Makes me cry like a baby every. single. time.

“I would have made this amount of money if you hadn’t interfered, maliciously. I lost profit because of you.” Nothing to do with morals.

But how does that statement contribute to anything?

I pay $100/month for internet access.

Which you’d also pay if you used Honey.

Lemmy may be free to access, but certainly not free to host. Am I paying for it personally? No, but someone is.

You also wouldn’t have paid to use Honey.

You also don’t see Lemmy paying hundreds of YouTubers and influencers for ad spots.

That one, that’s a valid argument.

“Over” my ass…

Me: in or out?

When somebody is 0 years old, they’re in their first year of their life as well.

Whose age exactly are we recording here though? We’re counting years since an event (it is now the 2025th year since the event), not somebody’s or something’s age (the event is 2024 years old).

I seriously do not see how not having a 0th year is comparable to a bug and how having a year 0 would be in any way “better”. It doesn’t matter, outside of the occasional confusion among people who really aren’t affected much by the exact number the current year has as long as everybody agrees.

So you’d want the year leading up to Jesus’ (supposed) birth to be 0. Okay. Why though? Never mind that it doesn’t make sense to start counting at 0 (calling the first instance of something the “0th” instance), I’m still puzzled over what the benefit would be. I’m not saying the world would end, I’m just not seeing why.

Russia switching to the Gregorian calendar was aligning itself with its neighbours, the world has changed significantly since then, having the “correct” date, i.e. the same as everybody else, has become A LOT more important.

Don’t know, tbh, I’ve seen it in Japan and kind of figured it might exist elsewhere too. Since OP provided no further context, I thought I’d mention it.

You know that would shift every year after 0 one down, yes? We’d be in 2024 now. That doesn’t seem easily implemented.

It does seem awfully like you’re implying a connection to the topic at hand.

Kids start at 0 because they’re not yet 1 year old. They’re only 1 year old after their first birthday and during the second year of their life. Jesus wasn’t 1 year old during year 1, it was just year number 1 after his (supposed) birth.

Edit: I just remembered: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/East_Asian_age_reckoning

What did I do to you…? I was just explaining what the reasoning for “there’s no year 0” is. I don’t agree or disagree with it. What would be a more sensible system exactly? One based on anything other than the birth of a mythological figure? Sure. Got any suggestions that are implementable without exorbitant effort?

Now you have.

Is this “crappy”? I’d assume it’s meant to indicate “next day”. In 24 hour time systems, you might see 25:00, 26:00 etc to do the same.

Yep. That’s because there can’t be a “0th year after that one geezer was born”. It’s -1 BC (the last year before) and then immediately 1 AD (the first year after).

(I know they did the calculations wrong and it should actually be somewhere around -6 to -4. That doesn’t change the fact that there is no year 0.)

How exactly is this information helpful to law enforcement in this case?

… I know. I’m saying that I was taken aback at what the headline, to me, seemed to imply and that, imho, different wording might have been better.

I wouldn’t. It’s just what the headline sounded like to me.

No. 2026 MIGHT be a good year, but only if we agree to let this poor cartoon die instead of forcing plastic surgery on it every year to change the number.
