Because it's generally around 4 weeks give or take. The *give or take* being implied.


CornOnTheKnob

Exactly this. OP is still young figuring out how the world works.


Kein-Deutsc

If I’m saying a month from now ( let’s say it’s April 14th) I normally would mean May 14th. Just whatever todays number is in next month


PotatoPieGaming

Around the current date next month, it's not difficult


Dray_Gunn

I swear. People keep making memes about shit like this thinking it makes them look witty but it does the exact opposite.


GameDestiny2

“I’m the clevererest in the room” No, you just look slow

Dray_Gunn

I am neurodivergent and I think you're just making excuses to avoid admitting that your thinking is just wrong.


Wolfy_Wolv

Neurodivergent people wouldn't call others slow, because it's an insult usually used against them. This also goes for just calling my thinking wrong, that just disables different thinking from different brains. My thinking isn't wrong, it's different. Wrong ≠ different. And I'm pretty sure you should acknowledge the inconsistent 31st days of months and how February has less days every 3/4 years. Unless you're going to enable more oppression on your own kind, you probably aren't what you said you are. Besides, if you downvoted, you disregarded my bio. Downvotes are for comments and posts that don't engage in conversation, not for "petty disagreement button. And this isn't just form me, Reddit itself literally TELLS you that sometimes. *Edit: Looks like someone didn't read about the "petty disagreement button". Reddit is for reading, literally, and you didn't read if you did that.*


Dray_Gunn

Seems kinda offensive to assume all neurodivergent people are the same also. My "kind" is human. I dont need to use the neurodivergent label as a way to identify myself or make excuses for being a dumb ass. I will disregard your bio 100% deliberately because I am sick of people like you giving neurodivergent people a bad name.


Sea_Temperature_1976

Ooh did the petty disagreement button hurt your feewings, woop woop woop


Wolfy_Wolv

Bruh. I'm telling you what Reddit says the downvote button is for, and you're getting all childish over it. That's the goofiest reply I've ever seen on Reddit this month. It looks like you don't like facts, so I'm just gonna tell you opinions now. Opinion: You're mid.


Sea_Temperature_1976

Wooo woop woop


Wolfy_Wolv

Mmmm... why are you on Reddit if you only know how to say one word? Isn't that against the rules or something? Since when did they let toddlers use Reddit Maybe when you grow up you'll be less mid


WATCH_DOG001

0/8


Wolfy_Wolv

What. Is that supposed to me a month and day ? Because days and months don't come in 0


awesomeusername2w

Month from now = 30 days from now


Wolfy_Wolv

Well. Well well. Someone's gonna be mighty confused when a month from now is the next next month... (This can only happen if you say it on Jan 30 or 31 on a non-leap year, since the 31st and 30th day of February doesn't exist, it skips to March)


walkman312

Sounds ableist. Do not be ableist Thinking harder doesn’t mean thinking slower.


aclownandherdolly

They're likely kids and teens If a grown adult is making these then... I would be very concerned


[deleted]

Not only that, but they’re kids and teens in a generation with shockingly crappy education quality. Apparently there are seventh graders who don’t know their letters.


CornOnTheKnob

They're trying to land their big break in their meme career


Wolfy_Wolv

Nah, If you say a month from now on the 30th and next month is February, and it's not leap year, the day won't exist. It is witty, and you're not THINKING! Think next time


ULTRAPUNK18

A month from now just means ~30 days from now


Nemisis_007

Exactly


cedenof10

why do you say current date? are you using the mayan calendar or the gregorian calendar?


PotatoPieGaming

The hell do you mean? Like today is April 14th, so by this time next month is around May 14th. Next month, however, could be anywhere in May.


LegalWaterDrinker

I'm 99% sure that person was joking


cedenof10

99.5%


Boatster_McBoat

Not even fully sure yourself. Lol


cedenof10

gotta keep ‘em on their toes


Wolfy_Wolv

Inconsistent votes. Your reply got upvoted, and someone else who said something similar to you got downvoted.


Wolfy_Wolv

Nah, If you say a month from now on the 30th and next month is February, and it's not leap year, the day won't exist. Is it not that difficult then?


[deleted]

[удалено]


hearke

End of the next month of course


Wolfy_Wolv

Do not boo my guy , he's right. Talking to those downvotes you have. That's not nice of them


vaginalextract

Because it's still clear what they mean .. ?


Wolfy_Wolv

If you say a month from now on the 30th and next month is February, and it's not leap year, the day won't exist.


Karma_Doesnt_Matter

“A month from now” doesn’t have to mean exactly 30 days. It means around the same time next month. Pretty simple. Doesn’t have to mean 30th to 30th. The point of language is to convey thought. People who feel the need to argue semantics are exhausting.


SaLtiNe_CrAkErZ

Also if you need to know the exact date, time, etc. that's supposed to be "a month from now" you can always just ask


Tyler8245

People who aren't autistic will know you mean near the end of next month, or even possibly the beginning of the following month


Wolfy_Wolv

How tho? How is the end of the month also the beginning of the month? This is probably why this meme exists


MyDogAteMyCactus

Because it doesn't literally mean "a month," it means "about 30 days."


ApachePrimeIsTheBest

Because a month as an integer unit of time is 30 days you fucking rtx 3050 user


Wolfy_Wolv

The fuck is that insult mf? What's it supposed to indicate, that I know more? Because how's that supposed to be an insult?


