Oh I get it, mid to late year, mid to late week, and mid to late in the day.

[-] celsiustimeline@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 4 hours ago

I'll go one step further and say 7:15 pm hits way different than 8:37 am.

[-] Kit@lemmy.blahaj.zone 8 points 20 hours ago

It feels more like 7pm to me

[-] Dkarma@lemmy.world 6 points 21 hours ago

Wrong.

Thur 4/7 October 10/12 8pm. 8/12

[-] NikkiDimes@lemmy.world 9 points 20 hours ago* (last edited 20 hours ago)

Take out weekends and include all 24 hours of the day:

Thursday 4/5 = 0.8
October 10/12 = 0.833
8pm 20/24 = 0.833

[-] driving_crooner@lemmy.eco.br 1 points 3 hours ago

Why taking out weekends? In that case take out December and 23 to 7 too.

[-] Michal@programming.dev 11 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

"Octo" in October means eight. Makes sense.

I don't know about Thursday, i dont feel the same connection.

[-] Revan343@lemmy.ca 11 points 22 hours ago

"Octo" in October means eight.

Well it did, then some assholes named Julius and Augustus had to fuck it up. Somebody should stab one of those fuckers

Somebody should stab one of those fuckers

I have some fantastic news for you

[-] roscoe@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 21 hours ago* (last edited 20 hours ago)

Common misconception.

July and August were renamed. The original names were derived from five and six. The extra two months that threw everything off were January and February. When 5-10 were named January and February didn't even have names, it was just that cold period when there was no planting or harvesting. There were a bunch of other changes to the calendar over the centuries before we got where we are too.

Decent overview here: https://study.com/academy/lesson/the-ancient-roman-calendar-history-months-saints.html

Huh, neat. Thanks

[-] milicent_bystandr@lemm.ee 8 points 1 day ago

It's the eighth day of the week, duh.

[-] weariedfae@lemmy.world 21 points 1 day ago

I agree with October and 8 pm but not Thursday. Thursday is too yellow to be October.

[-] jol@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 22 hours ago

Thursday is purple though.

[-] Klear@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

October is way more yellow than Thursdsay.

[-] Cosmonaut_Collin@lemmy.world 1 points 22 hours ago

October is Blue

[-] TheFriar@lemm.ee 4 points 1 day ago

October is too golden and burnt umber to not be Thursday.

[-] weariedfae@lemmy.world 1 points 21 hours ago

You're right about October being burnt umber but it's burnt umber, red, and other reddish orange hues. Thursday is like a bright yellow which is more like September.

[-] A_Union_of_Kobolds@lemmy.world 200 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Thursday = 4/7 = 0.571

8pm = 20/24 = 0.833

October = 10/12 = 0.833

Saturday =6/7 = 0.857

Unless you only count work days, then Thurs = 4/5 = 0.8

I rest my case

Don't some cultures start their calendar week on Saturday? If so then Thursday is 6/7 for that specific use case.

Submitting to the Journal of Useful Bullshit.

Some fancy academic website will charge us $40 to read our own work and we won’t get paid.

[-] lemmyng@lemmy.ca 24 points 1 day ago

Thursday is 5/7 if you're one of those uncivilized people who start the week in Sunday.

[-] NegativeInf@lemmy.world 15 points 1 day ago

I like to think of weekends like bookends, sandwiching the work week between freedom.

[-] lemmyng@lemmy.ca 18 points 1 day ago

To me the weekend is the end of the week. I don't start the week on its end, so by elimination the week starts on Monday.

[-] davidagain@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

But it also finishes on a Friday, so 4/5, not 4/7.

[-] A7thStone@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

End (noun)

  1. Either extremity of something that has length.

This is incredible

[-] Quexotic@sh.itjust.works 18 points 2 days ago

Rocksolid argument.

[-] PmMeFrogMemes@lemmy.world 12 points 2 days ago

ok yes October being equivalent to Saturday makes much more sense. best day of the week = best month of the year

They're all almost the end of the thing but not the very end. Of course they're the same thing.

[-] kryptonianCodeMonkey@lemmy.world 58 points 2 days ago

They're also round, warm colored, and soft/smooth. I will not be taking follow up questions.

[-] synae@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 18 hours ago

bouba, not kiki

[-] Hadriscus@lemm.ee 4 points 1 day ago

Really ? that's too funny... to me they're warm, a bit soft, balanced & fair, and very finely textured

[-] ggtdbz@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 1 day ago

Thursday is like this.

I literally cannot for the life of me explain why.

But خميس? The name of Thursday in my native Arabic?

Ah but Jeudi, the French name. Sun high in the sky. Very round.

I cannot even begin to explain.

Is there a word for the thing before the penultimate? Because that would be it.

[-] cazssiew@lemmy.world 21 points 1 day ago
[-] nelly_man@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

And following (or preceding) that, there is: preantepenultimate and propreantepenultimate.

[-] tetris11@lemmy.ml 2 points 21 hours ago

I don't know what ultimate penmanship and propane accessories have to do with this discussion.
