Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Where in history is the reference point of modern week day countdown? [SOLVED]
31·3 years agoYeah, thanks, that’s pretty much it! Except we cannot really make days of the week get locked to the days of our year because 365 is not divisible by 7, and we’re adding 1 day to February every 4th year on top of that.

1·3 years agoBut the 7 days comes from the amount of time it takes to go from one visible lunar phase to another
I’m not arguing with that, but my question is different: where in history is the exact reference point (day) of today’s weekday countdown? From when have people decided to stop adding or subtracting adjustment days and kept counting till today? The might have been some shifts along the way, but there should be a point exactly N x 7 days ago from which the 7-day countdown has not been interrupted. Or at least the earliest known day in history that everyone on Earth agreed upon as a reference point.

2·3 years agoHere is the problem, because actual lunar cycle is 29.5 days long, so if we simply count its phases with whole 7 days it will quickly run out of sync. Therefore Babylonians and other ancient folks added a couple of ‘out-of-week’ days every now an then to compensate the difference.

3·3 years agoWell, the question is not about the origin and sequence of weekday names, but about the first day in history of uninterrupted count of 7-day cycles which leads to today’s state of the week. Added this to the post.

11·3 years agoThe real FOSS alternative to Notion is called AppFlowy. And it already has a docker.

Looks bad enough. But what’s TPM role in this?
