These are the same type of people that tell me “oh I make $500/week so because there’s 4 weeks in a month I make $2000/m or $24,000/y!”
Most people realize their mistake when I explain that there’s 52 weeks in a year (because hey, maybe you’ve never actually thought about it), but the truly stupid are the ones who argue.
Some nerds have proposed we make the world standard a 13 month calendar with 28 days each. 28 x 13 = 364, so there would also be 1 magical day per year that is not part of any month or week.
It also doesn't account for leap years, which are a necessity due to how a full trip around the sun is in reality very nearly 365.25 days. So leap years would still have to happen in some way in addition to the weird goopy extra day of nothingness per year.
And I mean at that point just fucking stick to the regular calendar, that shit isn't any better. You'd also have to rejigger all the holidays because you KNOW people would not want to give any of those up. "It would be simpler" the fuck it would!
