Because 366 days would have been just silly.

[enchainement]

silly to whom?
we don't even know the world goes around the sun here.
maybe it's the other way around did anyone ask it?

[man_genius]

To me.

Hey, Ptolemy. The first century is calling.

Besides, we live in a tree, why does it matter if sphere revolves around the sun or vice versa. For all we know we're orbiting a giant potato.

[enchainement]

is it a baked potato?
not EVERY planet revolves around the sun, just most

[grab_my_bells]

Wings?

[enchainement]

had them metal mechanical could fly liked it

[grab_my_bells]

Ah. Like a bird?
You could ask Above. She might be able to help you fly again.

[enchainement]

above?

[spandexisyouth]

Perhaps it lines up with a majority of the worlds. After all, most of us are human, we think!

[enchainement]

each planet has it's own revolution
round the sun
each one
separate
singular
it's rare for two planets to have the same solar year
so who decided?

[spandexisyouth]

But if they are mostly earth then they mostly have 365 days.

I do not know who decided, though.

[enchainement]

they're not mostly earth

[azhdarchidae]

How did they pick that number in the first place? Maybe - well, there's the solstices I guess. But how do leap years happen?

And wings are great.

[enchainement]

the broken calendars from old earth
they fixed them more than once
Christmas in July isn't just a saying
I want them back

[azhdarchidae]

It isn't? I thought it was just because July and December are six months apart.

[enchainement]

they'd realized the math was wrong
christmas was in july
so the men in robes tried again
old story

And yet, people can be lost in the elevator for days or weeks and have it only feel like hours to them.

[enchainement]

they write
we see it
they write but the bubble changes
like someone putting pauses in the möbius strip

[pompous_today]

And we can never be sure of the reality of anything here.

[enchainement]

there is very little reality here
but there is very little reality anywhere
