if we were to get rid of a month, which month would go and why?

[hollow sparrow]

Answer now.

[oblique isle]

November, because thanksgiving is useless to me

[lilac river]

July, I just don’t see a point. You already have April and May.

At least those have “April showers make May flowers” attached. What does July have, a firework show? Bull hockey. And another thing, it’s the SHORTEST school month. Even NERDS hate it! Heck, I’d even say April or may! Also, sorry for the wall of text. TLDR: Nix may.

[bright berry]

March, hands down

Something about March just rustles my feathers and idk why lol

[oblique saddle]

Febuary. Not only the deadliest month, also short and leap-years cause confusion. And no, Valentine’s Day is not worth keeping Feburary

[lilac river]

Those too, we have enough generic spring-summer months. Spring is the most underwhelming season. I heard Valentines was 3 days, but because it sucked, we condensed it into one.

[oblique saddle]

I’m in favor of getting rid of feburary and extending autumn by 28¼ days

[lilac river]

Give it all to January, it’s the Maryland of months. My birthdays in it too, so bias

[oblique saddle]

No, January is still winter. And having a month that has 59 (sometimes 60) days would be a nightmare. Also my birthday is in May and even i agree May with 59 days would be hellish.

[lilac river]

Fair. Maybe like, a split between all months.

[oblique saddle]

That seems fair, though I wanted to split the days between September, November (only early Novermber) and especially October. We need more spooky month. I can understand that might mess up the calendar tho.

[lilac river]

Wait, let’s split Feb between the months with only 30 days.

So that’s 28 1/4 into 4ths.
And that means every 30 month gets 7 1/16 more days.

[oblique saddle]

Those months will finally get a lucky break

[lilac river]

Yeah, but then- I was about to say what about the 31’s, but they’ve had it too good for too long. We’ll just move everyone’s birthday over to that equivalent day. All in favor of removing Feb?

[rough tundra]

March

[lilac river]

Why

[rough tundra]

Idk, I cant think of anything that i really care about that happens in march

[lilac river]

Generally march-July is kind of boring

[rough tundra]

Nah keep june+july

[lilac river]

Also wait, we should get rid of 2 months. October, like OCTO, is the 10th month! And all the other -embers are being oppressed too! I vote for February and if I had to, August.

[oblique saddle]

Goodbye august

[rough tundra]

Not october cuz its my bday month, But maybe a rename to decatober or smth

[oblique saddle]

It’s Julius Caeser, he messed everything up

[lilac river]

We’re making it the 8th so it can truly be Octo, I hope you may understand.

[rough tundra]

So what month gets the role of October?

[lilac river]

December, it’s the 10th because Deca.

[oblique saddle]

How about we just kill July and Augustus. So the numbers go back to normal.

[cobalt bay]

That's fair. Seeing as all the birthdays will just be moved to other months, It doesn't really matter that it's a birth month. It's also excruciatingly hot.

[lilac river]

I was thinking February and August, and we’d split the 59 1/4 days between the others. I’m only not doing January because birth bias, so we can do that too. Either way, nix February, and August sucks.

[oblique saddle]

Sure. February isn’t actually named after a person anyway so we have nobody to offend. And nobody cares about Augustus anyway.

[cobalt bay]

I totally agree.

[lilac river]

Like, either way February is going, but we can do any other non -ber month. Those ones are too good, they have 3 “holidays” in a row.

[celest mica]

July because I never cared too much for it

[oblique saddle]

August can go. I’d also be fine with sacking all of January expect the first 3 days, but I know your birthday is in January so ill be nice.

[cobalt bay]

October is the best month and that's why nobody has nominated to eliminate it.

[lilac river]

My day is in the first 3, so that works well. @cobalt bay yes, any -ber month at all is too good to lose

[oblique saddle]

Yeah i’m down to give October the most days form the dead months

[lilac river]

We can’t have an even split with the days, that’s boring. It’d be like every US state border was square

[cobalt bay]

October is the best month for so many reasons that I can only name 3:

• Best weather
• 👻HALLOWEEN🎃
• (bad) bugs start going away

[oblique saddle]

Give some to May. Its my birthmonth.

[lilac river]

Yeah, let’s give some to May.

[quiet gorge]

Get rid of January it’s too damn cold

[cobalt bay]

Don't give any to July 😈(even though it's my birth month)

• hot weather bad

[lilac river]

Ok, but New Years, so like, one week is good.

[quiet gorge]

Just make it in February and then you have a whole month of (fun) holidays

[cobalt bay]

We already agreed to get rid of February

[lilac river]

I’m gonna write a list of all the changes thus far, and some new ideas

[rough tundra]

February just feels like january 2

[cobalt bay]

February and August are getting eliminated
Only the 1st week of January is staying
October is being given the most days
What else

[lilac river]

CALENDAR 2
365 1/4 days
Umbrember: 7 days.
Dinember: 39 days
Tritember: 41 days
Quadratember: 41 days
Pentember: 30 days
Hextember: 39 days (+leap day)
September: 41 days
October: 46 days
November: 41 days
December: 31 days
Subjective to change

I kept December as it was bc it’s Christmas

[oblique saddle]

Sounds good. But december has 31 days?

