I get paid every other week, but my rent is due every month.

I’m fine with this. Also let’s start the new year in spring and everyone takes the winter months off to hibernate

Waaaay too late to implement into society now

Would need a leap day every year, and an extra leap day every four years.

This requires New Year’s Day not being a day of the week and Mid-summer’s day replaces Leap Days, also not a day of the week.

28 x 13 = 364

13×28+1=365. So every year we need one leap day, and two leaps inevery 4 years. But this still makes a lot sense. We still could not align calender permanenty wit cycle of moon.

There have been arguments for this kind of calendar for centuries. Without some sort of World Government it’ll probably never happen. There is just way too much … everything… invested in the current system.
It’s like one of the reasons the US keeps shooting down switching to Metric is that no one wants to pay to replace the what? Millions? Of speed limit signs across the country.

We would misalign with the solar cycle (and the seasons) then.
_Hello_Hi_Hey_ on
The year is based on the Earth’s orbit around the Sun (~365.25 days), not the moon’s cycles. 12 months aligns better with the seasons, whereas a 13-month, 28-day system totals only 364 days, requiring an extra “blank” day to keep up with the solar year.
Twelve is divisible by 2, 3, 4, and 6, making it convenient for dividing the year into quarters, halves, and quarters for financial or business purposes.

What would we call the new month?? Can it be between june and july?

One extra monthly bill per year.
ICLazeru on
Almost, that would be 364 days a year, while we have about 365.25 days a year.
We could compensate without wrecking the calendar by having a leap week every 6 years, and by skipping it once every 84 years.
Time is like that though.
Flat-Fudge-2758 on
It’s only 364 days
Ruth-Stewart on
I’m 100% in favor of this. And there would just be one leap day at the end of the year. Just have it not be any day of the week. It’s just its own thing.

Then you would always have birthday on the same weekday, which would suck.

We also have 13 full moons per year.

Easier to divide with 12.months. Our year has quarters, even though they are not exactly the same. It also has thirds. And the ability to have half a year and know exactly what that means is invaluable.
Nah fuck that. Im not going to risk being the fucking dude who’s birthday is forever on a monday.

Okay but only if you’re okay with drifting seasons…. One year winter is in feb, the next year it’s July, so on and so forth…

This cancels out the equinoxes and solstices all being the 21st.
I’m against it.

I would only sign on to this if the new month was called Smarch. It would give me a legit reason to reference a thirty year old Simpsons episode by saying, “Brrr! Oh, lousy Smarch weather.” It would also allow for scheduling a meeting at the 13th hour of the 13th day, of the 13th month to discuss calendars.

I remember back when we had 10. We called the 8th month October, like octopus and octagon. The tenth month was December, like decimal and decade. Then Julius and Augustus decided they wanted months for themselves in the Summer and fucked everything up.
Muskyguts on
This means that your birthday falls on the same day of the week every year, and if you’re Monday baby, sucks for you
No_Vegetable7280 on
There are 13 full moons and also women typically have 13 periods in a year also
Shawnaldo7575 on
Doesn’t quite work… 13 months x 28 days/month = 364 days. A year is 365
You would need 1 extra day every year, 2 extra days every leap year.
The extra day(s) would have to be independent days from the rest of the year to maintain the 1st of the month staying on mondays… other wise everything would offset by one day every year (by two on leap years) like it does now.

Let’s name the new month Jesse and put it after July.

Blame Augustus for that
No birthdays. Problem solved
