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,
