Lists like "Year in review", "Best of the year", etc. should be compiled AFTER the new year has started

Why publish something claiming to cover the entire year if the year isn’t even over yet??

The exact beginning, and therefor the end, of a year are arbitrary. The only thing that’s important is the distance (or time) between the two points.

So a best of 2024 list could also span from July to July? If that were the thing you would and should obviously call it something different. But I share the unpopular opinion, if the list is called best of 2024, it should only contain 2024

Best of 2024: The year of Luigi.

No, not Luigi Mangione. I’m talking of Luigi Mario. Super Mario’s brother. 2013 was Nintendos Year of Luigi. Let’s include that in the best of 2024.

What? The other guy said dates don’t matter as a required criteria for your date based list. So, fuck it, why not, ya know?

That’s why December comes from the Latin word Decem, meaning “ten”. The year actually starts in March. Wake up sheeple!

March = God Mars, April, May = Godess Maia, June, July = Julius Ceasar, August = Julius Ceasar Augustus, September = 7, October = 8, November = 9, December = 10, January = God Janus, February,

Unpopular Opinion [Locked]

Create post

Welcome to the Unpopular Opinion community!

How voting works:

Vote the opposite of the norm.

If you agree that the opinion is unpopular give it an arrow up. If it’s something that’s widely accepted, give it an arrow down.

Guidelines:

Tag your post, if possible (not required)
  • If your post is a “General” unpopular opinion, start the subject with [GENERAL].
  • If it is a Lemmy-specific unpopular opinion, start it with [LEMMY].

Rules:

1. NO POLITICS

Politics is everywhere. Let’s make this about [general] and [lemmy] - specific topics, and keep politics out of it.

2. Be civil.

Disagreements happen, but that doesn’t provide the right to personally attack others. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Please also refrain from gatekeeping others’ opinions.

3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.

Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.

4. Shitposts and memes are allowed but...

Only until they prove to be a problem. They can and will be removed at moderator discretion.

5. No trolling.

This shouldn’t need an explanation. If your post or comment is made just to get a rise with no real value, it will be removed. You do this too often, you will get a vacation to touch grass, away from this community for 1 or more days. Repeat offenses will result in a perma-ban.

Instance-wide rules always apply. https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/