[lilac river]

I’ve changed it to reflect this

[oblique saddle]

K

[cobalt bay]

more should be in October and less in July in my opinion

[lilac river]

Good idea I moved 2 from J to O

Now here’s an idea: RENAMING THE MONTHS, because we need more distinguishment

[celest mica]

I second. It’s also my birth month

[upbeat tangle]

get rid of feburary, no need for it to be so short. just stop existing

[cobalt bay]

keep -ber months

[fading spindle]

dont get rid of february thats when my birthday is 😰

[prime grotto]

June, so I can be immortal lol

[cinder pecan]

September

We already have August to be the end of summer and October to be the start of fall. What does September even do anyways??

[fading spindle]

you raise a good point

[cinder pecan]

The only thing you do in September is wait for October, November, and December to come.

[rancid bolt]

Why would you want September to have 41 days
September SUCKS!

[fading spindle]

november too

[marsh dew]

My birthdays in July :((

But anyways, I would get rid of either August or March 😍

[fading spindle]

actually, we can get rid of most of february and keep only the 24th

[hexed ravine]

My birthdays in August :((

[marsh dew]

.. okay scratch August, mybe jus March 👨‍🦲

[hexed ravine]

yeah I can’t think of anything important in March, let’s get rid of it

[marsh dew]

🥳

[raw lily]

SEPTEMBER its not even a month in my head

[oblique saddle]

Rename july to hexember

[coarse scaffold]

offended as a July baby

June should go bc when I was younger I pretended that June didn't exist just to be older than my friend

[cobalt bay]

As a July baby myself I'm glad to see you that it doesn't have many days

[oblique saddle]

Stay offended, july’s gotta go

[cobalt bay]

Even if it does go you'll just be relocated to like September or October (October best month)

[coarse scaffold]

no, June's gotta go

[oblique saddle]

No, if june goes kids will never leave school.

[cobalt bay]

no

[coarse scaffold]

February is best month, and also @oblique saddle they'll get out of school quicker, it ends in June (at least over here it does)

oh btw February is best month for obvious reasons teehee

[cobalt bay]

EXCUSE ME H O W ????? ( How in the world is February the best month please tell me I have no idea [edit your post with needed answers])

[oblique saddle]

Feburary sucks. It’s deadly, it’s too short, and it causes confusion. And besides, the new calendar has already been decided here. If you don’t like it too bad so sad. #1034977662566936746 message

[coarse scaffold]

39 days of July??? let's gooo, but Feb should come back for aforementioned obvious reasons

[cobalt bay]

Please what reasons man?????????????

[oblique saddle]

We can do without Valentine’s day. All it does is make single people feel sad.

[cobalt bay]

Wait Valentine's Day is the reason???? Let's go I'm not affected by the obvious reasons! (what are they if not [February is too cold])

[coarse scaffold]

no, I enjoy watching happy couples and also February is a good month bc it's cold but not too cold, perfect temp

also let's remember that getting rid of months doesn't get rid of temps or holidays, they'll just be moved to diff months

so now according to the calender March is the new February

[cobalt bay]

I thought we were deleting the months and everything related to it out of existence

[oblique saddle]

“Cold but not too cold” bro do you live in Panama or something?
And anyway, we ARE messing with the calendar year here, by extending fall and stuff. And anyway, even if we didn’t, then i’d still get rid of febuary cuz its shortness makes it mess up months calculations.

[coarse scaffold]

in that case we should get rid of December because Christmas sucks, I'm not religious and all gifts end up being trash anyways so no point in keeping it

also no I live in a cold place but Feb is enjoyable, we stan the springtime

fuck yo calculations /not mad /j

Christmas and Easter are the worst imo, no one has easter as their fav holiday and if you say you do youre lying

[cobalt bay]

Valentine's Day is the worst holiday by far (most of the time), change my mind.
(I have many reasons)

[oblique saddle]

Why tf do you want to get rid of december? It fits in with the other months, is not that good, has awesome holidays (you can celebrate Christmas secularly you know), is not the deadliest month, and no, you don’t live in a cold place if Feburary is enjoyable.
It’s clear you’re just being contrarian, and the new calendar is already in effect anyway and there’s nothing you can do to change it. I agree Easter can be gotten rid of tho

[coarse scaffold]

yes I can; using the true calendar instead of the new one

and Im Canadian so yes I do live in a cold place

I protest jackets

also I looked up the deadliest month and its mainly January and December popping up

[oblique saddle]

