Amazon is running a Prime Day sale on July 16 and 17. Setting aside the fact that this is two separate days, neither 716 nor 717 are prime numbers. They should’ve done 7/19 instead.

    12 is smaller than 31 is smaller than ∞, though.

    Really, we can all come up with vastly reasonable reasons the date system we prefer makes the most sense… but in reality it’s all very subjective. Not only will different methods be appropriate for different situations… but some people just prefer their own way.

    It’s all really moot, though. We should have been using stardates for the last 55 years anyways.
