I unironically love this. Of course it isn’t practical in the least, but I love it.

Wake me up when Septempril ends
Sounds like a medicine I shouldn’t take before asking my doctor if it’s right for me.
Managust, the manliest of months.
Genuine Question:
if you could split the month names into 3, how would you split them to maximise their choice overlap?
- “em” is a good overlap for nov/sept/dec
- “uar” is good for jan/febr
I assume the post is the maximum. I wonder if there is an algorithm for that
hierarchical letter clustering would be my guess, or graph-based clustering using ngrams of 2-4 as nodes and maximising for connections.
Or using an optimized Regex and printing out the DFA?
Edit: Quick N-gram analysis (min=3, max=num letters in that month)
R-code
library(ngram) tmonths = c("january", "february", "march", "april", "may", "june", "july", "august", "september", "october", "november", "december") zzz = lapply(tmonths, function(mon){ ng = ngram::ngram_asweka(paste(unlist(strsplit(mon, split="")), collapse=" "), min=3, max=nchar(mon)) return(gsub(" ", "", ng)) }) res = sort(table(unlist(zzz))) res[res > 1]This gives the following 9 ngram frequencies greater than 1:
ary uar uary emb embe ember mbe mber ber 2 2 2 3 3 3 3 3 4As you can see two longest most common motifs are “em-ber” and “uar-y”
Using this I propose the following graph
Mermaid
stateDiagram direction LR sept --> em nov --> em dec --> em em --> ber oc --> to to --> ber feb --> uar uar --> y jan --> uar ju --> ne ju --> l l --> y ma --> r ma --> y r --> ch a --> p p --> r r --> il a --> u u --> gust
Thanks for saving me time, my head was already spinning on the previous comment but you made it stop.
I’m really disappointed by June, April and August. Without these months, everything would be so neat and orderly
Freaking romans with their gods and emperors, they couldn’t go from unember to duodecember

are the only two hallucinations, everything else is always a legit month
My wife and I always wanted a joctober baby…
I use febr a rch btw
You know about neo-pronouns, get ready for neo-months

Ask your doctor if Moctopril™ is right for you!
My insurance won’t cover it so I have to take Novemugust…
Novemugust is what I’ve been feeling since last November.

at least no bot will solve this
This is disgusting. Who enters dates in month/day/year order?
How do you see that and this is your reaction?
Because I’m not used to entering dates in month/day/year order.
Neither am I but much less am I used to the day starting at 0
That’s just adding salt to the would
Jocktober
Jocktober is a workout month. Gotta get fit for my costume.
I understand that bad ui is a fun meme and all, but how did this one even cross their mind as an idea for a bad UI? This is a new level of convoluted I would not have even considered.
My guess: someone messed up trying to split an array and split a string from it and hilarity ensued.
It’s too unregular and too good to be a coincidence. Unless they threw an algorithm on it that was intended for whatever
To be clear, I don’t think the choices are a coincidence; I think the general idea is one.
Might be a decent way to sort out bots, actually.