My mistake; you’re one of those people who’s cold receptors have broken after staying outside without a jacket for too long. Feburary is still objectively miserable tho.
And anyway, you can use your terrible, unbalanced, frankly awful calendar all you want, while we will actually progress as a society to better ways to count the days

[coarse scaffold]

I'm scrolling and seeing no February

[oblique saddle]

I actually can’t find any real info on the deadliest month online (based on stuff that isn’t disease or war related) anymore; the pandemic must have messed up the search results talking about the deadliest month of the pandemic

[coarse scaffold]

all im getting from this is that your sources are outdated

[oblique saddle]

No, lol. What i saw probably said that Febuary had the most deaths averaged instead, as it has much less days than January (i told you febuary fucks up every month-related calculation)

[coarse scaffold]

then just shorten every other month if that's febs only issue

sort them out EVENLY this time, also what are the other issues besides it being too cold

[oblique saddle]

1. Not the only issue. Have you been reading anything I’ve said? YOU can’t seem to come up with a good reason to keep it around, anyway!
2. Where, exactly, would the extra days go? We’re trying to keep it around 365 1/4 days here, so it matches up with the solar year.

Sorting them out evenly removes the whole point. You yourself clearly hold beliefs stating some months are better than others; we have the same beliefs, expect we don’t like stupid awful months like Febuary (sorry, that was mean)

[coarse scaffold]

nah all months are the same I just really like February for some reason

well if you don't like the cold then why do you like December??? if you don't like the calculations give it more days

most of your reasons is that it's unbalanced, so just balance it

[oblique saddle]

December isn’t THAT cold (ok its kinda cold), and december holidays make it worth it. Also that means lots of days off from school
And, no, ONE of my reasons is that it’s unbalanced.

And still, you haven’t given me a single good reason for why we should keep it besides you liking it irrationally.

[coarse scaffold]

change the holidays, if Christmas isn't secular the dates don't really matter and there goes the break too bc the break is for Christmas, and you can get days off in March too, I know some people who get fall break

also December is KNOWN for being cold so idk what you mean by that

February is the month with the best temperatures (spring and fall are elite), there's no weeds or bugs and it has a cool name

[oblique saddle]

All reasons we should kill febuary:
-deadliest month
-leap days have been confusing calendars forever
-its way too cold
-being shortest messes up all sorts of monthly statistics as well as monthly calculations
-its days are better need elsewhere (like spooky month)
-there’s not that much about it that makes it deserve to stay
-its not named after anybody, so we have nobody to offend by killing it.

Meanwhile you are coming up with bogus reasons to explain why other months need to go, grasping at straws (Also febuary isn’t spring; are you insane). “Just change the months” to justify killing of december. And you say that december is cold, as if you didn’t just say febuary wasn’t. And Christmas/Winter break is much longer than fall and spring breaks.

Whine all you want, nothing’s changing. Use your outdated calendar if you want. I don’t really care.

[coarse scaffold]

literally most of those points can be summarized by "too less days"

way too cold... December???

spooky month doesn't need all its days, October 31st is iconic

and February IS warmer than December????

bet I WILL use the SUPERIOR calendar and there's nothing you can do about it

[oblique saddle]

Hey, I’m not stopping you from using an old and outdated calendar for no reason other than you being attached for some reason to a winter month you claims is spring that you don’t have any good reasons for keeping. Stay behind, meanwhile we’ll be making a better future without you.

Don’t try to argue with me; we’re not gonna get anywhere

[coarse scaffold]

youll never have a better future with December and Easter, mark my words

youre giving up? ggs I win

[oblique saddle]

💀 man i love when people try to bait me back into an argument by claiming they “won” when they actually wouldn’t listen to facts or anything. Too bad im being a better person and not falling for it this time.
Aight bye

[coarse scaffold]

well, arguments aren't about being right, it's about lasting longer, if you wanted a discussion it couldve been one, but it wasn't

ggs

[cobalt bay]

ummm..... whoops? 🤷‍♂️

[rancid bolt]

August it gets in the way imo

[hexed ravine]

Gets in the way of what

[rancid bolt]

October

It makes things confusing and it makes me wait

[oak pelican]

Don’t get rid of spooky month

[rancid bolt]

No, August gets in the way of october

[hollow sparrow]

There's a possible birthday every single day so no matter what, somebody would lose their birthday

Also the days from the month removed are gone forever, not added to a different month

Also every month has a purpose (I think)

[lilac river]

We’re renaming every month-ber so each has a unique starting letter.

I’ve finished the New Calendar

[hexed ravine]

September is before October though?

[rancid bolt]

I MEANT SEPTEMBER SHIT LMAO

[west arch]

july AND august. fuck caesar he ruined the calendar

[hollow blade]

January

[raven steeple]

i'd get rid of march because it's my birth month.

[nimble zephyr]

september

[buoyant shuttle]

march February January because they were the most boring months of my life

[nimble zephyr]

yeah september january febuary march get rid of em
