On some devices, you can scroll all the way to year zero

I still choose to believe space cats abducted everyone and they had a cat party for 10 days straight

If your calendar allows you to go back that far, from the preview it shows it has all the days in October, but when you click on October, it actually shows 1 2 3 4 15 16 and so on. So it is not a glitch it is actually real.

My calendar only let me go back as far as 1902

Remember watching this dude's magic when I was younger then he disappeared off my feed for years, what a throwback to see him again

I actually checked it on my phone, and was disappointed to see all the days for October of 1582. Lol.

[Krowphay]

Tried this and October has the full 31 days for me

I like how the month of October at the beginning of the video looked totally normal until he zoomed in.

The 10-day gap from October 4th to October 15th, 1582, is indeed a historical fact, and it resulted from the adoption of the Gregorian calendar.

Here's what happened:

1. **Julian Calendar Issues**: The Julian calendar, which had been used since 45 BC, had an error in calculating the length of the year. It assumed a year was 365.25 days long, but the actual solar year is about 11 minutes shorter. Over centuries, this small discrepancy added up, causing the calendar to drift out of alignment with the equinoxes and solstices.

2. **Gregorian Calendar Reform**: By the late 16th century, the calendar was out of sync with the solar year by about 10 days. Pope Gregory XIII decided to correct this drift by introducing the Gregorian calendar.

3. **Skipping Days**: To realign the calendar with the solar year, ten days were skipped. Thus, in countries that adopted the Gregorian calendar in 1582, October 4th was followed directly by October 15th.

4. **Implementation**: The reform was initially adopted by Catholic countries like Italy, Spain, Portugal, and Poland. Other countries adopted the Gregorian calendar over the following centuries, with some Eastern Orthodox countries not switching until the 20th century.

The skipped days were a technical adjustment to correct the calendar system and align it with astronomical observations. There are no mysterious or hidden events tied to these missing days.

Other Fun fact, if you scroll back far enough and you reach year 1, it’s two years in one. So two Januarys, fwo Febuarys, and so on, and if you scroll back further the years go up again, so after Year 1 comes Year 2 but before Year one, Year 2 comes too

[Shhh]

Sept. Missing a day too& many other months weird, I never thought we where on the correct dates created imo

Me scrolling back to 1582 on my calendar at 4 AM: 👁️👄👁️

[SomeInternetGuy]

I never understood the point of being able to go that far back

[BiltmoreGhost]

26 seconds per year. Since 1582.

I'm not good at math but that kinda seems like we could add a whole other year into there somewhere once it finally catches up... 😂

[HaydenSlays-qj]

I scrolled and it was missing the days for me

[CerrusNorris]

Imagine when the find out the southern hemisphere has summer in November, December 😂
