[@Bigsistermeg]

“Does anyone actually have year bingo cards?!” Yes. For the past 6 years, my best friend and I have made bingo cards predicting each others’ lives for the upcoming year. We just wrapped up our 2024 ones and made our 2025 ones. It is a much beloved tradition between us and keeps us appraised on each others major and minor life events despite living on opposite ends of the country and living very busy lives. It’s also a very fun way to call each other out on quirks. For example, her free space for me last year was “home renovation project is more complicated than expected” because I’m currently renovating a century home with a very weird history.

[@Red_bxuaindgs]

[@1FrostySlime]

You can definitely tell about halfway through the bingo card Hank decided it would be way funnier if he didn't take it seriously but still got some of the guesses correct

[@sphinxman5578]

I feel like he listed out 5 things and had a moment of "oh i made myself sad" and started doing more fun but still 2020-era craziness because I've seen no slowdown of weird things happening. Like Matt Daemon involved with a food-related incident I think is more probable than the ska revival.

[@Shellewell]

You can see where it happened too, right where he went oddly specific about the world's largest pizza collapse injuring Matt Damon. Then a couple of genuine possibilities scattered in the second half such as more secret Leon Muss children.

[@hughcaldwell1034]

@@sphinxman5578 I was reading the pizza collapse one and was so ready for it to be Matt Parker. I also read them out of order because I'm blind, starting with "A weird pickle thing" and "Dyson sphere", so I had a different experience when I went back to the top and saw those.

Hank, if you're looking into getting into video games again, Outer Wilds is a game that is specifically made for you: It's a scifi-archeology game, in which you can freely explore an alien solar system to figure out a mystery; namely how to escape a 22 minute time loop. This means you can play it for 22 minutes (or less), get one run in, figure out something new, make connections, uncover what's happening, and have an incredible time while not devoting much time to it. Many people, including myself, describe it as the one game they'd like to play for the first time again, it's a masterpiece. And it's also partially about music and why we make it, the other thing you mentioned in this video!

There's probably a mod or something that limits your playtime as well. If you're playing single player or even with friends, there's no reason you can't stretch a game out into a month-long session

[@duncbot9000]

The juxtaposition of something so specific as "the largest pizza falling upon Matt Damon" and something so vague as "some pickle thing"

[@Hankler_fish]

Fun fact: PEOPLE USED TO HAVE MONTHLESS DAYS. The whole "October being the 10th month" thing is related to this too! And extra fun fact: It's got nothing to do with Julius Caesar! We currently use the Gregorian calendar, which replaced the Julian calendar, which itself replaced the "Roman calendar." But here's the thing: The most commonly spread fun fact about this is that "The Roman calendar had 10 months that lined up with the months' names, but then Julius Caesar came in and added months for himself and Augustus did too and messed everything up" but that is actually not true. There were two versions of the Roman calendar. The old version is so old that historians are not sure if it was even real, but it had 10 months, and a 60~ day-long period in winter without months. And then, Numa Pompilius (753-672 BCE), 2nd King of Rome (not Julius Caesar!!) revised the Roman calendar into a new version, that shortened all the months and added January and February to the beginning of the year, shifting the names of September-December to the wrong places. So what about Julius Caesar? Well, July was named after him by a vote in the Roman Senate in 44 BCE, but the month already existed and was called Quintilis. And for August, it was renamed after Roman Emperor Augustus in 8 BCE and got 2 days added to it when the Roman calendar was replaced by the Julian calendar. But it was also already there and called Sextilis. The Julian calendar added leap days to keep seasons aligned with the months, but it did not add July and August! Those were already there!! Sorry, I went down this rabbit hole one day and was shocked to find that a common fun fact is just wrong. Also I am not a roman historian, and all this info is from Wikipedia, but also also, I feel like that's even more shocking, because it's not like it was hard for me to find all this stuff! This fun fact persisted even though the real information is pretty easy to find

[@Silas_MN]

that's freaking *wild*

[@been.been2]

This is one of the best things I’ve ever learnt, thank you!!!

[@pleaseandthankyou708]

That is a rabbit hole I've looked at many times but never followed. Kind of a face palm that it would have been an easy win. I have fantasized about a world with twelve thirty day months with a five or six day (leap year) month-less non-week time at the end/beginning. I would also reorganize the structure of the week to consist of ten days ordered thus: three workdays followed by one day off followed by three workdays finishing with a three day weekend.

