Solar revolutions and all that bollocks.

What's up with celebrating solar revolutions?

Okay, it's a bit of a big deal when you're born but why is one revolution of the sun forever after a thing to be celebrated? Who came up with that shit?

You could ague that two people getting married is a big deal (I don't think it is but wateva) but celebrating it forever more after one exact revolution of the sun? What's up with that?

New years day. The biggest load of shite ever. Just what the hell is being celebrated but a celestial irrelevance?

Why do we celebrate arbitrary shit like birthdays and anniversaries? What exactly is the achievement?

Considering that on average you're about to see only 70 - 80 solar revolutions in your lifetime ya might as well celebrate a view of them ...they're rare enough

Life is miserable enough without removing birthdays from it. Lighten up OP.

Well, when the average man's ability to survive relied on seasonal cycles it was pretty damn important.

Yay! We've gone around the sun one more time since you were born!

They didn't even have days of the week back then though did they? I mean, they knew what day was the longest and shortest but that was about it.

Nope.

Calling it a revolution of the sun makes it sound even cooler. I wanna celebrate that sh!t!

Surely traveling a billion kilometers around the sun at a speed of 108,000 km/h and not getting squashed by an asteroid along the way is something to be celebrated!

Nope.

I know. And the sun revolves every 25-30 days, depending on solar latitude. Did you mean orbit?

Pigs and flies and amoebas achieve that too.

Contrary to your thoughts on it, birthdays just got better for me.. Actually travelled around the sun 25 times. How fuking epic is that.

Yes. One revolution of the Earth around the Sun is the orbit isn't it?

Don't mind me. I'm bored and nitpicky.

Happy revolution.

Well no we aren't really as the Milky Way is also moving as is the cluster and super cluster of galaxies within which we reside.

I'm sitting here perfectly still. The universe is moving in apparent chaos relative to me. I am the centre of all things. I want a cup of tea.

You must be a riot at parties Chuck.

Permission to don pedantic hat?

Thank you.

A solar revolution happens once every 25 days.

I've never heard of people celebrating solar revolution. What the hell is that?

Amoebas are dry feckers and pigs have better things to be worrying about.

Surviving another orbit of the sun. \o/

It's more the significance lent to certain multiples because we adapted a decimal counting system that concerns me.
