The answer blew my mind. (Let me find the link)

People who get affected by the moon know when there’s a full moon. So it’s cognitive bias (hope this is the correct term).

There are two reasons why the length of the solar day varies, the first being the fact that the axis of the Earth’s rotation is tilted - 23.5 degrees from vertical - and second, the Earth’s speed varies because it moves in an elliptical orbit around the sun, accelerating when it is closer to the star’s gravitational pull and decelerating when it is further away.

The sun therefore in effect lags behind the clock for part of the year, then speeds ahead of it for another.

Went to see The Favourite… Feel bad slagging off films that a technically well made and seems like people put a fair bit of effort Into it but…

That was not a film I enjoyed.

(Free on mubi go ATM)

Each full moon has a different name. This time it’s “Bernard”.

I always thought it was a bit of paranoia (which I’ll now term ‘cognitive bias’) from people who also believed that heavy rain brought out the crackpot.

That article upthread does change my mind a bit though.

And I’m glad you found it useful.

I’m in two minds whether to go and see it later in the week. Might not bother in that case.

nah its good, unlucky’s a tube

#146

I’ll be honest I was sat next to someone that ate an apple then ate loads of crisps during it and that did not enter me in the correct frame of mind.

And assuming tube is slang for someone with good taste in films?

#147

Who eats an apple and then eats crisps afterwards? No wonder you weren’t in the right frame of mind.

Eating an apple in the cinema is some elite-level breach of social norms :smiley:

Yeah…i was eating a sandwich during the trailers before Free Solo the other day and the film started just as I took a bite, I kept it in my mouth until a noisy bit and only then did chew/eat it.

I meant to write “who” and have since corrected.

My brain is going all zappy so I should probably sleep.

You know, like Harvest Moon. They’ve all got names mostly based on farming or hunting.
