Serious-ish question: do people believe most of these stories actually happened? I feel like I'm in the twilight zone ever since they got popular on Twitter but maybe I'm being dense about what the joke is...

Most of them didn't happen

No way. 12 30-day months with 6-day weeks (4 work days) and a five-day feasting period. That will be my platform when I campaign for World Ruler.

Wait are you saying New Years Eve would be two days?
-
No I'm saying New Year's Eve would have to be an extra day outside of the weekly cycle, because 52 * 7 is 364 days and the solar year is 365

I think it's just that she regards month-as-length-of-time to be entirely different from month-as-division-of-time, which does make internal sense. Like, it's kind of weird that "three months" can easily be longer or shorter than "three months".

But for the purposes of anniversaries the latter is more useful because otherwise a "six month anniversary" is a full two weeks short of half a year
