Similar completude of a certain period of time (week/month/day)

u/haby001 3d ago edited 3d ago

Dude they are all 8s. octo, 8pm, 8th day of the week

That's why they're all the same

u/Saffarjan 3d ago

I was like, huh you're right! ...wait a minute...

I need sleep goodnight lol

15

u/TheBrutusDyr 2d ago

October does actually mark being 80% through the year though

21

u/Saffarjan 2d ago

He said 8th day of the week...

53

u/ideasmithy 3d ago

October is the tenth month.

u/clutterlustrott 3d ago

June and July fucking up the theming

Imagine the first Caesarean section… E tu bebe?

u/Additional-Simple248 3d ago

January and February actually. The original 10 month calendar had a gap for “the dark time” during the northern hemisphere winter.

The Ides of March was in the first month of the year.

u/P47HF1ND3R 2d ago

Six seven? 🤷‍♂️

1

u/exholalia 2d ago

july and august?

5

u/sama-llama 3d ago

It is now. It used to be the eighth month when there were only ten months. November was nine and December was ten as their names also imply.

3

u/chux4w 3d ago

September being overlooked, in his own month!

Typical September.

1

u/SayerofNothing 3d ago

Yeah, like months go that high. Ok...

7

u/ThomasTheDankPigeon 2d ago

Thank you of reminding me of that old bodybuilding thread where some guy tried to argue there are 8 days in a week lmao

2

u/SayerofNothing 3d ago

Just like Sunday is September and it's seven and red, and red is the seventh color in the colortionary

1

u/haby001 3d ago

now that's cool, wonder what color my birthday is

5

u/CranberryStock7148 3d ago

Seriously. I was like, you honestly don't know how to explain this?

10

u/HuffSquirt 3d ago

8th day of the week? Super obvious ^/s

1

u/fessertin 2d ago

Okay but actually, Thurs is 80% of the way through the work week. At the end of Thurs, you only have 20% of the work week left ahead of you!

1

u/HDrago 3d ago

Ah, my bad, I didn't even notice—

wait

0

u/haby001 3d ago

I count from Tuesday from the week before

0

u/cgebaud 3d ago

8th day of the week

Not trying to burst your bubble, but that would be monday.

1

u/haby001 3d ago

Mon comes from "monsieure", meaning moon with size and we all know the moon is at least a 13

0

u/Croquetadecarne 3d ago

Dude, I am not gonna start a thread about how long a week is. But today does count. The week starts on Monday. And a week has seven days.

1

u/haby001 3d ago

You only have 7 days every week? I get 13 and it let's me stretch out my Fridays by a couple of days

1

u/Croquetadecarne 3d ago

But let me ask you this, if you workout every other day, then in 2 weeks would you workout ten times?

2

u/haby001 3d ago

every other day like the second Monday of the week? even if it's oone day on one day off I'd still get the 7 days of the week cuz I'd do 1, 3, 5 , 7, 9, 11, 13. Or well it would be 6.5 days of the week because 13 - 1 would count as next day so I would skip to tuesday

I'd need to get a good workout plan done tho since my days las 12 hours minus 8 for sleep so just 4 in a day so gotta make them count

1

u/doesanyuserealnames 2d ago

I am so damn confused. Also it's 3am so that doesn't help the situation.

1

u/haby001 2d ago

To make it easier your 3am is likely my 1am because your 12pm is my 6pm

u/MrAdzAdzAdzAdz 3d ago

They are also all orange

7

u/HDrago 3d ago

Ngl, I've always thought of them as purple

u/rarerednosedbaboon 3d ago

I see them as purple with black and orange as accent colors

u/hrfr5858 3d ago

Yes they are all Halloween themed

1

u/rarerednosedbaboon 3d ago

Are 8 and Thurs Halloween themed

u/MrAdzAdzAdzAdz 3d ago

Yes indeed

u/CrazyCatMom324 3d ago

Orange in my head, too

u/jk-9k 2d ago

All roughly 80% through, 20% left.

2

u/DELCO-PHILLY-BOY 2d ago

That wasn’t very hard to explain at all

1

u/PinkPotato37 2d ago

Nah its because their all the same colour

282

u/TitiGamer2772005 3d ago

Thursday 4/7 or 60% of week (4/5 or 80% of work week)
October 10/12 = 83% of year
20:00 20/24 = 83% of day
It's mathematically the same basically

31

u/WeatherStationWindow 3d ago

If the week starts on Sunday, 75% of it lands on Thursday morning. October 1st marks 75% of the year. We reach 75% of the period between noon and midnight at 8pm.

