This is almost definitely a shit post from /x/ targeting the mandela effect or similar.
Could also just be a joke. Or both
All shit posts are jokes.
Shit posts are not jokes. Shit posts are serious business.
Implying jokes aren't serious business.... Puhlease
It's possible it's not a shitpost
It's possible it's a schizopost.
We have forgotten
They come from a parallel universe where the lunar month is about 4 days longer than ours.
No total solar eclipses for them. :(
What why? Their moon is still the same size and while orbiting their same size Earth it moves between that Earth and their same size sun to cast a shadow on that Earth. Wouldn't it?
The Moon is just barely big enough for total solar eclipses as is. If the lunar month was 4 days longer, the Moon would be (31.3/27.3)^(2/3)=9.54% farther away, and thus around 9.5% smaller. The maximum size ratio between the Moon and Sun is around 1.08 so it would never be large enough in the sky for a total eclipse.
Okay, makes sense, but isn't the distance between Earth and the moon uh... shri.... grow... changing over time? So at some point in the past or future (or maybe even currently?), the distance would have been / would be the correct one for total eclipses.
It is, but that's only significant over a period of millions of years.
So just like we happen to live in that precise time where total eclipses are possible, the Logday people may have lived or may one day live in a time where the moon is the right distance. No need to pity those fuckers.
If they evolved around the same time we did, they're unfortunately out of luck. But maybe life was a bit faster because of the 8 day weeks. :P
... well okay then. Hope you're happy, with your logic and knowing stuff about shit. ;)
we also live in the specific period of time where the sun hasnt fucking exploded yet.
