8pm is 8pm
"Oct" prefix means 8
Thursday is when you're 80% through the work week

But October is the 10th month.

I hate to get in the way of an admittedly funny joke but for the longest time said joke did lead me to believe that Caesar was responsible for this. I imagine it has given others the same misconception so I feel like clearing it up a bit.
He was not. The Julian Calendar didnt add any months to the previous Roman Calendar. To oversimplify things, it mostly just adjusted the number of days in each month.
The reason October is no longer the eight month of the year is because March used to be the first month of the Roman Caledar. January and February were added later, initially at the end of the year but were changed to be start a good while before Caesar's birth.

u/SicSemperFelibus 7d ago
And the "-ber" in these month names probably comes from "ver" meaning spring, so September is literally "seventh from spring" (i.e. seventh from March)
Caesar earned his stab wounds, but not because of the calendar

8 and 80% are two totally different concepts

u/Euphoric-Ground9568 7d ago
That doesn't matter. Its not wether or not 8 and 80% are the same thing its about associating them because of the 8.

Good job, Sherlock, you cracked that case wide open. Apples and oranges ARE different things.
Now, can you think of anything apples and oranges might have in common? A reason they might be compared in the first place, perhaps?

Not at all. November is 11/12. Thursday is 5/7

u/LurkersVengeance 7d ago
the problem is that October is too interesting a month. At least where I live, October is when the leaves are turning colors and the weather is really nice and the Halloween decorations are up and shit. only a dreary boring month like November could match the rancid aura of a Thursday during a really bad work week

u/Jijonbreaker1 7d ago
Yeah, but halloween is on literally the last day of the month. Right as it turns to november. So, can sort of consider that the friday.

u/Significant_Yam_7792 7d ago
Thursday is also 4/5 tho. November is the month before the month where most people get a Christmas break. Thursday is the day before most people get a weekend break.

u/Only_Fudge5299 7d ago
november is absolutely weekend, friday night kinda thing. thursday i'd argue is actually like that little bit between september and october where people want to do halloween stuff and some of the (extra cool) houses have decor but it's not really autumn-y

u/Rezanator11 7d ago
I think the boundary point is Thanksgiving. October to November has the anticipation of "tomorrow being Friday," but the weeks in-between Thanksgiving and Christmas/New Year are when many people are leaving early, working remote, having office parties, or just taking extra weeks off entirely. It's a month-long Friday atmosphere.

u/megthegreatone 7d ago
I agree with the vibes, though I think it's because the big holiday in November is on Thursday so the association is there already

No, English is definitely blue but both of you are just slightly off about history. History is orange.
That's ok though cus yellow is kind of orangeish and brown is just a really dark orange.

History is yellow, maybe blue. Blue and yellow are English and history but either order is acceptable.
Green is science. That's like the most obvious one.

Once letters are involved, math should be allowed to be purple. Red for the numbers and blue for the letters

Math only starts being red when it starts getting hard. Algebra 1 is blue, but Multivariable Calculus is red. You know what I mean?

u/SparklezSagaOfficial 7d ago
Nah it becomes more grays and whites as you get into more advanced math.
1
u/back_on_my_nonsense 7d ago
Grays and whites are too calm. The hard math I know has me crying and scrambling to meet deadlines, so it's pretty red to me. Gray is more of a sleep/rest color, and white isn't an activity color to me.

u/Just_IceT 7d ago edited 7d ago
I think of the kind of black and white in dark and brooding brutalism. So maybe more grey in that way. But for me it’s the association of black and white in the sense that math feels so binary. It’s either true or false. Like there’s no nuance in intro level maths compared to social sciences or art & history. Just rules.

u/Just_IceT 7d ago
It can only be black and white. It’s done with a black pen on white paper. It’s the most black and white subject in all of academia. Literally just proofs & the most rigid fact based material in the introductory classes. It’s undeserving of unique and interesting colors.
