who came up with january anyway? absolutely awful, useless month, 0/10

@eniko

Romans had the year start with March and end with December – January and February were one undefined blob that existed just to pad out the year

@cerement romans had the right idea

@eniko Its my birth month!

@chrisamoody my sympathies

@eniko and why 31 days? They at least cut February to 28 (29) !

@eniko hey I was born in janua[disappears in a puff of snow]

@YKantRachelRead rip 🙏😔

@eniko What about February? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sjco86ekIlQ

@tymwol it is a bad month, but at least its not january

@eniko The monday of months

@Rianq wow that sounds like something i might say!

@eniko @catsalad I believe Julius Caesar https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Julian_calendar

@eniko @catsalad ah no, looks like January is older :/

@malwareminigun @eniko Ah yis, salad man. 🔪⁠🥗

@eniko actually it's 1/12

@eniko I'd give it 1/12 at least

@eniko 0/12 you mean

@larsmb @eniko Achually, that'd be 0/11

@YinYinFalcon @eniko but only on the last day.

@psilocervine @eniko it's 1/14 if you're in the US

@eniko Apparently it was Sosigenes of Alexandria on behalf of Julius Caesar: https://www.google.com/books/edition/Astronomy_Through_the_Ages/Ys-CDwAAQBAJ?hl=en&gbpv=1&dq=sosigenes%20of%20alexandria%20calendar&pg=PA14&printsec=frontcover&bsq=sosigenes%20of%20alexandria%20calendar

@YinYinFalcon @eniko
-1/10

@eniko January is nice in Florida! And my birthday happens too!

@eniko When in doubt, blame the romans.
