8 days in a week

Stupid fuckin anon pretending like fuckin Pimsday and Churbisday just somehow magically fuckin aren’t.

[–] Kusimulkku@lemm.ee 18 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Pimsday, brought to you by Pimm's No. 1 Cup

[–] Corkyskog@sh.itjust.works 8 points 2 months ago (2 children)

What are you supposed to drink that stuff with?

[–] Kusimulkku@lemm.ee 7 points 2 months ago

A summer long drink, the Pimm's cup is made with Pimm's No. 1 Cup, an English-style (clear and carbonated) lemonade, lemon or lime juice and various chopped garnishes, particularly apple, cucumber, orange, lemon, strawberry and mint or borage, though mint is more common. Ginger ale or ginger beer is used as a common substitute for lemonade. All liquid ingredients are added to a highball glass with ice, followed by garnishes.

Got me interested ever since I heard about it in Boardwalk Empire

regret.

(Kidding, it's delicious)

[–] Knock_Knock_Lemmy_In@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

Is it Pimm's o'clock already?

[–] prettybunnys@sh.itjust.works 8 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Don’t get me started on Plurday

[–] Zink@programming.dev 6 points 2 months ago

Plurday is when me and the boys go to the clurb.

This is almost definitely a shit post from /x/ targeting the mandela effect or similar.

[–] Kusimulkku@lemm.ee 14 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Could also just be a joke. Or both

Shit posts are not jokes. Shit posts are serious business.

[–] EvilCartyen@feddit.dk 4 points 2 months ago

Implying jokes aren't serious business.... Puhlease

[–] Kusimulkku@lemm.ee 5 points 2 months ago (1 children)

It's possible it's not a shitpost

[–] jabathekek@sopuli.xyz 9 points 2 months ago

It's possible it's a schizopost.

[–] Early_To_Risa@sh.itjust.works 17 points 2 months ago

We have forgotten

They come from a parallel universe where the lunar month is about 4 days longer than ours.

[–] LostXOR@fedia.io 5 points 2 months ago (1 children)

No total solar eclipses for them. :(

[–] Lumidaub@feddit.org 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

What why? Their moon is still the same size and while orbiting their same size Earth it moves between that Earth and their same size sun to cast a shadow on that Earth. Wouldn't it?

[–] LostXOR@fedia.io 7 points 2 months ago (1 children)

The Moon is just barely big enough for total solar eclipses as is. If the lunar month was 4 days longer, the Moon would be (31.3/27.3)^(2/3)=9.54% farther away, and thus around 9.5% smaller. The maximum size ratio between the Moon and Sun is around 1.08 so it would never be large enough in the sky for a total eclipse.

[–] Lumidaub@feddit.org 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Okay, makes sense, but isn't the distance between Earth and the moon uh... shri.... grow... changing over time? So at some point in the past or future (or maybe even currently?), the distance would have been / would be the correct one for total eclipses.

[–] LostXOR@fedia.io 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

It is, but that's only significant over a period of millions of years.

[–] Lumidaub@feddit.org 2 points 2 months ago (2 children)

So just like we happen to live in that precise time where total eclipses are possible, the Logday people may have lived or may one day live in a time where the moon is the right distance. No need to pity those fuckers.

[–] LostXOR@fedia.io 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

If they evolved around the same time we did, they're unfortunately out of luck. But maybe life was a bit faster because of the 8 day weeks. :P

[–] Lumidaub@feddit.org 2 points 2 months ago

... well okay then. Hope you're happy, with your logic and knowing stuff about shit. ;)

we also live in the specific period of time where the sun hasnt fucking exploded yet.

6 work days per week

Society improved since then

[–] ItzzMe@midwest.social 22 points 2 months ago

one could also suppose that logsday was a free day, and the evil spooky shadow government removed it to make us work more

[–] superkret@feddit.org 29 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Penis Inspection Day is missing too.

[–] VitoRobles@lemmy.today 8 points 2 months ago

You had it weekly?

Ours was just once a year and often in the dark corners of the school. For privacy i think.

[–] driving_crooner@lemmy.eco.br 25 points 2 months ago

Caturday is also missing 😿

[–] arotrios@lemmy.world 24 points 2 months ago

Anon missed log day...

[–] Etterra@discuss.online 21 points 2 months ago

Reminds me of when the colors purange and grurple disappeared back in the late 80s. Life hasn't been the same since. And didn't get me started on when bludini vanished.

[–] JokeDeity@lemm.ee 2 points 2 months ago

I would see this right after watching the god awful movie The Forgotten.
