2021 starts in less than 5 months. I think a lot of people are still so used to seeing 202x dates as "far future" that it's really easy right now to lose perspective that that future is already here.

- mmrezaie 6y agoOh come on, you jinxed it. Now, 2020 will never finish!
- 14 6y agoUnless it’s actually the year 2525, and we are all just trying to stay alive, but we are in a virtual reality meant to hide the truth from our eyes. Oh what a time to be alive
- airstrike 6y agoMy pet theory is we're part of a simulation to understand whether 2 days is the optimal weekend length for the future of mankind.
- kipchak 6y agoSo far is the evidence pointing towards more or less than two days?
- airstrike 6y agoWould be easier to ask the people living in the 3-day simulation, but I don't know how to reach them... I suppose it depends on whether everyone is gone for the weekend on the day they are supposed to spot the asteroid that would destroy life on Earth in 2431
- Red_Leaves_Flyy 6y agoMore like 6.
- ezrast 6y agoWhen I'm president of the world I'll keep the weekend at two days but shorten the work week from 5 to 4. This feels sort of like a 20% reduction in work but actually you'd only need ~7% more time-efficiency to make up the productivity gap. A lot of industries would recoup that for free just due to having a less exhausted work force. Sorry, Thursday.
- brianwawok 6y agoPlease dump Monday instead. The name has a stigma.
- obmelvin 6y agoI love that Zager and Evans song [0]!! Honestly don't understand why this reference is the only thing downvoted in a chain of off topic comments (not that I care). [0] In The Year 2525
- dylan604 6y agoIt also doesn't help that half of 2020 has been stuck indoors. We're all taking a skip year, but we just didn't know it.
