#to be fair the estimates can be anywhere from 1-11ish bce for his birth

[seesboy]

i find it so weird that the birth of jesus of nazareth is used as the marker between ce and bce. not just because it's intrinsically connected to christianity or whatever but also because he was believed to be born around 4 bce so that means it even fails in that regard. you guys had One Job and you Still fucked it up by an estimate of four years

#this was funnier in my head but it's still fascinating to me #like the marker's supposed to be his birth like that's where bc/ad came from #but he was born before 1 ce ! #to be fair the estimates can be anywhere from 1-11ish bce for his birth #but that's still before 1 ce. so why is he the marker #at the end of the day i'm not actually pissed over this but it's funny #gloomy.txt
