Have you guys ever thought about how, on the day after your first birthday, you're actually celebrating the second occurrence of that day in your lifetime?


This makes absolutely no sense but it at least has no logic behind it.

We're all less intelligent after reading that post.

I absolutley love that this is now on the 2nd page and its like a philosophical debate about zero being the absence of a number or if it has a value.

The very first recorded year:
Start//End year 1: 1/1/00…..12/31/00

Year 2 Start//End: 1/1/01…..12/31/01
Year 3 Start//End: 1/1/02 …..2/31/02
Yada, yada, yada
Year 10 Start/End: 1/1/09…..12/31/09

00-09 For the win.

Also, no matter how you measure the start of a decade (correct or incorrect), you can 100% say that auburn football has a losing record this decade.

To me logically it makes sense to start on the 0


The first year was year 1. So, the tenth year would be year 10. All decades start with xxx1 and end with xx10.

The fact that no one alive then thought of it as Year 1 does inject some ambiguity. Modern calendars would set that date centuries after they died.
