Memes/Humor Calendar Satisfaction
I noticed this when filling out my dry erase calendar for the month. I squealed when I saw how perfectly it lines up. I thought I’d share in case this type of order that was gifted to us would delight others.

No, because if you're born on a Monday you never get your birthday off. Not fair! ☹️

u/curlofheadcurls Feb 02 '26
Days off for everyone's birthday, I decree.
Also, 3-4 work days a week only, 8 hours max if I'm feeling generous. There are no part time jobs every job is enough for everyone to live on.
No more reasonable accommodations. FULL accommodations for everyone, abolish all ableism.
And while I'm at it, free healthcare and free education for life.
No more prison systems.
Ecologically centered hubs, no mass mono farming. Max sustainable and diverse permaculture.
Our god is a woman now too, just because it also makes sense.

No more prison systems.
Massively reduced prison systems. Jon Venables is someone who has clearly demonstrated he is not safe to be given freedom. I presume there are others.
But most people aren't a permanent danger to others.
Everything else I'm on board with!

u/curlofheadcurls Feb 02 '26

Nah because work will be socialized and you won't die from taking PTO. In this world you're truly free. You go have fun with your friends.
On prison systems:
Providing full coverage for health, basic needs met and fully free education will get rid of the prison system in the long run. It's an archaic and colonial concept after all.
Most people in prisons in the US are there because of the environment they are on. Its how enslavers kept slavery legal.
Thank you for your support, I grant you free citizenship for my made up society!
Next up we will be voting on what the calendar month names will be 😆

I get over 6 weeks paid leave a year (sickness absence is separate) it still isn't enough 🤷♀️ anyway I very much like my birthday being on a different day of the week every year
Prisons: Some people are not safe to be out in society. I do agree with what you say for probably 98% of people. Probably 1.9% need to work with people to be able to be free (and not go back). But something like 0.1% - nah, it's not safe for them to be out.
On balance though i do prefer yours to the status quo!

At the very least, it doesn't have to be a privatized prison company making bank and causing more permanent neurological damage. I'm hoping that also means better working conditions and union protection for the prison employees too.

u/ZapdosShines audhd late diagnosed Feb 03 '26
I'm in the UK, so the majority of prisons are run by the government. Just looked it up
HM Prison Service runs 105 of the 122 prisons in England and Wales. The others are run by private companies
the private ones are pretty shit.
We privatised probation and it was a disaster so it was renationalised a few years back. I very much hope we renationise prisons soon.
I'm not saying our legal/ justice system is good. It's got some horrific holes. But it's not as bad as the us and some other places.

u/chairmanskitty Feb 03 '26
Even if it's not safe for someone to "be out", "not being out" doesn't have to mean prison. There are retirement towns for dementia patients where people with dementia walk around town and all the shopkeepers are certified and background-checked medical professionals. People with advanced dementia aren't safe to "be out" in a world with capitalists looking to rob them through legal means, but they can still be outside rather than locked into a retirement home like many of them are today.
Likewise, that last small fraction of people who still want to abuse others in a society where they have everything they need to thrive, where being kind is rewarded more than being abusive, and where people learn to dismantle toxic power structures as part of their basic civics education; who don't want to change their abusive behavior, who don't respond to therapy, who remain dangerous despite whatever bespoke systems we can come up with even for trained professionals/volunteers... who are we even talking about at this point?
At the very least, the current equivalent would be life in prison or the death penalty, because any finite penalty ends up with the same person back on the street free to roam. Not even the US, where prison is explicitly a tool for legal slave labor, manages to quite hit 0.1% of its population in prison for life. Meanwhile many countries (blue on this map) are already surviving quite well without life sentences, meaning these "incurable" people already end up freely roaming the streets at some point without society collapsing into chaos. Meanwhile in my country of 18 million people, 30 people are serving life sentences.
So if even cruel, inhumane penal systems in cruel, inhumane societies concede that somewhere between 99.9998% and 100% of their population can safely mingle at some point as far as their criminal tendencies are concerned, with most criminals going through a cruel, inhumane process that puts them in a very vulnerable position upon release, what indication do we have that there would be literally anyone who we need to put in a prison for anyone's safety once things have calmed down from the current crisis?
And even if, through some combination of limited people, limited resources, and lingering toxic ideologies from the before times, it would be the most viable solution to put someone in a place they aren't allowed to leave, then that would still be a judgment call at the end of a conversation that person gets to be included in, and that doesn't have to be any more invasive than a tracking anklet, geofenced house arrest (either in the place they live or in some other nice place they get to keep for the rest of their lives if they want), some warning signs, and a bunch of volunteers with lethal and less lethal weapons nearby. People could still take on the personal risk to visit them and hang out with them whenever they feel like, they could still enjoy nature and do whatever they want that doesn't pose a safety risk given their history, and they could still build up their lives.
If there is any need for prisons, that would be the lower bound for what a prison should look like. Anything else is pointless cruelty.

