New Power Puff Girls!?

first lol

Honestly, the time conversation reminded me that just the other day I had a thought about how did they really find out about time zones? Like when its 4pm in one area, how did they find out it was 10pm somewhere else Like timezones are already a little confusing. These are serious shower thoughts. 🤔

The Julian Calendar (which is mostly the current one) started in 45 BCE. But it wasn't precise, it had slightly too many leap days. So it got "behind" a bit, Jan 1st came a bit later than it should if you were trying to hit the same point in the yearly orbit. So in 1582 Pope Gregory created the Gregorian calendar, which drops the leap day at the turn of the centuries (e.g., 1700, 1800, 1900) except it keeps them every 400 years (so 1600 had a leap year, as did 2000, but 2100 won't). But because there had been ~1600 years between them, they had to go ahead and jump forward 10 days to make it fit. Different countries adopted it at different times (mostly going Catholics first, it was the pope suggesting it after all, then Protestants, then the various Orthodox). Russia picked it up super late, so that the "October Revolution" only happened in October under the Julian calendar they were using, for most of the world it was actually November 7th. Similarly Shakespeare and Cervantes (the Don Quixote guy) died on the same day, 10 days apart. Specifically they died on 23rd April, but Shakespeare died on 23rd April under the Julian Calendar England was using, Cervantes died on 23rd April under the Gregorian calendar Spain was using. What's really neat is that the Julian Calendar replaced the insanely broken Roman Calendar, which had gotten so screwed up that in order to start the Julian calendar at the right time, the year 46 BCE had 445 days. So yeah. Earliest you can say that we've been counting time "the same" from is 1582, but for anyone using the Roman stuff we can reliably know what day they *meant* and convert, back to about 45BCE. Er, sorry. That got long. I am a giant nerd.

That sounds like a terrible premise for a PowerPuff Girls' show. First of all, "stole their childhood"? They still had time to play with their friends, be children, and have fun, they still had a childhood. Second of all...why turn PowerPuff Girls into The Umbrella Academy?...other than cash of course.

Drawn together?... it was meh... hardly

I had the same issue of having to scramble to stop Netflix from skipping the credits when I watched Carole and Tuesday, but that was just because I really liked both ending songs

What about "Total Drama Island" and all of its sequels? That was a an interesting take on "Survivor".

the time question is silly.. its obviously 2012 and the Mayans were right 🧐
