar where holidays stop jumping dates.

Showerthoughts

A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The most popular seem to be lighthearted clever little truths, hidden in daily life.

Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts:

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. No politics
    • If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as "capitalism" and "communism". If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
    • A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct and the TOS

If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.

Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report, the message goes away and you never worry about it.
