    @bostonmike68 MichaelBuckelew CJungus teutonik briantylercohen Yeah, they're totally made up. Time is all made up. The only thing tied to science is seconds. And we made that up too, everything else just had to be consistent. We added months. When we switched calendars from Julian, we skipped a whole week in the 1700s.

      @bostonmike68 MichaelBuckelew CJungus teutonik briantylercohen March 1 and March 30 used to be in different years. A country switched sides of the international date line. What I'm getting at is the logical fallacy here is the status quo bias.
