Are you dating a spreadsheet?

Gotta remain positive and see the glass half full, or January 2nd depending on the cell format.

She's so perfect. Literally not a single flaw. She's a 1.

[-] Localhorst86@feddit.org 16 points 2 months ago

Excel would say Oct. 10

He’s got all access to that one

If your mind goes to "spreadsheet" instead of "calendar," that says more about your... proclivities... than it does his!

[-] callouscomic@lemm.ee 13 points 2 months ago

It's really more of a DataFrame I've mismanaged. Which might be why I'm struggling to handle my relationships.

Now that's quality showerthinking

[-] Coelacanth@feddit.nu 12 points 2 months ago

This is what it's all about right here.

[-] Sundial@lemm.ee 82 points 2 months ago

First post here that kind of fucked me up for a moment.

[-] TheSpookiestUser@lemmy.world 75 points 2 months ago

this hit me like a mental flashbang. your wisdom is beyond all of us

[-] taiyang@lemmy.world 71 points 2 months ago

Yes, and if we're playing my connect 4 rules, you can also aim for a Monday - Tuesday - Wednesday - Thursday diagonal.

[-] TranquilTurbulence@lemmy.zip 52 points 2 months ago

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

[-] Ferris@infosec.pub 27 points 2 months ago

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?

[-] Excrubulent@slrpnk.net 4 points 2 months ago

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.

If you see someone on Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday, that counts as only three days in a row, since Monday is on another row. If you see somebody on four consecutive Tuesdays, that would be four days in a column.

Like this

[-] half_built_pyramids@lemmy.world 14 points 2 months ago

What if the Mondays span different months?

Like 8/19, 8/26, 9/2, 9/9?

Now the Mondays are on another page or they're a swipe to the right

[-] brbposting@sh.itjust.works 14 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Maybe!

Bonus!! Love this concept:

Some context:

[-] bottleofchips@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 points 2 months ago

The bonus is absolutely terrifying

[-] brbposting@sh.itjust.works 6 points 2 months ago

If you can, hope you make today a great day 🌈

Looking at my life calendar every day for a few months really kicked my life into gear.

My advice is just open it up and look at it once per day. You don’t have to do anything else. Make sure it’s one where the current week is marked.

This what a calendar does to a mf

[-] xep@fedia.io 26 points 2 months ago

Are you perchance Bobby Tables?

[-] solidgrue@lemmy.world 20 points 2 months ago

I see where this question is leading, and I don't think I like the implications

[-] SorteKanin@feddit.dk 6 points 2 months ago

... Where is it leading?

[-] jaybone@lemmy.world 19 points 2 months ago

Get your ducks in a column.

[-] Randelung@lemmy.world 19 points 2 months ago

No, it's boating related. Four days in a sail.

[-] Etterra@lemmy.world 15 points 2 months ago

I'm going to make the executive choice of saying that yes. Yes it does mean that.

[-] SacredHeartAttack@lemmy.world 13 points 2 months ago

I absolutely love this.

Life is row-order; suck it, FORTRAN

[-] muntedcrocodile@lemm.ee 6 points 2 months ago

So whats first day of the year 4 years in a row?

[-] morgunkorn@discuss.tchncs.de 5 points 2 months ago

In a three dimensional calendar that could work, 4 days deep ?

[-] noxy@yiffit.net 5 points 2 months ago

There is no human entity, just human Cubics - as in 4 different people in a 4 corner stage metamorphic rotation.

4 corner quadrants compose Earth sphere, as 4corner room with 4corner dimensions, with 4corner perspectives and the 4seasons. Earth's 4corners rotate 4corners of TIME, creating 4simultaneous day Earth rotation, as if 4 different Worlds with their own day, for 4separate races with 4corner life stages, with outer limits of 4x4 great-grandparents.

(sorry, I couldn't resist!)

[-] tektite@slrpnk.net 5 points 2 months ago

Evil Ass Educators Suppress Time Cube, and dumb ass students condone such evil. Cubeless institutions are spreaders of evil, and students lack mentality to challenge it.


I bestow upon myself the "Doctorate of Cubicism", for educators are ignorant of Nature's Harmonic Time Cube Principle and cannot bestow the prestigious honor of wisdom upon the wisest human ever.

I'd say so.

Although I still think it's weird that "consecutive" became a requirement.

Edit: Not implying blame for OP about the requirement. But colloquially it does mean consecutive, and I think that's a little strange. Probably a weird etymology rabbit hole to look at sometime.

Well you're not seeing them periodically. That would require them being on the same row.

[-] lengau@midwest.social 3 points 2 months ago

Not necessarily.

It could be five days in a column then there are five Mondays in a month (like this month).

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. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics
    • 3.1) NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    • 3.2) Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    • 3.3) Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct
