minus-squarebloup@lemmy.sdf.orglinkfedilinkarrow-up16·1 year agoI like 10 months each with 6 weeks of 6 days each for a total of 360 days and a 5 day holiday at the end of every year (6 days during a leap year) But Jesse really has opened my eyes to the possibility of a lunisolar calendar.
minus-squareFardyCakes@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up6·1 year ago10 months used to be the standard, until some Caesers ended up getting a couple of months named after them. September (7th month) October (8th month) November (9th month) December (10th month) Those months would also be named appropriately again if we dropped July and August…. But then I’d lose my birthday.
