Yes, and if we're playing my connect 4 rules, you can also aim for a Monday - Tuesday - Wednesday - Thursday diagonal.
You can also go 3D. January 8, February 5, March 4, April 8 would be 4 in a stack.
thank goodness i can see time in 3d now. this wont end badly.
Seeing time in 3D, mayhaps like a Time Cube?
Holy shit, what an opener, and then the second paragraph is the perfect punchline. I think the wiki editors knew exactly what they were doing.
huh? please elaborate. The opening paragraph of the time cube article appears normal
It is entertaining.
What if we add a 4th dimension with years?
Sure. That would be 4 days in a… well stack is already taken, so what do we call that?
Maybe a box, or a jumbo stack
Four days in a box. It’s settled then.
That’s the third dimension of time. You playing 6D chess over here
If you include multiple years, you can add one more dimension.
That's only moving in the third dimension without moving in any other.
If you have movement in all 3 dimensions, you get January 1, February 6, March 13, April 25.
Thats diagonally and stacked.
Diagonal for the win!