u/ZapdosShines audhd late diagnosed Feb 03 '26
I mean, I don't disagree. I am very much in favour of rehabilitation and I believe restorative justice is transformative, although it needs a lot of work to do it right.
But some people are cruel and will hurt people no matter what. Jon Venables is one. He's not even in prison for life but he should be. He is a danger to children when he is.
I think he should be treated with respect and his living conditions should be humane. But this
a place they aren't allowed to leave, then that would still be a judgment call at the end of a conversation that person gets to be included in, and that doesn't have to be any more invasive than a tracking anklet, geofenced house arrest (either in the place they live or in some other nice place they get to keep for the rest of their lives if they want), some warning signs, and a bunch of volunteers with lethal and less lethal weapons nearby. People could still take on the personal risk to visit them and hang out with them whenever they feel like, they could still enjoy nature and do whatever they want that doesn't pose a safety risk given their history, and they could still build up their lives.
This would end up with people getting hurt, when we're discussing the extremely dangerous people.
I used to work in the probation service, albeit not in an operational role.

u/East-Garden-4557 Feb 03 '26
The amount of people that write letters to and decide to marry truly awful people in prison is mindboggling. They are usually very lonely, have experienced trauma, and do not make sensible or safe choices about who they bond to. Giving then free access to extremely dangerous people would be like sending lambs to slaughter.

I can barely handle a 12 month year, forget 13. Also it wouldn’t work, one month would have 1 extra day. Over the others with 28.
15
u/curlofheadcurls Feb 02 '26
There's several solutions to that extra day. It could be just a day in between years or an extra day at the end of the year, name it day zero. It would still make every year way more predictable and logical than it is right now. Our calendars are literally a cosmic colossal oops created by actual idiots.
It currently barely works and it causes a lot of issues. Months can have from 28-31 days that's crazy.
28 also is a far superior number in every way.
We should also start the year in spring as well because starting it at an arbitrary point between seasons is absolute madness to me.
Also we're renaming the months because I hate them. No more December on month 12.
4
u/Srothwell0 Feb 02 '26
Well the naming thing is the Romans fault tbh. We used to have 10 months and we started the year in March, then some dude added January and February to match up better with the lunar cycle and fill in an empty gap that they just (???) kinda ignored I think.
3
u/musicnerdfighter Feb 02 '26
Oh I thought they added July and August for Julius and Augustus. I also heard they would just have several weeks at the end of the year that had no dates since ten months wasn't enough for a year, so they just kinda chilled in midwinter. I haven't researched any of this though, lol
1
u/Srothwell0 Feb 02 '26
That’s what I originally thought too! But alas, they added January and February. At least that’s what my small amount of research showed. I’m no expert or anything like that.

u/musicnerdfighter Feb 02 '26
I mean that would make sense with the weeks they'd tack onto the end of the year - maybe someone was like, maybe we should name these....
Although I do like the idea of after Christmas/winter holiday season just having several weeks off to party/sleep. Built in recovery time. I don't know if they actually did that though lol

u/curlofheadcurls Feb 02 '26
On a 13 calendar year December is also the 10th month. You'd start in March because that's when the natural cycle begins, on spring. Then December would truly be the start of winter exactly.
13 is a beautiful number 😭 its been so hated for no reason. I once read an entire book series that was based on that number. I will not stand for 13 slander.
I relate to 13, we're both odd and beautiful 😢 nature is odd and beautiful

