but Josh dude how are you arguing with a calendar?

Following in the fine tradition of rainbow cake comments (previously), watch some folks on a bodybuilding forum try to determine how many days there are in a week.
This post was deleted for the following reason: Hey, sorry, but this is getting flagged like whoah, and it looks like a sort of not terribly uncommon dumb internet slapfest from over 6 years ago with some offensive macros, etc., so maybe not really that great for a Mefi post. -- taz
It starts at post #6 and gets really good around post #8 in case you're initially confused, like I was.

I don't know how you found this gem but I'm glad you did because I'm suppressing laughter trying not to wake anyone up.

The argument picks up again about 3 pages deep in the thread when like 2 other people chime in not knowing how calendars work.
For what it's worth, I am on team Calendars Are Hard.

One guy pulls out the "I am well educated and make a lot of money so my argument is valid" trope and gets this in response:

That's terrific you have alot of money. Can you lend me $800? I'll pay you back $100 every other day for 2 weeks. Sound cool?I am dying.

2 things:
1. Are threads from forums really "best of the web". Not judging, but asking. If so, there are ALL sorts of threads I'm gonna start posting. Like ex-wives selling off their husband's $40k watch for $200, dudes posting pics of their chicks on cars while people diagnosing them with all sorts of diseases, people in exercise forums who post all their input, but then have forgotten about their $$, so are forced to live on ramen for 1 week and show pics. My god, this opens up so much.
2. Im not a member, but I see a LOT of shit coming from the bodybuilding.com forum. WHY?!?!?!? I thought it was this niche site, but apparently, a WHOLE bunch of stuff starts on that forum. From rumors to great ideas, to funny shit, to horrible shit. Why is that forum so popular?