[@Hankler_fish]

@@been.been2 No problem! I saw a Julius Caesar calendar meme one day spreading that untrue "fun fact" and thought "Oh huh, I wonder what lead to them inserting months in the summer like that" and then I discovered that it was just false lol. But it also lead me to find this stuff about monthless days!

4:25 This is actually not true. As a descendent of farmers, I can confidently say that harvest season is not in summer! It is in fall. We would get time off in the summer because it was simply too hot, and the rich kids always left school to go on vacation. So with all the students gone in the summer, the schools would simply shut down. Then that became the standard (not sure exactly when,but I would assume around the early 20th century)

HELL NO!!!!

[@robertkeeley9836]

This is yet another reason why being a teacher is good. The school year lasts x number of days (180+/- epsilon depending on the state, etc) and on a leap year that number doesn't change so it is an extra DAY OFF. Everyone else gets an extra day of work but teachers get an extra day off. Big win.

Hank, you're doing so much for others every single day. You deserve to take the time to play video games and enjoy music. As you've scheduled your other things in your calendar you can schedule that YOU time as well. Please do what brings you joy, just because.

[@OrbitalBliss]

Hank, the best calendar replacement is as follows: - Weeks have 6 Days (people work 4 rest 2). - Months have 5 Weeks, so 30 Days. - 4 (sometimes 5) Days fall "between" some Months, and are the major holidays.

[@abhishuoza9992]

I like this because it preserves 12 months, which is important for dividing up a year in many ways (2,3,4,6). Each extra day can go at the end of every 3rd month, and leap year day is the extra extra day at the end of the year! Also way better work life balance!

[@yuvalne]

wait no, why would there be 4 days in between years? it's 5 days except for leap years

[@qwertyuiopaaaaaaa7]

Nah, I saw another comment suggest 10-day weeks, 3 weeks a month, and a 3-work, 1-off, 3-work, 3-off work week. That’s way more time off than your calendar and I think it is an appropriate amount of time off. So, your calendar is not the best. But still better than what we got now!

[@ps.2]

I'm not sure where ska is at, but the swing revival never really went away, just faded underground. If you're really into live swing music, the bands mainly play for dancers now, be it weekly gigs or special events. The music has also evolved away from 90s pop influence and toward a more authentic sound from the _original_ swing era. It may or may not be your thing, but it's still there if you look for it. If what you meant was the fashions and 40s cosplay of the swing revival, that part _did_ fade away, mostly. (: A few female dancers do still make some effort at special events, but very few of the men do.

[@WarttHog]

@ps.2 I personally just love the carefree fun that the music inspires! Also Electroswing.

[@milo_thatch_incarnate]

I'll second @ps.2 and say that swing never really went away! It tragically just became a niche hobby of a very small group of people. I was born in '99, grew up in this century, and I have loved going swing dancing since I was 16 (2016)! It IS out there.

[@GuybrushTThreepwood]

YES! 13 months, 28 days each, but go further! The extra day (days on a sleep year), also aren't part of a week! Every 1 day of every month is Monday, the last is Sunday. The normal extra day is just new years day. Not a day of a week, not a day of a month, and it's a holiday. First day of the year. Leap Year day is an extra day at the end of the year, same deal. Not a day of the month, not a day of the week, just an extra day. Also, get rid of time zones, everyone just used UTC. Yes I'm a programmer, why do you ask?

I'm not joking when I tell you that somehow, up until I was 8 years old, I thought that was a thing which already existed??

[@AdamYJ]

So, as I understand it, the year bingo card thing is a new thing and an alternative to resolutions. Rather than having one prolonged self-improvement project, you put smaller goals and events you want to happen on the card. So, instead of just having the large goal of "Hang out more with my friends", you could break it down to stuff like "Go visit John" or "Play games with [insert friend here]". At least, that's how one KZbinr I saw was doing it.

