Are you dating a spreadsheet?

Gotta remain positive and see the glass half full, or January 2nd depending on the cell format.

She's so perfect. Literally not a single flaw. She's a 1.

If your mind goes to "spreadsheet" instead of "calendar," that says more about your... proclivities... than it does his!

It's really more of a DataFrame I've mismanaged. Which might be why I'm struggling to handle my relationships.

Now that's quality showerthinking

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 week ago

This is what it's all about right here.

[–] [email protected] 82 points 1 week ago

First post here that kind of fucked me up for a moment.

[–] [email protected] 75 points 1 week ago

this hit me like a mental flashbang. your wisdom is beyond all of us

[–] [email protected] 71 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Yes, and if we're playing my connect 4 rules, you can also aim for a Monday - Tuesday - Wednesday - Thursday diagonal.

[–] [email protected] 52 points 1 week ago (4 children)

You can also go 3D. January 8, February 5, March 4, April 8 would be 4 in a stack.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 days ago (2 children)

That's only moving in the third dimension without moving in any other.

If you have movement in all 3 dimensions, you get January 1, February 6, March 13, April 25.

Thats diagonally and stacked.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 days ago

Diagonal for the win!

[–] [email protected] 27 points 1 week ago (1 children)

thank goodness i can see time in 3d now. this wont end badly.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Seeing time in 3D, mayhaps like a Time Cube?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Holy shit, what an opener, and then the second paragraph is the perfect punchline. I think the wiki editors knew exactly what they were doing.

If you see someone on Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday, that counts as only three days in a row, since Monday is on another row. If you see somebody on four consecutive Tuesdays, that would be four days in a column.

What if the Mondays span different months?

Like 8/19, 8/26, 9/2, 9/9?

Now the Mondays are on another page or they're a swipe to the right

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (3 children)

Maybe!

Bonus!! Love this concept:

Some context:

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 week ago (1 children)

The bonus is absolutely terrifying

If you can, hope you make today a great day 🌈

Looking at my life calendar every day for a few months really kicked my life into gear.

My advice is just open it up and look at it once per day. You don’t have to do anything else. Make sure it’s one where the current week is marked.

Are you perchance Bobby Tables?

[–] [email protected] 20 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I see where this question is leading, and I don't think I like the implications

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 week ago

... Where is it leading?

[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 week ago

Get your ducks in a column.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 week ago

No, it's boating related. Four days in a sail.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 week ago

I'm going to make the executive choice of saying that yes. Yes it does mean that.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 week ago

I absolutely love this.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 week ago

Like... deep, man.... cough

So whats first day of the year 4 years in a row?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago

In a three dimensional calendar that could work, 4 days deep ?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

There is no human entity, just human Cubics - as in 4 different people in a 4 corner stage metamorphic rotation.

4 corner quadrants compose Earth sphere, as 4corner room with 4corner dimensions, with 4corner perspectives and the 4seasons. Earth's 4corners rotate 4corners of TIME, creating 4simultaneous day Earth rotation, as if 4 different Worlds with their own day, for 4separate races with 4corner life stages, with outer limits of 4x4 great-grandparents.

(sorry, I couldn't resist!)

Evil Ass Educators Suppress Time Cube, and dumb ass students condone such evil. Cubeless institutions are spreaders of evil, and students lack mentality to challenge it.


I bestow upon myself the "Doctorate of Cubicism", for educators are ignorant of Nature's Harmonic Time Cube Principle and cannot bestow the prestigious honor of wisdom upon the wisest human ever.

I'd say so.

Although I still think it's weird that "consecutive" became a requirement.

Edit: Not implying blame for OP about the requirement. But colloquially it does mean consecutive, and I think that's a little strange. Probably a weird etymology rabbit hole to look at sometime.

If I see someone Monday, Tuesday, Friday, and Saturday all in the same week, is it still 4 days in a row?
