Akt0, w Question about lunar calendars

But we don’t have a ‘Year 0’, it goes 1BCE to 1 CE.

Lunations are only ~29.5 days long, between specific moon phases. They still count one year as 12 lunations, ~354 days. Right now is Rajab on the Islamic Calendar, but that’s still the month, not the moon. According to the Farmers Almanac, January is the Wolf Moon, taking from both Native American and European Colonial traditions.

Yes, there are multiple counts. Rajab is the 7th month of the Islamic (Hijri) Calendar, AH 1447, while Tevet is the 4th month of the Hebrew Calendar, AM 5786.

Hopefully this helps, and I understood you correctly. If not, Wikipedia has charts of the current date according to multiple calendars when looking at specific calendars, like the Islamic Calendar, or you can look more at Lunar Calendars, and the differences between Solar, Lunisolar, and Lunar Calendars.

edit: When I made this years ago a friend warned me that some folks would not recognize it as satire. I didn’t believe it possible for anyone to be that stupid.

Trump wants to protect us from those socialist pedophiles.

That aged well.

saltnotsugar,

Dumb.

14th_cylon,

no need to introduce yourself

saltnotsugar,

Dumb.

14th_cylon,

yes, you are. we know, you already said that.

14th_cylon,

joke and sarcasm is unfortunately lost on dumbasses who can’t read more than 4 words of headline 🤷‍♂️

PapaStevesy,

My friend that’s a yt video, what the fuck are you on about?

14th_cylon,

well that’s the right burn, now you got me. because everyone knows there are no words in youtube videos, especially in song texts. 🤦‍♂️

PapaStevesy,

Ah yes, please read this video to me, don’t forget the headline 🙃🫠🤣🤪💩

14th_cylon,

the fact you probably truly believe you are delivering some burn is the sad part here.

as per your request, let me read the video to you (if you have trouble reading, you can always listen to itm but it still requires turning on your brain):

columbus saw the ocean
he sailed far and wide
just to get a cup of spices
from the other side
he knew he would die for sure
if he should reach the edge
but that’s okay cause long before
he’d starve to death instead

the world is flat
the world is flat
the world is flat
the world is flat
the world is flat

earth’s an oblate spheroid
revolving around the sun
spinning on its axis
which is tilted just for fun
that explains the seasons there
and the changing length of day
but here’s an inconvinient truth
you can’t explain that way

the world is flat
the world is flat
the world is flat
the world is flat
the world is flat

trump won re-election
he won it by a mile
only to protect us
from the socialist pedophiles
but biden wants the mail and ballots
counted and at what cost
he is so out of touch
he can’t admit when he has lost

the world is flat
the world is flat
the world is flat
the world is flat
the world is flat

endless interventions
never-ending war
all to please the oligarchs
and economic horse
but lower taxes on the rich
and do it really quick
my ship is coming in soon
and i don’t want to pay for it

the world is flat
the world is flat
the world is flat
the world is flat
the world is flat

PapaStevesy,

That’s not a headline.

azimir,

Would you like some sulfur to go with your pseudoscience, fascism, and stupidity?

14th_cylon,

would you like to learn to read and understand words?

14th_cylon, (edited )

here we are, in the the astronomy community, that should attract rather smarter people, but most of you are as lazy as average flat-earher and did not bother to even click the link before following in steps of the first downvoter. if that person jumped off the cliff, i am afraid most of you would follow, because it is easier than to use your own brain.

i made myself sad on new year.

(for the extra lazy ones who don’t have time to listen to the lyrics of his social commentary, he put that blackboard there with kepler’s 3rd law to give you hint he might not actually believe the earth is flat. but that would require using at least 10 of your brain cells. good luck next time when you complain about stupidity of the “other side”.

14th_cylon,

and from the native speakers, i’d like an opinion - is he singing oblate spheroid at the beginning of 3rd paragraph? or is he singing old blade, which is what i hear, and is it some strange poetic phrase?

tate,
@tate@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

It is “oblate spheroid.”

14th_cylon,

thank you

tate,
@tate@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

Thank you more! I can hardly believe you went all that trouble to transcribe my stupid song.