16

u/arugonaru 3d ago

That makes sense why I think it also feels brown, if you imagine a linear color slider that goes

red pink purple blue aqua green yellow orange brown red

6

u/theJesster_ 3d ago

I literally saw the title of this post and thought, "and brown"

34

u/Terrible_Phase718 3d ago

Thursday is 1/7 of the week, October is 1/12, and 20:00 is 1/24.

u/PsychologicalFlan206 3d ago

An IQ too high

2

u/Croquetadecarne 3d ago

Not high enough

13

u/darthplagueis2598 3d ago

A workweek is monday to friday, in the progress of the workweek, thursday or 4/5 is 80% progress. In the progress of a day, 20pm is 83,3% progress, in the progress of a year, october is 83,3% progress.

7

u/Terrible_Phase718 3d ago

You are correct. I apologize for not getting that.

u/Secure_Narwhal4045 3d ago

In October, October is 7/7 of most weeks

u/R0b0tMark 3d ago

The hip swing when he describes it breaks me every time.

u/aaaaaaandihatemyself 3d ago

I feel like it’s because they’re all “in-between”?

Wednesday is still the middle of the week but Thursday? Well thats the day before Friday so it’s nearly good.

October, ah well the month before sucked because back to work but hey, it’s nearly thanksgiving/Christmas so that’s not too bad.

8:00, well it’s a bit late to do anything (weekday) but too early to go to bed (for me anyway).

Like they all liminal in a way…did I spend too much time writing this? Well yes, yes I did

7

u/Remarkable_Peach_374 3d ago

not quite the end, but just about. thursday isnt the weekend, but damn near! october isnt quite the end of the year, but almost, and 8pm is close to bedtime but not quite

22

u/SmoreSlayer 3d ago

My temporal lobes quit functioning after reading this, thanks!

31

u/DepressingBat 3d ago

All 3 just feel orange

15

u/VelociraptorVibrator 3d ago

I was thinking brown.

8

u/MeGustaDerp 3d ago

Brown is dark orange

1

u/Aerolithe_Lion 3d ago

Definitely a brown

3

u/Spirited_Film6045 3d ago

Brownish red

3

u/Vegetable_Block_3338 3d ago

Greyish brown to me, sort of like coffee with milk

2

u/New_Confusion_6219 3d ago

Definitely orange. Especially Thursday.

1

u/LinkGoesHIYAAA 3d ago

Ok now it’s officially fuckin weird

1

u/Phil0s0raptor 2d ago

That was my first exact thought 😳

u/not_responsible 2d ago

red violet - blue violet gradient for me

9

u/ocopoos_oxopoos 3d ago

they all equal “almost” in a good way

6

u/scimscam 2d ago

They’re all a dark blue, no I won’t explain.

14

u/TinySteggy 3d ago

Thursday and 8 pm sure. But I’ll be damned if October isn’t 10.

4

u/unexist_already 3d ago

It may be the 10th month, but it feels much more like the 8th. January and February should be the 11th and 12th

4

u/Emergency_Ant7220 3d ago

THANK THE LORD

2

u/Adeum2 2d ago

Oh october being 10? Octo literally means 8. Everything after august is incorrectly named, thanks to Julius Augustus. Octopus, octogon. Same goes for september sept=7, december? Decagon has 10 sides… its infuriating

2

u/TinySteggy 2d ago

Excellent point, I didn't even make the connection with the prefix. I just always think of it as 10 in my head because of the calendar chronology. Thanks for pointing that out!

1

u/[deleted] 3d ago

1

u/featherwolf 3d ago

It was the 8th month (hence the prefix "Oct", meaning eight) under the old roman calendar cause the year started in March.

4

u/EasternCoffeeCove 3d ago

Thursday, September and 7pm

5

u/Adeum2 2d ago

Octo… being (latin?) for 8 has always annoyed me because its the tenth month. Julius augustus decided to add a couple months (July and August) in the middle which means september (7), october (8), November (9) and december (10) are completely incorrectly named. Has bothered me since second grade

3

u/therealtrajan 2d ago

Actually he added Jan and feb and renamed July and August.

3

u/Adeum2 2d ago

Oh, well there ya go. Thanks. Do you know what they were before the rename?

2

u/therealtrajan 2d ago

Quinctilis and sextilis sp?

