I did not! Do not drag me into this entire mess.
Pfff nah, it’s because yesterday was Tuesday obviously
If you want to dive into that sort of thing i recomend looking into social constructivist theory, nuts to realise just how much of everything we live our lives by is really a product of people agreeing to do so rather than any struct objective measure.
Exactly, like crypto for example, it has no real world value (in fact it has negative real world value) and the only thing that makes it valuable is that enough people believe it has value.
Money and time are two big ones. They both mean so much to humans but we’re the only ones that have ascribed that value to them.
You could honestly say this about most of reality.
Imagine if Europe decided there was 6 week days and America decided there was 7
for some time soviet union decided they’ll have 5 day week and then 6 day week https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soviet_calendar#Five-day_weeks
Shortly after the revolution the French attempted a 10-day calendar.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/French_Republican_calendar#Ten_days_of_the_weekThe reason vast majority of cultures has 7 day week is that lunar month has 28 days, so that it can be neatly divided into four seven day weeks. It was important for timekeeping and because hunter-gatherers could forage more easily during full moon nights
My gamer brain read “frag” instead of “forage”. Now I imagine primitive Quake players bunnyhopping through the forest on full moon nights to hunt for food. Help.
i mean this is not a massive stretch. i heard an account of (ww2?) soldiers using mortar for fishing: one team would shell river, and another team would collect stunned/dead fish safe distance downstream. sometimes civilians got too close but they weren’t particularly concerned about it
… and they probably weren’t particularly tasty either
Man’s gotta eat
The only reason the sequence of symbols you wrote say what you wanted to say is because we all agree on what it says.
No, it’s goddamn Tuesday now.
Hmm… Thursday for me. Are we on the same planet?
Evidently not.
So how about we all agree it’s Saturday.
You have my sword.
And my bow
Agreed, but let’s wait till tomorrow
I disagree. Today is saturday.
It’s Wednesday my dudes.
The only reason you’re talking, is that we all agree what each word means.
I reject your reality and substitute my own
Can we do this tomorrow? I have stuff to do on Wednesday but I feel a bit ill so… Can we make this twosday?