[@brookeworley5140]

My sister saw that version of the bingo card as well! I think both are valid though, could have a bingo card for "world events that could happen" and a bingo card for "things I would like to achieve this year"

Yes, as soon as Hank started talking about how good it would be to have monthless days, I thought that's exactly what the Baha'i calendar has! We have 19 months of 19 days each, which adds up to 361 days, so then we have 4 or 5 intercalary days to get to a full solar year, and everyone has a good time! 😄

[@ConfuciousDragon]

double checking some info about the public education system - The starting year for public school is really not as early as 1635, and is in fact closer to the early 1800's. Before that time, elementary school was the only thing being offered, and the class schedule and everything about it was vastly different from what we know today. The vast majority of the time that public schools have been around, agriculture was NOT the dominant industry in the US. The vast majority of time that Public School has been mandated in the US, industry was the primary motivating factor. We took summers off because it was cheaper not to have to cool the schools. It doesn't have to do with the harvest.

[@osmia]

Well that sounds logical to me

[@R.M.MacFru]

1:34 - I also love that idea, which is why it’s how my D&D world works 😁 “Erenium occurs immediately after Bast. It is a horological black hole, not considered to be a part of any month or half cycle. It does not officially have days either, instead being a single 96-hour long period with no subdivisions, though most people will separate the day/night cycles as "days" when coordinating events or recounting stories. In most jurisdictions, Erenium isn't even "time", with the period not counting towards any contract or law specifying a duration. Legally speaking, Halbast ends, Venresdel begins, and no time passed in between.”

[@dawica]

@@Red_bxuaindgshere’s the rest of the wiki entry, if you’re interested: In many cultures, the Erenium is seen as a time for new years celebration and is often met with festivals lasting the entire time. The rules for the length of Erenium are: - Erenium is 4 days. - Every 6 years, Erenium is shortened to 3 days. (Black Erenium) - Every 600 years, Erenium is kept at 4 days (White Erenium) This makes the average year 411.835 days long. This was believed to be the true length of a day at the time of the calendar's creation, but modern calculations have shown that the value to be approximately 411.8342 days. At that rate, the calendar will drift out of sync by roughly 1 minute and 26 seconds every year, gaining 1 day every millennium. Given that the calendar was adopted in 1560, it has already drifted three days out of sync, a number confirmed by historical records of astronomical events. Despite a 1-day correction in 3530, the calendar is still two days out of sync. *Black Erenium* To account for the fractional number of days in a year, every 6 years the Erenium is shortened to 3 days. This is known as a "Black Erenium" and is often met with indignation from those reluctant to lose a day of festivities. The previous Black Erenium occurred in 4628 and the next one will occur at the end of this year (4632). *White Erenium* Every 600 years, Erenium is left at 4 days. This is seen as a wonderful event. Despite Erenium only being kept at the usual length, White Ereniums have always been met with unusually grand spectacle, often bleeding over into the first week of Venresdel.

Damn, 2:46 hits hard. Always important to remember that as bleak as life looks right now, humans got here and under far worse circumstances. We can get through whatever hits this little rock.

0:39 I say we change the definition of a “day” so that we can get an extra hour of sleep every months. That’s just 2 minutes a day.

I'm rooting hard for that bottom-right bingo spot! Ska continues to course in my blood, strong as ever.

[@chriswalmsley660]

Also, we really need a ska/swing revival to bring us together again

[@V1N_574]

Hello Hank, you know what's a good way to spend time with friends? Gaming! So many types of gaming to encourage bonding, laughs, thinking, strategy, exploration, adventure, competition! Theres is a multiplayer game for everything!

[@Ford_prefect_42]

5:48 you're welcome!

[@TreeCutterDoug]

It's a pretty good bingo card...

[@Wrappedinhair]

"Worlds largest pizza collapsed, injuring Matt Damon" What does Hank know?

[@lauren_sunshine]

it’s at 4:48 now

[@Ford_prefect_42]

​@@lauren_sunshineOh my goodness it is! Did he edit the video?

[@egancurry]

@@Ford_prefect_42and here I was thinking you were making a joke out of “I have a very hard time teasing that out”

[@travisdabis9805]

Hi hank! My new years resolution is also to spend more time with friends. My best friend since 2nd grade was diagnosed with grade 3 brain cancer at the tail end of December and it has really jolted me awake to the fragility of life. I watched your videos of your cancer journey as you were going through it so I'm glad to have that in my pocket. Not sure what else to say but yeah, be with your friends and family and loved ones. Thanks

4:49 a Dyson sphere would be baller, but I feel like that is astronomically unlikely

[@crschoen123]

Dyson sphere is my hypothesis for dark matter

[@Cardz5000]

It’s turns out just to be a new vacuum cleaner.

