A community for sharing those miniature epiphanies you have that highlight the oddities within the familiar.

Days are based of where the earth is facing during it's spin

Years are based on rotations around the sun

Seasons are based on which side of the earth is facing the sun or not

But months and weeks are just abstract concepts with nothing to compare it to

Isn't a month one orbit of the moon around earth?

It is. I'm gonna have to go Google what a week is now though.

Guess it's just based on the Bible. Huh.
