I agree with October and 8 pm but not Thursday. Thursday is too yellow to be October.

Is there a word for the thing before the penultimate? Because that would be it.

Thursday = 4/7 = 0.571

8pm = 20/24 = 0.833

October = 10/12 = 0.833

Saturday =6/7 = 0.857

Unless you only count work days, then Thurs = 4/5 = 0.8

I rest my case

The reason thursday is in the list is because of it containing the letter H. Check its position in the alphabet

[–] [email protected] 17 points 18 hours ago (2 children)

Thursday is 5/7 if you're one of those uncivilized people who start the week in Sunday.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 hours ago

Start it when it ends, turn it upside down, light the whole thing on fire. Pure anarchy.

I like to think of weekends like bookends, sandwiching the work week between freedom.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 16 hours ago (3 children)

To me the weekend is the end of the week. I don't start the week on its end, so by elimination the week starts on Monday.

End (noun)

  1. Either extremity of something that has length.
[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 hours ago

But it also finishes on a Friday, so 4/5, not 4/7.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 15 hours ago

I can respect this.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 19 hours ago

Rocksolid argument.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 19 hours ago

ok yes October being equivalent to Saturday makes much more sense. best day of the week = best month of the year

This counts as peer review ^^

Submitting to the Journal of Useful Bullshit.

Some fancy academic website will charge us $40 to read our own work and we won’t get paid.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 19 hours ago

This is incredible

[–] [email protected] 6 points 19 hours ago

You really can't explain it? This is the peak of what that noggin is capable of?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 19 hours ago

I know October kind of implies this but I'd add Halloween to this group.

[–] [email protected] 59 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

They're all almost the end of the thing but not the very end. Of course they're the same thing.

[–] [email protected] 50 points 20 hours ago (4 children)

They're also round, warm colored, and soft/smooth. I will not be taking follow up questions.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 hours ago

Really ? that's too funny... to me they're warm, a bit soft, balanced & fair, and very finely textured

[–] [email protected] 5 points 15 hours ago

Thursday is like this.

I literally cannot for the life of me explain why.

But خميس? The name of Thursday in my native Arabic?

Ah but Jeudi, the French name. Sun high in the sky. Very round.

I cannot even begin to explain.

Sounds like someone has synesthesia.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

Synesthesia is a fascinating affliction.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

I beg to differ. It's just a state of being.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 hours ago

I sincerely hesitated before posting that, unsure of the word "affliction." I've only ever known one person with it and they didn't seem to suffer from it. However, their view of the world absolutely was fascinating.

I intend no denigration of anyone with synesthesia. However, for anyone with it reading this, I'd love to learn more from you.

I see them as all darker colored, like a sunset but not quite night.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 19 hours ago

Weekends are always dark to me, I kind of hate it.

This broke me. The dot … over the i. That broke me. I’m … I’m done.

You'll be fine mate.
