I call some computer errors (and some other machine errors) “slanders” because I don’t think there are truly any errors. I think the computer is lying because it can do it, it just doesn’t want to operate properly. Machines may be smarter than ever, but people are still more powerful than machines.
 
Interesting Friday the 13th facts:

  • The first Friday the 13th after the 9/11 Attacks was also the first Friday the 13th after the attack’s first anniversary.
    • What’s even weirder is that the first Friday the 13th after 9/11 was also the last time September 13th landed on a Friday for 11 years.
    • In addition, when the first of March is a Friday, the two Friday the 13ths occur in the month of 9/11 and the month of Pearl Harbor.
    • Coincidentally, these two months are also the months of the Benghazi attack and the Sandy Hook Massacre. Exactly one year after both events, those two months had a Friday the 13th, and the first time in 11 years.
  • Since 2007, Daylight Savings Time was changed to begin in March and end in November in the United States. Since both months begin on the same day of the week, it’s no longer possible for Friday the 13th to occur in the month Daylight Savings begins in without occurring in the month Daylight Savings ends, and vice versa. That means, when Friday the 13th occurs in the month Daylight Savings begins, it also occurs in the month Daylight Savings ends.
  • The last time Daylight Savings time began in a month of Friday the 13th without ending in another month with Friday the 13th was April 2001. The next year Friday the 13th occurred in April was the first year Daylight Savings Time began in March and ended in November.
    • Coincidentally, this was also the first time Friday the 13th occurred in April in 11 years. Not only that, but this was also Good Friday.
  • The last time Daylight Savings time ended in a month of Friday the 13th without beginning in another month with Friday the 13th was October 2006. Amazingly enough, this was also the last time Daylight Savings time ended before it began in March and ended in November.
    • Coincidentally, this was also the last time Friday the 13th occurred in October in 11 years. Not only that, but it’s also the month of Halloween.
  • During a common year beginning on a Thursday, there are three Friday the 13ths. The first one occurs right before Valentine’s Day, the second one occurs four days before St Patrick’s Day (another unlucky number), and the third is exactly 13 days after Halloween and 13 days before Thanksgiving. These months are also the month with 28 days or the months with Daylight Savings time days.
    • During a leap year beginning on a Thursday, the two Friday the 13ths occur in the opposite months, the only time it can occur in opposite months without occurring in any other month. These months are also the months of the Winter Olympics and Summer Olympics.
  • During a leap year beginning on a Sunday, the there are three Friday the 13ths, all of them being 13 weeks apart. Amazingly, these months are also the first month of each quarter.
    • During a common year beginning on a Sunday, Friday the 13th lands in October, the month of Halloween.

these are not facts they are things you have thrown together to make your daily post about politics on an animal crossing forum

This is meant to be casual chat thread so lets keep it friendly and light-hearted from now on, both in content and tone, thank you!

Thanks! I generally use this thread to share some random thoughts like how I do on Facebook. I’ll stop the political posts like I should have done a long time ago.

About those Friday the 13th facts, four of them are natural because of how the calendar goes, but the rest have came true due to the timing of the events. I pretty much know all about the calendar (maybe not exactly everything, but at least the date arrangements). Because February has an extra date every four years, there is a 28-year cycle on when a date occurs on a specific day of the week.

Posts like these are better suited to the Place Your Random Thoughts thread than General Discussion. This thread is intended to be a place for people to have a conversation. :)

Since I have an aversion to posting on the Random Thoughts thread, I’ll probably stop with sharing my general thoughts. You may PM me if you want to know why I refuse to go to the Random Thoughts thread, but I’ll try to use this thread more for discussing topics rather than posting random stuff.

There is a lot of stuff related to politics to talk about this year, but I couldn’t really share them publicly anymore. The Blog Tree is finished, other members wouldn’t let me create new threads on politics, and I wouldn’t share these on my other social media accounts, including my Wordpress blogs. It’s pretty interesting that in 2016, there was an influx in political discussions, but in 2020 (which is even more intense), nobody wants to talk about it anymore.
 
There are cases of irony where some people make a decision for something better, only for them to be worse off. This has happened to me a couple of times, but I have two examples of it, both of them being my biggest regrets with the TBT Marketplace:

1. I tried selling a Star Glow wand for 12,000 TBT. Back then, there were more glow wands in circulation, but fewer TBT out of circulation. Therefore, nobody would spend 12,000 TBT. However, I was given a 10,000 TBT offer with a free apple. I turned it down because I wanted more Bells. By turning it down, I only got 8,000 TBT with no apple.

2. I chose to sell my apples for TBT Bells. I eventually lost patience and sold them for Nook Miles Tickets since they were high in demand. As soon as I sold them all, demand for NMT drastically dropped to the point they were essentially worthless. Basically speaking, I burned TBT Bells here.

Have this type of irony happened to you?
 
I’m currently painting a wooden box. I’m using fast food trash as place setting so I don’t get paint on the table, as I plan on using silver and gold paint on the inside and blue and green paint on the outside.
 
There's so many homeless kittens and cats in my neighbourhood including a pregnant momma cat so tonight me & my boyfriend have to set out traps and watch them. We don't wanna accidentally get a raccoon or skunk lmao. Momma cat & her kittens meow at my door sometimes and then run away when I try to bring them inside so I just leave food out for them. The shelter is gonna get them all spayed/neutered & adopted so hopefully this all goes smoothly.

Obviously the traps are humane so don't worry about that lol.