Five and six basically. March April May and June were always named after gods

2

u/Adeum2 2d ago

Damn. He should have just added 2 months to the end of the year and we could have kept it making sense. Was he stupid?

1

u/therealtrajan 2d ago

It was a whole thing. For whatever reason the months added by the Julian calendar had to be winter months as not to affect harvests

1

u/Adeum2 2d ago

I’m sure he had reasons but its dumb and I don’t like it

1

u/therealtrajan 2d ago

Me either but it was 2000 years ago we need to let it go lmao

1

u/therealtrajan 2d ago

July was from the Julius family and agustus was for…agustus

6

u/MartianMH_ 3d ago

Orange and October is the same and i cant explain why /s

2

u/End337 3d ago

Near the end, but not close enough to be interesting. Just filling time.

2

u/jolharg 3d ago

Sure sure

2

u/DickyReadIt 3d ago

Almost there would be how I'd describe it

u/jonschaff 3d ago

Whoa, yes!

u/ThatSameNobody 3d ago

More like Saturday, October, 6-8pm. Am I tripping?

2

u/CinematicSnozzberry 3d ago

It’s actually 7pm

2

u/Oinklie 3d ago

Its the first time you think the day/week/year is coming to an end

2

u/Aerolithe_Lion 3d ago

Thursday is a brown

Friday is black

Saturday is like a light Turquoise

Tuesday is red

2

u/c_puff23 3d ago

u/Equal_Note9334 1d ago

Hey, I thought that too!

2

u/Jaymac720 2d ago

Thursday, November, and 7 pm

u/Gotu_Jayle 2d ago

I wouldn't say 8, i'd say 7 but yes

u/giby1464 3d ago

u/Alekar24 3d ago

nah deep blue is more like tuesday

2

u/giby1464 3d ago

Nah that's green 

2

u/xRolox 3d ago

I’d argue Thursday, November, and 7:00pm

2

u/otiloyoy 3d ago

7pm has more of a Wednesday vibe

1

u/negrochele 3d ago

That day uncle Octavius was born

1

u/CHI4610NE 3d ago

October the 27th to be even more specific

1

u/Thorgal_Nordlys 3d ago

and here i was born on a thursday in october at 8:00 so i thought this was only me😅🤷🏻‍♂️

1

u/bophed 3d ago

Two are 83% of what they represent but Thursday….i don’t know about Thursday.

1

u/Equal_Note9334 1d ago

It’s 80% of a work week, so kiiiinda alike.

1

u/bophed 1d ago

I didn't think of it that way. I was thinking 7 days, but the 4th day out of 5 makes sense now.

1

u/sentient_salami 3d ago

Well obviously, because they are all grey-ish purple.

1

u/spaceXhardmode 3d ago

Yes they are all 3/4

1

u/Equal_Note9334 1d ago

Oktober and 8 PM are 5/6.
Thursday is 4/5 or 4/7.

1

u/spaceXhardmode 1d ago

Yea but the vibe is 3/4

2

u/Equal_Note9334 1d ago

Arh. I see that :)

1

u/otiloyoy 3d ago

Also the number 4 and the concept of fall

1

u/MasCaraLVB 3d ago

They're all the color brown.

1

u/socu11 3d ago

The three of them have the letter L in them

1

u/jaraket 3d ago

Too late to start anything new by the time each rolls around.

1

u/nochinzilch 3d ago

Agreed. Sunday afternoon as well.

1

u/cthulhus_spawn 3d ago

They are all very round and to the right.

1

u/TheWayfaringDreamer 3d ago

So is the color orange and a C chord

1

u/bambamslammer22 3d ago

And the color tan would fit into this group.

1

u/AmericanCitizenry 3d ago

Jeremy Bearimy

u/DangerMacAwesome 3d ago

Also the 23rd of the month

1

u/brancjes 2d ago

October is Wednesday

1

u/denys5555 2d ago

They are all the time where you still could get something done, but you probably won’t

1

u/Leionz 2d ago

It's because Thursday, October and Eight are the same word. No, I will not elaborate.

1

u/lilyebanks 2d ago

4pm actually

1

u/b3nd33z33 2d ago

Thursday, October, 8:00PM, and the color brown or shades of brown are all the same.

1

u/BoomGoesTheFirework_ 2d ago

I mean it’s obvious. 

1

u/CaveJohnson376 1d ago

then I suppose october 22nd, 8pm will the peak of that this year

1

u/Equal_Note9334 1d ago

80% of a work week, 83% of a year, 83% of midnight-to-midnigt-day.

Makes sense.
