    You're twisting my words. What I actually said was "Make Mexico! Pay for it!". Stop the pirating of central american media!!

    how is there not a universal consensus on this
    Because it's 100% arbitrary.
    also what part of "weekend" is confusing
    the part how things have a "front end" and a "back end"

    week+end is actually a false etymology

    the weekend is named after Wee Ken D, a staunch activist in the 19th century Scottish labour movement.

    The first day of the week is Monday, the correct units of measurement is the metric system, and the one true page size is A4.

    Get with the times, America.

    Tumblr just tried to tell me today was National Pancake Day and I was like "wait isn't that usually in February?" Google confirms that Shrove Tuesday was, in fact, Feb 9th. Looks like calendars are whizzing around like nobody's business.

    Probably the end times are nigh.

    Fun fact? He was also one of the first activists for "Larlar" as the start of the week.

    Weekend meaning front end and back end is so dumb

    It is the weekend, not the weekends.

    It is one ending!

    It really is super-duper simple.

    The calendar week starts on a Sunday, the business (or work) week starts on Monday.

    The galactic week starts in 12.6 Earth years and lasts for three of our milleniums.

    Sunday: technically correct, the best kind of correct
    The week, the 52 weeks per year type of week, starts on Sunday.

    Your work week or school week or whatever, is a separate, personal measure of time that people can go do whatever with.

    Tonight was my work-Friday, for instance.

    The week starts for me Monday as the Calendar shows
    My week at work starts Wednesday and ends Sunday the pay period is Saturday to Friday so in their anti overtime rants I bail early on Thursday rather than sit around being not paid to be bored and treated like shit on Friday

    I am Chiasaur11, and I'm here to ask you a question.

    Is a man not entitled to a reasonable starting point for his week?

    "No," says the calendar in London, "it begins on Monday."

    "No," says the man in the Vatican, "it begins on Sunday."

    "No," says the man in Moscow, "You will toil perpetually for the good of the worker."

    I rejected those answers; instead, I chose something different. I chose the impossible. I chose...

    Larlar.

    A day when the artist would not fear the censor; when the scientist would not be bound by petty morality; when the great would not be constrained by the small! And with the sweat of your brow, and your vote, Larlar can become your day as well!

    Time is perpetual. the flawed concept of a "week" and when it begins is boring and meaningless.
    Gravity warps time into a measured substance.

    yeah, but as creatures only able to understand reality as we can perceive it, it has uses.

    and Saturday being denoted as the seventh days by a lot of old cultures it seems reasonable that it was the intended end of the week.

    And it is you, the people who say it is Sunday that is the reason that God has abandoned us to this cruel uncaring existence.

    It disgusts me that so many so-called "progressives" are defending such an outdated notion as a Sunday start of the week.

    This may not be "politically correct" but all governments have passed laws saying that monday is that start of the week

    i would be okay with sunday starting the week if--and only if--we change it from "weekend" to "weekbread" and name the weekdays after lunchmeat

    Probably banking laws

    Or the joke I really found curious as a child and sad as an adult about banks being closed on a whim under the guise of a holiday
    I fought a war so banks could be closed was the comment made that I sadly found true

    Friday, because that's when I get paid.

    Otherwise Sundays, because that's what my calendar says.

    Monday: the answer you feel in your bones the night before
    My week starts monday, when I recover from the weekend and work.
    Tuesday->Friday are work and preparation days for sunday.
    Saturday is crunch time, get my sunday prep done or else.
    Sunday I run my Pathfinder game, with half the day devoted to practicing the voices for NPC, dialog, last minute map tweaking, and picking the week's soundtrack.

    I essentially build my entire week around preparing for Sunday, so despite the fact my calendar calls that the first day for me it's the last.
