I know this was done as a joke but I think there is a lot of truth to this.
Everything would be the same date wise.
Councils charge you rent by the week and there are 13 x 4 week segments to the year.
If you were paid monthly on the same date that would make paying bills a lot easier, no more 5 week months.
Personally, I believe this should become reality.
It aligns with the moon cycles too. The laughing and the way they present this as comedy is creepy af.
Y'all need to look up the Gregorian calendar and why they did what they did
@thizmferiznotreal not really, the moon cycle is something like 29 days, 44 mins and2.9 seconds so it'd misalign straight away but ah well
A 13-month 364-day calendar is definitely more logical. I'm almost surprised this system was never adapted because the planetary elite are obsessed with numerology and prime numbers like 7 (days of the week), 13 (Friday the 13th), and 19 (a typical advertised dimension of the family idiot box in decades past)!

I wish we could implement this correct calendar.
There’s a website that sells the correct calendars 😉
@@daisyy42o where?
Oh yes, which website?
Any calendar that starts on Sunday instead of Monday is just as flawed as every dumb calendar that came before it. Weeks start on Mondays, there for the monthS MUST start on Mondays.
Orthodox follows this calendar. Wished we went back to it and removed April Fool's day to Jesus' bday. >.>;
This is actually very elegant and makes a lot of sense. It would be fantastic during leap year: 4 straight day off - the two weekends and the two intermissions!
For some of us.
Please let's adopt this calendar immediately. It would be weird for a couple of years but like an update for your phone you'd eventually get used to it and wonder how you used that old Callander with its chaotic structure for so long. This is absolutely brilliant.
There’s already a thirteenth sign, astrologers just ignored it because of the superstitions surrounding thirteen.
13 is claimed to be an unlucky number by a lot of people. In reality, no numbers are luxky or unlucky.
It’s claimed unlucky so the population want to stick to the fake 12 months system.
In number theory there is a such thing as lucky numbers.
13 is one of them.
13 must be unlucky for the evil ones

"Nail easter down" 🥵
Im totally on board with this!! 🤣 this works on so many levels
I did the math and, since I was born on a leap year, my birthday in the new month system would be the 1st of Sextilis.
What about the children that are born on "intermission"? How do they keep track of their birthdays?
It could be 0/0/year for the regular one, and 0/1/year for the leap year. That way they can have a numerical birthdate for official documents that align with everyone else's.
1/0/year
With calendars. The same way people born on Feb 29th do. AND ALSO the same way everyone else does.
What happens on the intermission stays in the intermission, probably they'll be suppressed 😅
It washes the dish and gets back in the basement or it gets the rod again
"In the new system we'll "nail" easter down." Wow! Lol he went there.
Best way to introduce a better system is with humor. I'm still waiting for the duodecimal Chappelle Special.
God gave us the map to the calender on one of the longest living creatures on earth. The turtle's back. It has 13 sections and there is other stuff I can't remember all of what I learned except sometime near 400 AD Rome changed the calender to suit themselves and shortly thereafter Rome fell apart...
Rome did not collapse until 476 A.D. Octavius Caeser died in 14 A.D. There is at least 450 years difference between these two events. That is a long time. The American empire will be lucky if it makes 250 years.
@@wesbaumguardner8829 450 years is pretty short in the grand scheme of things, and Rome hasn't come back since!
@@TrustingTroller Considering the average lifespan of an empire is only about 250 years, I would say you are incorrect in this matter.
That was so well done!
Still 13 months are in a year, 6 months have 3 extra days that's 3X6 =18 days plus another 5 months have extra two days that is 2X5 =10, 10+18= 28. The 13th month had its days divided into each of the months except February. Because February is the month before the first month. That is March.
If someone born on March 29......where would it be on a 13 month calendar?
this man should explain why the week should be 8 days long rather than 7
Brilliant - I worked out this exact solution 13 months x 4 weeks of 7 days, plus an Extra Day and leap year's Extra-Extra Day.
I prefer New Year to start after the winter solstice, (shortest day) usually the 21st December (22nd in leap year).
