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

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.

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

[-] NegativeInf@lemmy.world 16 points 1 month ago

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

[-] lemmyng@lemmy.ca 17 points 1 month 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.

[-] PrincessLeiasCat@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 month ago

I can respect this.

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

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

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

End (noun)

  1. Either extremity of something that has length.
[-] Szyler@lemmy.world 2 points 4 weeks ago

"THE" weekend, singular.

End (noun) 3. "The point in time when an action, event, or phenomenon ceases or is completed; the conclusion."

[-] jaggedrobotpubes@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

Start it when it ends, turn it upside down, light the whole thing on fire. Pure anarchy.

[-] Quexotic@sh.itjust.works 18 points 1 month ago

Rocksolid argument.

[-] PmMeFrogMemes@lemmy.world 12 points 1 month ago

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

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

[-] Hadriscus@lemm.ee 2 points 1 month ago

The reason thursday is in the list is because of it containing the letter H. Check its position in the alphabet

[-] frickineh@lemmy.world 71 points 1 month ago

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

[-] kryptonianCodeMonkey@lemmy.world 56 points 1 month ago

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

[-] dariusj18@lemmy.world 30 points 1 month ago

Sounds like someone has synesthesia.

[-] toynbee@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago

Synesthesia is a fascinating affliction.

[-] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

I beg to differ. It's just a state of being.

[-] toynbee@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

I sincerely hesitated before posting that, unsure of the word "affliction." I've only ever known one person with it and they didn't seem to suffer from it. However, their view of the world absolutely was fascinating.

I intend no denigration of anyone with synesthesia. However, for anyone with it reading this, I'd love to learn more from you.

[-] ggtdbz@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 points 1 month 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.

I see them as all darker colored, like a sunset but not quite night.

[-] pelespirit@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 month ago

Weekends are always dark to me, I kind of hate it.

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

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

[-] synae@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 4 weeks ago

bouba, not kiki

This broke me. The dot … over the i. That broke me. I’m … I’m done.

[-] weariedfae@lemmy.world 22 points 1 month ago

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

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

October is way more yellow than Thursdsay.

[-] Cosmonaut_Collin@lemmy.world 2 points 4 weeks ago

October is Blue

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

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

Thursday is purple though.

[-] hactar42@lemmy.ml 13 points 1 month ago

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

[-] cazssiew@lemmy.world 20 points 1 month ago
[-] itslilith 3 points 1 month ago
[-] nelly_man@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

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

[-] tetris11@lemmy.ml 2 points 4 weeks ago

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

[-] Michal@programming.dev 11 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month 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 4 weeks 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

[-] roscoe@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 4 weeks ago* (last edited 4 weeks 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

[-] Revan343@lemmy.ca 2 points 4 weeks ago

Huh, neat. Thanks

[-] synae@lemmy.sdf.org 5 points 4 weeks ago

Somebody should stab one of those fuckers

I have some fantastic news for you

[-] Kit 8 points 4 weeks ago

It feels more like 7pm to me

[-] restingboredface@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 month ago

I know October kind of implies this but I'd add Halloween to this group.

[-] finitebanjo@lemmy.world 3 points 4 weeks ago

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