At the end of the day it's all just a binch of numbers to me. I follow my body clock, haven't worn a watch in about 30 years and couldn't tell you which year I did what except for a few landmarks. I can guess the time of day to within a couple of minutes sometimes and I'm only a day or two out with days of the week too....lol.
Just numbers to me.

Start with this...our time isn't what you think it is.
Back in the day the previous calendar was changed from the Julian to gregorian.

Skipped Several Days
To get the calendar back in sync with astronomical events like the vernal equinox or the winter solstice, a number of days were dropped.
The papal bull issued by Pope Gregory XIII in 1582, decreed that 10 days be dropped when switching to the Gregorian Calendar. However, the later the switch occurred, the more days had to be omitted. (See table below).
This created short months with only 18 days and odd dates like February 30 during the year of the change over.
I think most people here know the calendar was adjusted. You sound like you are the first to 'discover' this. One article I read on it said some of the people of the time didn't quite get it and thought they were to be shorted so many days pay for that month or that those days were 'stolen from them'. Which is ridiculous, the days were just re numbered.
I am not sure what you are getting at... Are you saying that we should be concerned with calculating what 'day' it is if we had not been following the Gregorian Calendar, exclusively and only focusing on this? And why?
This has nothing to do with the Mandela Effect either.

Time, something we all assume we know how to tell. Try teaching it to a kid. This guy is really funny about how to teach your kid how to tell the time.

Hate to point it out....but....
The measurement of time is an agreed upon unit of measure....as is any unit of measure.
There is no universal standard dictated by Chronos.
One way or the other...it's all just a headlong dive forward into entropy.

Relda of course it has everything to do with the Mandella Effect.
(snort) of course I've known for a good fifty years that the calendar was "adjusted" that wasn't news. ROFL!
However, Needed that as one of the pieces of background information.
For the mandella Effect to work, you need to be able to move within what we know of as linear time, the way it's most commonly understood. Linear time of course ( to an extent) what we take for granted as being rather firm and progressing only in one direction.
What I'm inelegantly pointing out is that by playing loose and fast with the timeline ( cited in all the original examples) and us as humans going along with it there are GAPS that can be taken advantage of to change things.
Your Mandella Effect
The best analogy I have is the old story of the Muses or grandmas that weave the world. In a weaving there is the warp and weft and gaps within a weaving to "adjust" things, in our case adjust small events.
We would see these right away had our original timeline not been jerked around, changed days added, days stricken from the original timeline. Time is fluid. The passing of time changes depending on where you are doing the observing of it from. The best example of that would be once off world ( between here and the moon) while the earth rotates,
for the astronauts it did not. All they had was a clock to remain keeping time within our predetermined agreed upon system of 60 minutes in a hour/ 24 hours in a day.
THAT spelled out,
I'm pointing out anything NOT working within our standardized system of recording time pretty much has free reign to alter smallish things unnoticed. We are noticing some of them, then acting all surprised and flopping around trying to convince ourselves we are "misremembering".
The point in establishing what day and year it WOULD HAVE BEEN, gives us a baseline. A baseline to reevaluate what we think we are seeing now in reference to a lot of smaller things that are sure, neither here nor there ( the name of Depends) yet may be a symptom of larger things.
I can see how you missed the drift of where I was going with this, but SHEESH!
Usually you're a pretty sharp tack!!
It's one thing to sound relatively nuts by espousing different conspiracy factions have manipulated the general population, it's another to look at the fluidity of time and see WELL HECK! it's doable.
Dammit don't ya hate when that happens?
