The number of days per week is a prime number... - eviltoast

… That’s why it’s so difficult to remember to do someting every 2nd or 3rd day.

Remembering to do something each day or every 7th day (e.g. every Friday) on the other hand is easy.

    There are now at least a dozen calendar reformists edging on posting a rant about this lol.

    Worth noting though that this has mostly stuck around because any attempt to switch to a more divisible week structure is met with resistance from Christians and Jews since going off 7s messes with their calendars.

    Of course you could use just two liminal days inserted outside of the standard month or week and basically have a calendar where holidays stop jumping dates.
