A Graph of the Year

[@NathanS__]

I like how Grey is this robot metal tech man all about becoming eternal tech immortals and yet he prefers to tell time like a 17th century farmer in the New England colony.

[@absie6287]

No no, they used calendars back then too! Farmers love calendars! You probably want pre-agricultural peoples of ~10,000BCE who prefer to tell time on plant vibes

[@LibertyMonk]

Calendars are useful for exactly one thing: organizing with others, like the "synchronize watches" scene in heist films. For literally any other purpose, the weather outside is more useful.

[@Philip-qq7ql]

​@@LibertyMonkand humans live with other people in a society, where you spend most of your time having to coordinate with other people, so a calendar is pretty useful.

[@Mr_NB628]

For the most technologically, inclined, non-emotional member of this podcast he sounds most like a Druid

[@SanderMakes]

Yo Techno Druid sounds like an awesome DND character. "I cast Cable Spaghetti to ensnare that troll!"

[@hucool323]

I honestly read that as Droid and didn’t get the joke

[@bjb7587]

Hey. Druids are people too! I think....

[@dlibby4979]

Its Greys wild side.

[@PreppyAnglican]

I mean, he plays Magic the Gathering, so that’s entirely possible.

What did you do to the first upload?

[@kittyshippercavegirl]

we have a very Autumnal Grey here today

[@TheBlacktom]

One thing we have in common is that I also like the changing seasons. My favourite season? The next one!

[@NathanS__]

Ignore that this is talking about spring coming and not autumn.

[@Mr_NB628]

Techno Druid apparently

[@invin7215]

If only there were some sort of graph of the year. Oh well.

[@ShadowDogProduction]

The visual gags in this series are unparalleled.

[@kane2742]

I think our calendar should be adjusted by about three weeks so the Vernal Equinox (in the Northern Hemisphere - Autumnal Equinox south of the equator) falls on March 1. Then, the year should also be changed to start on March 1. That would make the calendar's quarters line up with the seasons (even more so if we make month lengths more standardized...), and month names would make more sense: October would be the 8th month again, for example. It would also reduce ambiguity: If a movie is coming out in "Winter 2024," that's currently ambiguous - is it coming at the beginning of the year, or the end? Lining up the calendar with the seasons eliminates that.

[@john_michael_white]

If we're changing the year they should run from mid-summer to mid-summer. That's how we measure academic years, and football seasons, and often TV shows. We're not in the year 2023 we're in 2023/24.

[@icarue993]

@@john_michael_white but not every country measures academic years like so. Japan starts in Spring (February ish) for example.

[@SeverinHawkland7855]

​@@icarue993something I think is better than what most other countries do (like my own). It just makes more sense, spring seems more like the start of the year.

[@Sam_on_YouTube]

That is a bit north-centric. However, most of the world's population (90%) is North of the equator, so I don't really have a problem with that. Even half of Africa and a good chunk of South America are north of the equator.

[@icarue993]

@@SeverinHawkland7855 I wouldnt say better. Just as the start of a new day is 12 am, it makes sense that the darkest day (or close enough) is the start of the year. If you REALLY want to, we can make December 21st ish the start of the new year.

This is my favourite cortex animated yet, i was cracking up at Gregorian tapestry Myke and whimsical Grey

[@JacobBowlin]

Graph of the year AGAIN CALENDERS is by far the best quote ever

[@onefinegent]

grey was traumatized by Hawaii so much that he internalized a love for the seasons, amazing

[@swiftydialogues]

Is this…emotion?!? From GREY?!?!

[@vidulakopli]

1:00 I also completely forget what month it is (and what day) all the time. I always thought it was weird that people memorize stuff like what their schedule is and the code-names for classes they’re taking and room numbers like they’re literal robots. It’s also so funny to see your robot animation soliloquize about passing seasons 😂

[@maura462]

Yes, you picked the best clip!! the mermaid was so good

[@ryanfeller5765]

I find I agree with grey because my brain likes things with big picture structure but flexible details. The seasons don’t change overnight but as the summer gets hotter and hotter you know time is passing and will continue to pass.

[@Sponsie1000]

I feel like if this discussion happened back on HelloInternet, we could see the same discussion only with the roles reversed haha,, funny to see how non-digital Grey is about this particular matter

[@primetime3422]

0:48 I can, and frequently do forget what month we are in. Man I do the same thing with what day it us

[@Sugar3Glider]

A 24x36" calendar showing 3 months at a time might go pretty hard.

[@cushmanproductions]

As someone who hates our current calendar system (and who has to live in it thanks to having a corporate job), I am quite envious of Grey's relationship with time.

[@orbitforcreators]

Absolute Perfection 👏👏👏

[@clairdeloona]

i think of the year as a wheel... or at least, that's how i feel time pass. fall takes forever, winter is like a lag time where you gain momentum, and spring is super fast, followed by a dip in momentum for summer

[@Thk10188965]

[@saarl99]

They also added the sound of the window breaking at 00:10. Maybe they uploaded a work-in-progress version by accident.

[@crstudios4457]

I can relate, as a shift worker, whom also works "Weekends...." I often know what day of the week it is, I'll forget what day of the month it is, and I can lose track of when a week has ended, and another has begun, due to my working week being varied

[@Gotmilk0112]

This except I’m unemployed. Every day feels the same.

[@felixwilfing2472]

ohh winter is coming

[@steelarm7]

Oh my goodness I love this so much

[@mitwhitgaming7722]

As someone who lives in Texas, we don't get Spring or Fall, just months that oscillate between Summer and Winter.

[@Spygirl812]

The only way to notice spring are the more thunder storms than usual. The only way to notice fall is because you are not burning alive.

[@bjb7587]

Sounds like a personal problem.

[@slothfulcobra]

sure would be nice to have regular seasons instead of just erratic weather bouncing between hot and cold until it settles on burning hot for 5 months

[@LoveDoctorNL]

How do you look like SpiritScience now?

[@slothbelly5332]

it would work for person who live in the area where seasonal changes are apparent and distinguishable.

[@evanbarnes9984]

I also frequently lose any sense of what month it is, as well as where we are in the month. I agree that seasons are much more important! We spent most of human history living and dying by the seasons. They're in our bones

[@Juttutin]

I am lucky enough that, for the meantime, I normally don't even know what day of the week it is. Seriously. Like it's midweekish right now i think. The down side is a bit of a structure deficit. I'd love to build some around lunar weeks, since the phase of the moon does impact my evenings somewhat. I thought there would be some pagan calendar app or some such, but yet to find anything decent. (I just checked, it's Thursday)

[@TheBlacktom]

It's Wednesday here.