So the next day could be the extra day, maybe call that Day Zero, (in a leap year have a Day Zero plus a Bonus Day).
With the new year's 1st month starting the very next day - keep the order of month names as at present, to limit confusion.
Any extra days will cause a single digit jump backwards for the first start DATE (so day name), of the new moon or other 4-week cycles etc, every year, but that "monthly" start date/day then stays consistent every month just for that whole year.
If someone born on March 29......where would it be on a 13 month calendar?
people laugh but it makes total sense
In fact, during the time of the Romans, the year started on March 1st. This is also the reason why February is the shortest month (it was the last) and why October - December got their name.
You've sort of got the idea, our calendar is wrong and there should be 13 months that track the moon.
The moon and days don't align
Isn't easter on the full moon on or after the vernal equinox? This calendar won't nail it down, since lunar calendar will keep getting out of sync with this.
Just like ALL CURRENT CALENDARS! Also, who cares about some dumb makeup supernatural bullshit?
Thanks. Forgot how good Dave Gorman is. Gave up on tv years ago.will never fund bbc again.
Adam Wexlar advocates using March 22nd as New Years Day as it is the start of Spring
March 19, 20, or 21 every year
Surely it should be the 21 Dec. The new year should begin the day after the shortest day of the year (in much the same way as a new day begins at midnight - the darkest time of the day). That would also put the exact middle of the year on midsummers eve (the longest day) - equivalent to midday.
The equinoxes would then be the quarter points between the solstices.
@@eljay5009Logical
The Bible says they changed time and times.
Exactly!!! Who are these wicked ppl that steal, kill, and destroy? Hmmm...Yah is revealing them.
Having your birthday fall on say, a Tuesday, every year for the rest of your life would suuuuuck. I think the last month of the year should have 29 days so that every year birthdays and holidays do get variety on which dad is the week they fall.
Yeah ive actually thought about this too. Intermission would be hella hype
He didn't get to the obvious...the 28 day menstrual cycle. A 28 day month would cut down abortion rates through easier to remember cycles.
The down side...the entire world would eventually end up psyching at the same time and the suicide rate of men would be very high and always be on the last week of every month.
This is just as brilliant as funny!
Well Nailed 😂
There used to be 13 months. 13 constellations.
What day of the week really matters when celebrating your birthday. everyone born on Fridays and Saturdays would be able to celebrate easier on the actual day whereas everyone else would have to take a day off work and move their party to the weekend.
I’d like to know when taking off work on your birthday became a normal thing. Probably the 90’s.
Lmfao Gormanuary is gold

The Land of 13 Months of Sunshine
13 Months = ( 12 x 30 Days) + (1 x 5 Days/ 6 Days every 4 yrs)
Enoch ❤
I think for this reason God said don't bother with astrology.
This is a bit wrong. Romans didn't shift months around. The new year DID start on 1st of March. As it obviously should - we were back then and still are dependant on agriculture and all of the life cycle of a farmer starts from spring and ends in winter. But some J. C. happened to be born in the end of December, and we decided it was such an important occasion that the New Year day should have been moved to January.
So when does April first actually start? Is it spring equinox? Or something else
That sounds like a good choice!
Everyone is owed a extra month's wages!
We'd also have to pay an extra month of bills
Yearly salary / 13
Done
13th sign is ophiacus
Would the 13th month that got added go in between june & july
In the International Fixed Calendar, the 13th month (Sol, reference to Solstice, the sun) will be indeed between June and July.
Month 13 would be between December and January
@@tommybakes5972it’s called Sol and it’s in between June & July. 2
My old birthday: Oct 1
My new one: Dec 22
Sol is 13th month !!!!!! But well done its not bad job
If someone born on March 29......where would it be on a 13 month calendar?
I kinda dig it, but there's a downside to it. Imagine having your birthdays always on a monday
Hmm, moon has a 28 day cycle, so that calendar would give you the ability to look at the moon and know which day of the month it is. :)
Now what about the decimal clock?
1 day = 10 decidays (or Gorm-hours)
1 deciday = 10 centidays (or Gorm-minutes)
1 centiday = 10 millidays (or Gorm-seconds)
1 milliday = 10 Gorm-thirds
1 Gorm-third = 10 Gorm-fourths
1 Gorm-fourth = 10 microdays (or Gorm-fifths)
etc...