14th_cylon,

i liked the song 🤷‍♂️

Soupbreaker,

Just in the interest of cheering you up a bit, I’d like to point out that many people simply refuse to click on YouTube links. Personally, I have no desire to engage with video content, especially when it’s shared with little to no context. It’s not out of laziness, but more out of a conviction that far too many people have outsourced their thinking to random vloggers, and believe that posting a link to their favorite video essay lends credibility to their argument.

14th_cylon,

believe that posting a link to their favorite video essay lends credibility to their argument.

unfortunately that is definitely a trend. but then you also have the person who grabs one rhyme out of context and comments it aged like a milk, meaning they did open the video, listened to it and absolutely did not understood.

i am also not going to watch every 60 minutes long video someone posts me in a discussion, but if i am invested in the discussion so much i care about answering or voting on something, i at least try to understand the concept of the video and what it is trying to say.

the headline in this case did not help, but i rarely see such an example of crowd behaviour concentrated in such short time as was the case with this link.

very_well_lost,

People aren’t lazy, we just all live in a social media landscape where, when someone posts a link with an intentionally provocative title, it’s rarely worth the effort to engage with it enough to find out if they’re being sarcastic or sincere.

Sometimes this means that well-meaning people get downvoted. Oh well. Learn to read the room.

SpiceDealer,

I’m pretty sure the inclusion of any equation should’ve been a dead giveaway.

neidu3,

Satire only works if it’s outlandish enough not to reflect a widely held belief, even if it’s a stupid one.

tate,
@tate@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

I don’t think the flat Earth idea is nearly as widely believed as it appears. I think most of the proponents are just trolls.

pimento64,

I get that it’s satire, but that was an instant downvote the millisecond an acoustic guitar became visible.

stivejoy373, w NASA completes Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope construction

I've always struggled with managing multiple deadlines, so I eventually turned to Native Assignment Help just to survive the workload. I didn t expect it to make such a huge difference, but it honestly did. Online Assignment Help helped me get my workload under control and, for the first time, actually understand what each assignment was asking for. Later, when my coursework started getting tougher, I needed support with Statistics Assignment Experts, especially explaining probabilities, hypothesis testing, regression analysis, and data interpretation in a way that actually made sense, and it honestly became a complete lifesaver. Instead of feeling overwhelmed by formulas, tables, and statistical methods, I finally had someone guiding me through everything in a way that actually helped me learn. What I liked most was how patient and clear the explanations were they never made me feel silly for asking basic questions. Little by little, the stress dropped, and I started submitting work that I felt proud of.

BreadOven, w Strange lemon-shaped exoplanet defies the rules of planet formation

Let’s throw it a lemon party!

Theoriginalthon, w Strange lemon-shaped exoplanet defies the rules of planet formation

…nasa.gov/…/nasas-webb-observes-exoplanet-whose-c…

This gives a bit more detail. Unfortunately it misses the evil lemon, which is what it should actually be called.

This is the kind of stuff we could only dream about ~20 years ago when I did astrophysics on hand only discovered ~30 exoplanets if I remember. I think the number is around 6000 now

SurfinBird, w Strange lemon-shaped exoplanet defies the rules of planet formation

The author goes on to editorialize that the space lemon may be evil.

Personnaly, I found it very funny to read this specific sentence. Thank you for reminding it to me!

stevejon, w Boeing's troubled capsule won't carry astronauts on next space station flight

Thanks for sharing this update — it’s disappointing to hear the Boeing capsule won’t be flying astronauts to the space station on the next mission. Safety has to come first, but delays like this remind us how challenging and complex human spaceflight really is. Just like when considering a Botox Treatment in Acton, careful planning and attention to detail are essential for safe and successful outcomes. It’ll be interesting to see how Boeing addresses the issues and what steps NASA takes to keep the program on track. For personal care enthusiasts, treatments like a Derma roller lip also highlight how precise technique can make a big difference in results, even in completely different fields.

Fair enough.

Hmmm, maybe. But I still think there are better solutions to that.
