Hello and welcome to SciShow Tangent since the lightly competitive science knowledge showcase

I'm your host tank green a man who did not open the show flow before this begin so who

knows how it's going to go joining me as always this week is our science expert Sarah Eriley

hello it's gone great you did it's good so far and our resident every man Sam Schulte

who writes the show flows yeah and I'm all worried now yeah he knows what's going to happen

but this is the thing when you don't know what the future holds everything can go totally off

the rails and so we need is to number the days the days are numbered we're all dying you have a death

you have a death counter me too I love that we have sort of all mostly settled on a calendar

that we use that makes absolutely no sense there's like so many better ways to do it but we're stuck

with this way and it's it's easier to stick with the way that we have then to incur the costs

of changing to a better calendar yeah we argue about daylight saving time we don't argue about

December no but we should we should it's ridiculous to have a bunch of months that have 30 days a bunch

of months that have 31 days and one month that has 28 days sometimes did some monk do this to us

is how it happens there was a lot of people added up there was a period of time this is my favorite

calendar trivia there's a period of time when we when we only had 10 months you know like December

is currently the name makes sense yeah and yeah and that and that makes no sense that it would be

DEC and October is the 10th month not making any sense a bunch of nonsense occurred but back

before we introduced some of the early months that bumped all those ones later there was winter time

when it wasn't a month what it was just like it's winter we'll take a break oh don't worry about it

I would love to get back to you when it melts yeah yeah yeah we can't this there's nothing to do with

this time we don't need to know when to plant it's very cold are you telling me October used to be

the eighth month yeah that's why it's called October what the fuck I never thought of that yeah
