I think it’s very brave to join a forum on April Fools Day though…

Wasn’t ā€˜April fool’ one big psyop?

April 1st used to be the start of the new year (makes sense, the winter is when we’re in ā€˜rest’ mode, not ā€˜raring to go’) and so they tried putting people off by calling them april fools - who are the fools really tho? :101:

When I look out of the window, today feels like the start of the year to me. In fact yesterday was the first time I’ve actually left the house this year!!

Here are some vids that might interest you all:

Some people think there are multiple reasons, not just to force people to work through winter (ā€œrise n shine it’s a new year let’s get loads of work done!!ā€) but also because the ancestral calendar was more closely aligned with women’s menstrual cycles etc. And we all know how the patriarchy despise women. Lots of fascinating reasons many of them highly plausible, especially when you consider the whole point of these ā€˜modern’ systems are designed to enslave people to just make money for the ruling classes. To keep breeding soldiers n slaves, soldiers n slaves.

People are waking up.

How did that work then? If women menstruated at the same time each month life would be a lot easier, but it doesn’t happen that way.

It sounds plausible Azz, aren’t there other celebrations that have been used to cover up something that was considered bad by Christian beliefs?
However, isn’t the calendar based on the movements of the earth in relation to the sun?
365 days for example…Not entirely accurate! But then, numbers were only invented by man…
A few of ships I’ve been on don’t have a deck 13, and during my time as a postman there weren’t many number 13 houses…

I’m not sold on anything that indicated moon life and women’s menstruation is linked. This is a debunked theory likely created by a patriarchal man in the first place. Much like the theory that hysteria is linked to the womb. Women astronauts who choose not to suppress them, have normal cycles.

There are many theories in the waste bin sent there by debunkers that were sound theories Annie…Who exactly are these ā€˜Debunkers’? And how do they differ from ordinary scientists and theorists?

OGF there is a theory of menstrual syncrony, women who are close to each other emotionally and live in a group often harmonise their cycles quite quickly. This may have at some point been linked to a phase in the moon by some bright spark back in the day because women’s cycles are normally every 28 days. But the link is other women not the moon because astronauts lose the lunar connection but still have regular cycles.

By making causal links between completely unconnected events (just because that used to be a popular belief once), you often miss the true reason. I could make up an unconventional theory and see how long it takes to circulate around the planet and how soon you post it here as truth. There are people doing this every day on social media.

You have me at a disadvantage Annie, I must admit to knowing very little about women’s menstrual cycles except that during my younger days a bit of nooky was banned during a period…
For whatever reason, neither happens now…

Annie! I don’t believe everything I read, neither do I disbelieve it. I make judgements about theories based on many things in order of preference…
(1) Will it affect me if I believe it or not?
(2) Is it of interest to me?
(3) Will it change the world based on my decision to believe or not believe?
(4) Does the theory contradict what I learned in school?
(5) Does the theory contradict the things and experience I’ve learn’t in my 74 years?
(6) Who proposed this theory?
(7) Do I know enough about the topic to make a judgement?
(8) What feedback will I get from members of the forum?
(9) Do I just act like a sheep and believe or not believe because everyone else does?
(10) Will it be too late to go for my walk this morning?

Foxy, no one knows much really, that’s a fact :smile: but, Forums (and the like) would be a bit boring if some folks didn’t claim to ā€œKnowā€ something, even if it’s just an excuse to wind everyone up :icon_wink:
