Because 4 hour work days aren't tenable. Here's a novel concept
Why do we have 7 day weeks?
Why don't we have a 6 day week with a 2 day weekend? That way we get the benefit of 4 working days, we can standardized the calendar to not have this 31, 28 day nonsense (30 days only), and more importantly working day lengths stay the same. We just get to the weekend faster.
I propose the day to be deleted be Saturday because Saturn's mythology is a righteous c*nt.
Here's a calendar of what a 6 day week would look like https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/calendars/images/9/93/Calendar-new.png/revision/latest?cb=20140325015724 https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/calendars/images/9/93/Cale...
- dsfyu404ed 4y ago>Here's a novel concept Why do we have 7 day weeks? Same reason we have 6 based arithmetic for time and circles. Standardizing on something is more important than what you standardize on in many cases. I'm sure someone will stop by shortly to try and score a few cheap virtue points by claiming the French Republican Calendar was thriving before municipalities killed it at the behest of lobbyists for Big Nobility.
- drbeast 4y agoGet over yourself. We have 7 days because the ancients attached the 7 classical planets to the days. Not rocket science.
- dsfyu404ed 4y agoYes that's the origin of it but why stick with 7? 7 is a shitty prime number and makes slicing and dicing into fractions of weeks hard. It doesn't work perfectly with the lunar calendar either. The point is that there is inherent value in having an adopted standard.
- sidewndr46 4y agoThe French Revolutionary Calendar did attempt to move to 10 day weeks.
- drbeast 4y agoI'll have to look this one up. Thanks mate#