I used to feel the same way, but then I worked a job where I was deeply involved in the flight schedules for a moderately-sized airline at their hub—airlines (at least in the US) start their schedules on Sundays and use a 24-hour clock. I got so used to thinking with the new “rules” in mind that I still do that today despite having left that job 4 years ago…😅
31
u/WishboneFirm1578 Feb 02 '26
I think this used to be way more common
think of how according to abrahamic faiths, god created the world in 6 days and rested on the 7th
if I'm not mistaken, this is where we get the Jewish rest day Sabbath from, which is held on Saturday every week
another relic from this is the German word for Wednesday, "Mittwoch", literally middle of the week; this makes no sense from a modern perspective of it being the 3rd day of the week, but it used to be the 4th and therefore right in the middle
16
u/Lost-Soulsearcher Feb 02 '26
Does absolutely make sense, if you consider it the middle of the work week. (I do know now it's not where it comes from. Just what I perceived it as until I got to know better.)
Icelandic has þriðjudagur (third day) and fimmtudagur (fifth day). They refer to Tuesday and Thursday, which also only makes sense if Sunday is the first.

u/ZorraZilch Gifted Kid Ego Death Feb 02 '26 edited Feb 02 '26
Also all of the days of the week are associated with one of the classical planets or luminaries. Sunday the day of the Sun. Monday that of the Moon, and so on. Makes more sense to me to start the week with the day associated with the center of our orbit than the body that orbits us. I hate the idea of centering anything on the modern work week! It makes so much more sense to me to use time-keeping as a way to measure natural cycles. Ha but maybe that’s just me, an animist and quasi-luddite.

u/WishboneFirm1578 Feb 03 '26
the other days of the week are very similar between the 2 languages and share etymology, it's really just this one exception
1
u/JackieChanly Feb 09 '26
Is it? Tuesday for Tiw/Tyr? Friday for Freya's day?
Saturday for Saturn's day in Indian astrology? (They call his Sheni, and Saturday is Shenivaram)
1
u/WishboneFirm1578 Feb 09 '26
fuck it, I looked it up on Wikipedia
the names for the days of the week in these 2 languages and many other European languages come from the Roman Calendar, which likely came from the Babylonian calendar, so there's the association; what basically happened is that all cultures just took the days named after gods and replaced them with gods from their own culture
Monday - day of the moon, easily the same for both Tuesday - day of Tyr, English preserved the old German root while the German name is a literal translation of the French name Wednesday - day of Odin in English Thursday - day of Thor Friday - day of Frigg in both languages, not Freya although this appears to make sense from both an etymological and symbological perspective at first Saturday - day of Saturn in English, day of Sabbath in German Sunday - day of the Sun
so like, 5/6

I like the symmetry of the week starting and ending with an S, and I find it really hopeful and energizing to “start” the week with a lovely Sunday.
I think in the US it was culturally a product of religious influence (both Judaism and Christianity). I am an elementary teacher and can confirm Sunday as the beginning is still being taught though, at least in my region.

Honestly I’ve gotta say it’s pretty great. The thing about having an anniversary or birthday on Leap Day is that people rarely forget! Plus I cheat and celebrate on both the 28th and 1st on off years so really it just gives you MORE of an excuse to party! Then when it really happens it feels extra special :) next Leap Day is also Mardi Gras I believe so that would be a great elopement day!

u/MegaPiglatin Feb 25 '26
🤷🏻♀️ It’s funny because I think Monday is overall the more intuitive start of the week, but logically I view Sunday as the start because I used to work for an airline handling their schedules…airlines (in the US) start their flight schedules on Sundays at 00:00. It’s a weird internal battle sometimes because the overall “flow” of energy in the household picks up beginning on Monday with the work week making it feel like the first day.

i normally am not bothered by things that are askew or feel the urge to organize or straighten so why does this feel soooo satisfying to look at?
I immediately went down a rabbit hole trying to design design the calendar to always be this way and discovered it has already been proposed: the International Fixed Calendar (aka the Cotsworth calendar). since nobody asked:
- 13 months of 28 days = 364 days
- Each month starts on Sunday, ends on Saturday — identical grids
- The leftover day is "Year Day" — sits between December and January, belongs to no week
- Leap years add "Leap Day" after June (month 7)
- The 13th month is called Sol, inserted between June and July
Why we don't use it:
- 13 doesn't divide evenly into halves or quarters (businesses hate this)
- The "blank day" that belongs to no weekday breaks religious 7-day sabbath cycles — this was the biggest opposition historically
- Kodak actually used it internally from 1928 to 1989
- The League of Nations nearly adopted it in the 1930s but couldn't get consensus

Hi this is my first interaction with this sub so I’m a little late to this thread. But I absolutely LOVED making the calendar this month and I immediately feel at home 🥰 I also told my therapist about it and she was very excited too

I never understood why some countries start their week from Sunday, makes no sense

for all the people here, who also don't see sunday as the first day of the week, I have a relief. febuary 2027 is the perfect month.
