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

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.

But you'll get so much exposure!

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

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

[–] [email protected] 19 points 2 months 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.

I can respect this.

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

End (noun)

  1. Either extremity of something that has length.
[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

"THE" weekend, singular.

End (noun) 3. "The point in time when an action, event, or phenomenon ceases or is completed; the conclusion."

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

This is incredible

[–] Quexotic 18 points 2 months ago

Rocksolid argument.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 2 months ago

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

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago

Don't some cultures start their calendar week on Saturday? If so then Thursday is 6/7 for that specific use case.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

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