My Agikuyu culture have 6 months,IN KENYA, PLANTING SEASONS, BASICALLY ENOUGH,
This actually makes sense, and as all the crazy people have shown us in the last couple of years it doesn't take much to get movements going, only this would be a useful one.
We should do this.
I was wonedering when we got back to where we were.
My birthday will remain in the 5th Month from 13th May to 21st Quintillis, which will always be a Saturday
Originally....your birthday should fall on the same day each year
28 day cycle for females....
And the lunar cycle is a 28 day cycle
The numbers for a month still don't make sense because April used to be the beginning of the year hence why we call April 1st April Fools Day because people were still doing the beginning of the year in April.
Your funny fair play ;) and shared 👏 🤣 👍 👌
your birthday would still be the 2nd of march, and the birthday of someone born the 29th of march would be the first of april and so on
This dude rocks
28 days don't stay in line with the new moons.
Not a single day in my life I cared about moon phase.
national treasure
France tried to get rid of it at some point, we ended up with something called the "calendrier révolutionnaire". Try looking at that now XD
Jesus plus 12 deciples equal 13.
I think the Leap Year complication is caused by the Solar Year (time taken for Earth to orbit the Sun), in conjunction with the Earth Day (time taken for Earth itself to rotate on its axis once) - but these periods do not coincide exactly - ie the Earth does not end up in exactly the same daily-rotation aspect, after it completely rotates the Sun once. Speak to the Maker.
365 days /13 months = 28.07 days
If someone born on March 29......where would it be on a 13 month calendar?
The Simpsons already named the 13th month. It's called Smarch. 😅😅😅😅
I like this.
12 months because of money. If a worker is paid a salary 11 months are 30 and 31 days. 4 months are 30 days. 7 months are 31 days. You work longer for the same pay. It was always a financial decision deep down and those with money make the decisions and ultimately to benefit themselves. 😂
Blame Julius Caesar since he added 2 months. Original colanders before that were 10.
So Saturday birthday people are happy forever and everyone else gets the short end? No thanks lol
Just use the Ethiopian calendar, 30 days for 12 months and the 13th month have 5 days and 6 days every 4 years
What about leap years? Do we just have a double intermission?
Yes
How do you think we deal with them now? Same.
He said that
So my birthday would be in Sextilis on the 9th day, which will always be a Monday 😐. Well at least it's not in Quintilis
No birthday,you were just born.
This is scriptural. Well played.
The truly enlightened ones know exactly why….. iykyk
New Year’s Day used to be April 1st. April FOOLS day
What about people born on a leap year, whats their new birthday
How about instead of intermission we call it purge?
Not Comedy All facts

We are working a month for nothing.
They way he calculates Birthday.. i dont find it quiet accurate
Main difference being, with the rest of the world the week begins on monday not sunday, so with this system you are never ever going to get a friday the 13th
My advice to astrologers is just keep making it up. 😂
Nothing new under the sun. He got only one important thing wrong: the new year naturally needs to start at spring equinox, so yoh cannot count the dys like he did.
MARCH CANNOT BE 1?!? Like that completely ignore Janus being the two headed and the keeper of gates and therefore the new year. Also MARCH was for mars because it’s when the soldiers went to war, so you want every year to START with the war month?!? What is wrong with this world?!?
Noted, January and March also get renamed
Nail easter down XD
What happens to Sakhalin on the 31 of Oct?
Who cares?
I do not want to pay rent 13 times a year.
Ahh, but it would be ~10% cheaper (same annual amount).
@@nurmr as if companies would charge less
Makes sense to me .
is that 13 rent payments, Electric bill payments, car payments, ect, If the government could make us pay more taxes by adding a month they would.
It doesn't really make any difference. Most things you pay for monthly are just a yearly charge divided by 12. So for a 13 month year, you'd simply divide the same yearly charge by 13. The overall amount you pay would be the same but it would be divided into smaller chunks.
actually would be less stressful for people as well.
