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

This counts as peer review ^^

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] 8 points 3 hours ago (1 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.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 7 hours ago

This is incredible

[–] [email protected] 14 points 7 hours ago

Rocksolid argument.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 7 hours ago

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

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

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

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] 2 points 3 hours ago

Synesthesia is a fascinating affliction.

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 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.

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

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