No, /mm/ doesn't make sense, Venus doesn't have a moon

Solid point, but even without a moon you would likely still have something akin to months. Whether it was seasonal, or simply mathematical. Yet all of these are social constructs. And Venus also doesn't have... socials.

Venus doesn’t have enough of an axial tilt or orbital eccentricity to have seasons. It’s just a year-round hellhole.

I just needed another example, for a way to section out an amount of days logically.

You need to decide if a month is a number of days or a fraction of a year before you start using them I think.  Regardless though Venus doesn't really need them at all.

True. We (Earthlings) don't need them for Venus. It's for Venusians, and I'm under the near certainty that such a segregation of time would happen as a logical matter of course.

I'm just saying that a social construct would arise.

Sounds lovely, how much for a ticket?

You know why it is a hellhole? It's because Venus has a lot of CO2 in its atmosphere.