😂
@@eljay5009Correct, but this wouldn't stop landlords, financial institutions or governments from increasing the yearly amount so that you would continue to pay the same amount monthly in a 12th month vs a 13th month calendar. They'd find some way to get extra money out of their customers.
In fact, going to a 13th month calendar could have a great impact on inflation and many other financial related processes. It just gives entities to many loopholes to be greedy.
Idea: the tiny calendar. The whole calendar is just the 7 days of the week. Let's say you are planning a wedding, so you tell all of the guests that the wedding will be three days long, and it will happen on a future Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. So the guests write that on their tiny calendars, while making their own future plans for the other 4 days in the meantime. Eventually the wedding plans are finished, so you tell the guests, and they go to their tiny calendars and move the future wedding dates onto the current week. Also, since it would be bizarre and rude to give the guests less than four days notice, and this would be equally true of most future plans, their plans for the current week would be mostly unaffected during this whole process.
This is silly just use the original calendar you confusing bastard
That sounds too complicated
@@Demonologist013 it's actually really simple, you just use a calendar of 7 days instead of 365, most of my comment is just an explanation for why that could still work
@@holdingpattern245 It wouldn't work at all
@@Demonologist013 people think it wouldn't work because they think there's a benefit to scheduling things on exact dates like that, but there isn't
Weirdly enough, I saw this on Tiktok, but freebooted by a flat earth account. Flat earthers and conspiracy theorists love this video for some reason. Not enough to give credit, of course.
Weirdly enough, some weirdo found a way to use a thoughtful, funny video to malign people whose only crime is having different opinions, using lightning rod buzzwords… but oh what a crime it is to this small minded fool.
This guy is still promoting a Roman calendar in a comedic fashion.
This is the only thing that makes sense to me..
What if your like me and your born on the 29th of February Also known as one of your intermission days
what if you are born on intermission🤔
Lol, This is actually genius. 😂

Wow this guy sounds super smart. Too bad he stole this from Tolkien. That's right not only did J.J.R. Tolkien create an entire world to include full languages, historical cultures and a patheon; he also created a better calendar system than we have in the real world. Just so 100 years later some comedian can plagiarize it and put it out like it's his own idea.
Fun bit though.
Unfortunately this guy doesn't realize the calendar is named by astrology because we used to be able to see the stars, and because spring was the original "new year". When you know that, not input does it make sense, but it relates to the musicality of the cosmos, instead of just someone's cleverness. So yeah, it's not that funny.
What if your birthday is on intermission? 🤔What's your date of birth?
I’d think like 0/0/2024 or whatever year
❤❤❤❤I want to help you about intermission days ❤❤❤❤ ❤❤
This year 2024 first day of the year starts on 24 April , we must t observe the star spica to get above the ecliptic ,this star mark the first day of the Year ,every year ,❤❤❤❤we call it the first of Abib
Dave Gorman's always funny. 👍👍👍👌👌👌🤣🤣🤣
He named the thirteenth month Gormanuary
@@Sonic12LexiHey
In essence this is the French Republican calendar, but with 28 day months and seven day weeks.
The premise of this entire thing is incorrect. Juli and June were not inserted in the middle. They simply added names to months previously just known by their number. The problem was that winter wasn't initially included in the calendar because there was no farming or whatever during winter. Later on they decided the calendar should cover the entire year including winter so they had to chuck a couple of months onto the beginning of the year (and I suppose to the end as well I don't remember the details)
Edit: I absolutely love the idea of the new calendar tho. I've come up with this exact system myself along with some others just for fun and this is by far the best one. Too bad we can't fit the lunar month into it tho as it doesn't line up with the year 🤷
Is there a must to force the year to 365days...😂
The seasons are 2.5 months which is 84 days, 6 days of transition. So while you align days, you now throw seasons out of wack.
What you would have to do is begin calendar counting based on seasons not days. Which is why this entire idea starts to become flawed. Counting days is only one equation to the grander question.
I was born in spring in the afternoon. You map birthdays that way. Astrologists would map signs the same. You also have exponential intermission birthdays. From leap year, to whatever day gets considered as intermission.
