  Okay so let me think out loud

  August is month 8

  It takes 9 months for babby to formed

  Okay so 9 months prior to August is…

  Wait fuck does that include the first month

  No wait yeah

  So human mating season peaks in December

  Makes sense.

  In the north, it’s too cold to go outside and play ball sport, might as well impregnate partner.

  In the south, it’s too hot to go outside and play ball sport, might as well impregnate partner.

  So the solution to the declining birth rate is to criminalize ball sport

  I will take my findings to the UN

    TL;DR: it’s actually November.

    Okay so 9 months prior to August is…

    You can simply subtract 9 or add 3 to the month number. If you want to verify, break out your hands and get counting months. Start with no fingers raised for November, then raise a finger every month you count, and see where you get to when you have 9.

    Wait fuck does that include the first month

    A duration is going to include the starting and ending months. Do a very simple example: January (1) to February (2) is one month (2 - 1 = 1).

    If you feel silly for messing this up, don’t. Off by one errors are incredibly common. I always count them out just to double check em myself.

      But doesn’t the 9 months of pregnancy technically start on the first day since a woman’s last period? That’s what makes anti-abortion laws even more absurd, because you can be 8 weeks pregnant if you only had sex 5 weeks ago.

      but what about ball sport

      • IndiBrony@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

        UK plays and watches a lot of ball sport in December.

        I’m sure 9 months also includes November. November is when cold and dark starts. Cold and dark means people seek to get warm. Impregnate partner is warming.

        Also, I imagine there’s another birth peak in November due to Valentines babies.

    Yes, some girls don’t want to not have a boyfriend over the holidays due to social pressure. Not sure if that is still a thing, but it definitely was when I was young.
