Regarding The Calendar: What happened to weekends? I really want to know.

[06gforty]

There are only five days. Are they 24 hours long? presumably not...

[AFK]

Have you read the law of 5s yet? 

[Cramulus]

why not a 24 hour day? there's 365 of them


except on leap year

Weekends are a Con by the Man. Everyday should be a day free of the eight hour grind... weekends however, compartmentalize the week into Work/Not Work times for the majority of people. This is a False Duality.

This means that...Oh. Weeks don't exist. I get it. Thanks, People. And yes, I do know of the law of 5's. But cheers.

For a while (incidentally around when I first arrived here) I managed my work (self-unemployed, if you will) using that calendar, and set a couple of arbitrary no-work and no-paid-work days for myself... The rhythm of it was actually way more natural to me than the 7-day rhythm, but it turned out it was impractical to live on a separate calendar from the rest of the world (duhhh)

Living on both calendars works quite well. I can't do what you did, though, because I'm just a simple school child, y'know.

Basically, you take 1,2,3,4 or 5 days off from the discordian week, depending on how much you want to work.

It's not really that hard.

And what do you mean "weeks don't exist" ?

[AFK]

I think the problem is that he(?) is using the traditional calendar to try to understand the Discordian calendar.

That because the Discordian calendar doesn't have 7 day weeks there are no weeks.  When of course the more obvious answer is, well duh, the weeks are 5 days.  And that means there aren't 52 weeks, there are 73.  It's just different math, is all.

Thanks for clearing it up, again. So how there's still 24  hours in a day?
And yeah, I did use the gregorian.

23 hours, fifty-nine minutes and 55 seconds... plus an extra 5 seconds for the law of fives.

Because while the Discordian Calendar is neat, it wasn't so ground breaking that it altered the Earth's rotation on its axis.

And believe me, we tried.

[hooplala]

I'm still trying.  Give me time.
