• What is with weird words getting censored these days?

    So bots can scrape images like these and post on platforms like tiktok youtube and stuff without consequences.

    Ugh, I hate those narrator Minecraft videos.

    The bot censored an already-censored word. The consequences are intangible, like when people don't notice and panic about "AI"

    Wh*t do you mean?

    Hey! C*nsor the M-w*rd

    That’s a part of the homicide

    The worst part are the fucking laugh emojis, fr, laugh emoji should be banned

  • The calendar once had ten months, and sept is Latin for seven, eight is Oct, nine is Nov, Dec is ten. The calendar was modified to add two months, named after Julius Caesar and Caesar Augustus, July and August. The last four months were thrown out of their correct numerical sequence.  The kicker: Julius Caesar was famously stabbed to death.

    You can add to that, that February used to be the last month of the year (or rather, that March was the first). Because it being comically shorter than all the others… just doesn’t make sense otherwise.

    This is wrong. The added months were January and february by Numa, the second king of rome. July and august were existing months that were renamed, they weren't added, Quintilis(fifth) for July and Sextilis(sixth) for August. So the original months for Romulus were March April May June Quintilis Sextilis September October November December or some latin version of that

    I’m sure you’re right. I only remember what I was taught in 9th grade history. It was fifty years ago and probably not very accurate. I’m glad someone cares enough to set the record straight. Thank you. 

    Aren't months based on lunar cycles? So shouldn't there always have been 12 months per solar year, regardless of what they were named?

    Perhaps thats why they changed it. It took someone a while to get it mostly right, and we still gotta do leap years and leap centuries or whatever

    before the inclusion of January and february, they inserted an extra month to make the math work. But that's still means 11 months. I dont know honestly. If anybody knows, please comment

    Lunar cycle would be 28 days. if you do 28 days, you could have 13 even months with one extra day every year…

    No, it always had 12, it just started in March, not January.

    Romans started the year in Spring, we start just after the solstice. July & August always existed, they were just called "Quintilis" and "Sextilis" before being renamed.

    To those saying march was the first month…you are wrong. April was the first month. The change was the origination of April 1st becoming April fool’s day instead of New Year’s Day.

  • they really have to add the laughing emoji on the post, huh?

  • Can someone explain please?

    The Roman calendar, initially only having 10 months (ends with September, October, November, December) was reformed by Numa to add another 2 months, January and February. The 5th and 6th months were renamed from Quintilis and Sextilis to July and August (named after Julius Caesar and Caesar Augustus).

    Julius Caesar was stabbed to death.

    It is because of Caesar, but not for the reasons you said. Back in the legendary times the Roman Calendar was 10 months long (March, April, May, Quintilis, Sextilis, September, October, November, December) with the winter not being in the calendar instead being intercalary months decided by the Pontifex Maximus. It is said that Numa Pompilius reformed the calendar adding January and February to the end of the year (as the festival of Terminalia marked the end of the year on 23 Feb.) He also shortened every month which still meant that there were meant to be days added every year by the Pontifex. When Caesar reformed the calendar as Pontifex he had also been a general for multiple years that he had been Pontifex meaning there had been multiple years where he didn't add the intercalary days and previous Pontifices had extended or shortened the year for political purposes (extending or shortening the time a person had as Consul) that in order to re-align the year 46BC had to be 445 days long. In this reform he extended the months to the current lengths and most importantly for this discussion moved January and February to the beginning of the year and the leap day was put after Terminalia. It wasn't until after Caesar's death that Quintilis became July in 44BC and it wasn't until 8BC that Sextilis became August.

    TL;DR Caesar didn't mess up the placement of the months by adding two months but by moving two months from the end of the year to the beginning of the year, and he didn't name a month after himself it was named in honour of him.

    I see. Thanks for the information.

    This is almost right. The added months were January and february by Numa, the second king of rome. July and august were existing months that were renamed, they weren't added, Quintilis(fifth) for July and Sextilis(sixth) for August. So the original months for Romulus were March April May June Quintilis Sextilis September October November December or some latin version of that

    I'll go edit the comment with this info. Sorry for misinformation.

    no worries man. sorry if i came out agressive. not my intention. I had looked this up a couple of months ago and it stuck with me. very interesting stuff. Historia civilis made a great video on Caesar's contribution to the calendar "The Longest Year in Human History (46 B.C.E.)" highly recommended. What always confuses me is the day chosen as the beginning of the year, as that has changed depending on the place and time. I think I read somewhere England used to use March 1st for the start of the year during medieval times because of Easter. Not sure, could be just some misinformation of my own tho.

    The Roman calendar had 12 months, it just started in March, not January. July and August always existed, they were just called "Quintilis" and "Sextilis".

  • Et tu, Brute?

  • He wasn't though. January and February are considered to be the ones added later, allegedly by a king who lived ~650 years before Julius Caesar. That guy, King Numa, may or may not have existed (and if he did, he probably died of natural causes) but the story of how he was the one who added the months was around by Caesar's time.

  • History class just got a lot more interesting again

  • That laughing emoji

  • The joke would have been 10x fundieron without the emojis and censoreship

  • I found this pretty funny

  • Julius and Augustus ceasar.

  • I think they fucked up by not having 13 months with 28 days

  • I swear the more I think about the month names the more my brain just gives up, like who decided this mess and why did everyone just roll with it lol

  • This is a deep cut

  • Hey anyone see that crazy old guy warning cesar🤣 like our greatest emperor would have anything bad happen to him😂😂

  • original meme is pretty funny tho

  • The calendar really said “plot twist” and ran with it