From the Dyson company

[@wingtub]

maybe we could start one?

Good on you Hank! It can be so hard when we work for ourselves, and push to do all the things, but prioritizing people in your life is definitely essential. Loved the bingo card 😂😭

[@fat_vegan_slim]

13 MONTHS!!! I have been saying this for years! Who thought the current system was a good idea?!

[@iwontliveinfear]

Priests working under the instruction of Pope Gregory XIII, who created the perfect offset rules for leap years back in the early 1580s. The fact that they figured out way back then that "every 4 years, except years that are multiples of 100, unless it's a multiple of 400" was the perfect offset for the .242 of a day per year, will always amaze me.

[@fat_vegan_slim]

@iwontliveinfear Well, that's just one more thing to blame on the church! Although, the church figuring it all out isn't all that unsurprising, as they did have all the scholars. But thanks for the impromptu history lesson

[@TheDanishGuyReviews]

Lousy Smarch weather!

[@emmabobemma8]

Fun fact, this is my 5,000th liked video on youtube!!! I do not even know how long I have had this youtube account but it is probably more than a decade, definitely lots of crazy videos in there but the large portion that is Green brother content is probably my favorite :) thanks for doing you and letting us partake!!! 🎉

[@MechBlank]

tag yourself on hank’s 2025 bingo card, i’m “a weird pickle thing”

[@felbarashla]

I wouldn’t think that, but it is the one that I stopped to really think about compared to all the other options.

[@vigilantcosmicpenguin8721]

alas, i'm "I have a nervous breakdown"

[@alexmaction8474]

Hank, your bingo card is unique and insane and I love it

I love that two of my favorite KZbinrs are best friends. Brothers as well, but best friends too 💙

[@FoxDreams]

I love that your best friend is your brother. I wish I had had that :)

[@R.JoshField]

I feel that with the finding time. It's hard to choose how to spend what little time remains, if any, after work, chores, and other responsibilities. Video games are fun, but with so little free time it can feel like a waste. But sometimes I just say "no, tonight I'm just going to play some games" and get my fix.

[@Wrijvingsloos]

I see the Star Trek reference on your Bingo card Hank 07 🖖Love it

I admit that my favorite thing about Brexit when it happened was the chance that it would prove that throwaway line right 😅

3:50 oh... it was all a trickery... it was but a twisted ploy!!

[@NathanSpiwak]

Totally worth pausing the video and reading the bingo card! So funny and weird. Big fan.

[@VictorianWaistcoat]

I can't believe I'm twinning with Hank in having acid reflux

[@meteorrejector]

the video game section makes me feel so seen. it’s such an amazing medium and i know there are so many video games i would love but i just don’t have the free time to play them

[@melonlord1414]

In Germany there is a saying, that the dumbest farmers have the biggest potatoes... it's good that that wasn't a potato

[@lenaorsine2366]

I can recommend trying to meet friends and trying to enjoy video games again at the same time: One of my friends plays games with me online and it helps me see playing the game as something I‘m allowed to do, because it‘s something we do together. This way gaming suddenly pops up on my list of important things to do. We’re far apart and I usually have trouble keeping in contact with people, but today we hit our 100th hour in one our favorite games and I am so grateful for her.

[@sarahrabinowitz3337]

I was expecting superior fish beings on the bingo card

[@nathans5773]

I feel exactly as you do regarding video games, time, and my ability to regulate the time I spend enjoying them.

[@Fufflunsify]

6:10 Now that's a name I haven't heard in a long time!

[@meganhutchinson6435]

That's a great goal. Find ways to enjoy music with your friends or while you work. Taking time for YOURSELF is important... difficult... but important. And cultivating outside relationships is crucial for your mental health!!

[@SadieCarpenter-ft4he]

This hit different, loved every second of it!

"Dyson Sphere" being next to "A weird pickle thing" is giving me life

[@BetaMonk3y]

It makes me happy to know Hank is also a fellow Civ game lover. Also Dyson Sphere is a WILD take for 2025
