You know how there used to be those “I lived by the rules of the Bible literally for a year” “I only ate McDonald’s for a year” things that were big in the 00s we should have someone do that but it’s observing every single holiday/observance. All of them. Across the entire world. Just everything on Wikipedia

in reply to @shel's post:

Fasting days as far as I’m aware begin or end at sundown in every culture I’m aware of that has fast days so you can just feast before or after the fast

But also the contradictions are the fun part

Reminds me of Mark Twain's Curing a Cold

"Within the hour, another friend assured me that it was policy to "feed a cold and starve a fever."

I had both.

I thought it best to fill myself up for the cold, and then keep dark and let the fever starve a while."

I tried to run a "holiday of the day" page for a few months. Every day is special. Every single one. There is no end to the celebrations. They will never stop.

There's a minimum of like 6 feasts every day just from the Christian saints. Today is the feast of observance for 13 different saints, there are 16 more tomorrow. Either you'll have to double up feasts, or declare a single Saltine to be in honor of Saint Homobonus, Patron of Shoemakers.