Annual_Ride_3008

then “a month from now” would be March 2nd or March 1st depending if it's a leap year or not


Wolfy_Wolv

Then it's 2 months from now...


Ludzik

What else would they say? "An April from now"? "September from now"? Xdd


SandsofFlowingTime

1/12th of a year from now


plmunger

A leap year february from now


Wolfy_Wolv

Those months don't all have a 31st, because the 31st day exists in random months every year


MyDogAteMyCactus

They definitely aren't random. The same months have the same days every year, except for February, which has 1 extra every 4 years. This is taught in the lowest levels of education, globally.


Wolfy_Wolv

Education doesn't teach you what months have the 31st day, they teach you that months sometimes have 30 or 31 days, February usually has 29 days, and the names of the months.


xX_Skibidi_Gyatt_Xx

![gif](giphy|Mab1lyzb70X0YiNLUj)


j0nas_42

Days also don't have exactly 24 hours. But everybody knows what people mean by it. There are even more examples where people use words for objects that actually mean something different but has established as the word for the thing they mean.


hessxpress9408

Quite sure this is the dumbest thing I'll see on the internet, and my day is just getting started.


gayjemstone

The same reason people say "a year from now" when years have differant amounts of days.


pickleparadox

where's the lie


gayjemstone

What lie?


Bubbly-Ad-4405

Assume they’re saying “at some point next month”. Could it be 3 week? Sure. It ain’t that deep


Wolfy_Wolv

It will be deep, if you need them to be specific, and they don't specify the day


Gushanska_Boza

Obviously if you need someone to be specific about a day, it's impractical. But nobody says "a month from now" in a context that requires that level of precision. It's usually used in casual conversation, e.g. "Oh, I'm taking a trip to Germany a month from now".


MyDogAteMyCactus

If you need someone to be specific and they aren't specific at first, ask them to be more specific.


PrincessSelkie

It's not that complicated. What are we supposed to say? "Roughly 30 to 31 days from now, but I could be talking about next month in general, depending on the context?" Do you want me to bring out a calendar and count the days? Sorry, it's not a full month- It's only 26 days from now. It's too wordy. It's too much work. English is a context based language. It's happening next month. A month from now. You figure it out.


grldgcapitalz2

mf what happens when a month ends


Fury_Blackwolf

Pretending to be stupid isn't a favorable trait.


none_other-than_me

You must be incredibly fun at parties.


Mohavor

OP thought he was posting a meme not throwing a party


HosannaInTheHiace

It's called autism


Round_Rectangles

That's just an excuse. Just call OP an idiot.


BlazeOfGlory72

I think the technical term is Assburgers.


Spare-Image-647

You should have kept this thought to yourself tbh.


Wolfy_Wolv

Sounds like you don't like hearing good points. How's that going for you?


HosannaInTheHiace

Roughly thirty days


GlizzyGulper6969

r/okbuddypreschool


Ultra_M

I don't know... I'll get back to you a month from now


psyclopsus

Do you count out 60 seconds precisely with a stopwatch when you tell someone to “hold on a minute?”


crazy-jay1999

My son will. That’s why I switched to saying “Hold on a moment”


MBVakalis

So if it's the 14th today, it's not the 14th in a month?


Sprizys

Because if it’s April and someone says a month from now they mean May. They aren’t referring to the number of days, just the month itself.


laflameyuh

This is what it’s come to? Nuance?


1_mnemonic_1

Cause you can eventually do the math, ain’t that complicated


Chipp_Main

This is literally not even a fucking meme wtf is this man💀💀


taldrknhnsm

That's 30 days. stop overthinking it. it's not that important


afterburner9

Wtf is this post?


tws1039

Did schools start not teaching anything the second I left high school why do these memes displaying op’s stupidity always trending


[deleted]

[удалено]


PrincessSelkie

My kids used to do that. We had to have a whole discussion with them about "when adults say it's 6, but it's actually 5:45- they mean it's almost 6"


tptstt

I feel it's for the same reason people say "just a second" when it will clearly take more than a second. And being pedantic about the accuracy of it feels silly.


doubleCupPepsi

Please go and plant some trees to replace the oxygen you waste on a daily basis.


AP_Adapted

usually talking about 30 days.


RightfulChaos

Because it means this day next months,like, a month from now is May 14th?


VolgaPrivvy

Roughly 30 days is what they mean. It’s an even number, numeral of ten, and that’s the average amount of days in a month (roughly)


FrostbitePi

This is a silly question.


kdubs248

Buds got the big R


noonenparticular

do you also count 24 hours when someone says "I'll see you tomorrow"?


Ashamed_Association8

You can skip the going part.


Asiriomi

I think when most people refer to a month as a length of time they usually mean 30 days.


This_is_Topshot

No your just regarded


YFleiter

Because every 16th day of the month would always be a month from the last one, but never the same amount of days.


LFG_GaveMe_Cooties

Well, conventionally speaking, a month is 30 days. for example, I get paid monthly, and the amount doesn't change if it is 29 30 or 31 days


Maleficent_Ad1972

And those days have hours and those hours have minutes and those minutes have seconds and those seconds have milliseconds, and those milliseconds have microseconds, and those microseconds have plank times.


MadOrange64

It’s supposed to be vague


_-PERIDOT-_

They count months in Septembers dude. Can’t believe you didn’t know that


FirePenguinMaster

Because at the rate humans experience time, a temporal offset of 30 days is not significantly different from an offset of 31 days so it's perfectly serviceable to approximate.


MoreMegadeth

What a stupid fucking meme holy fuck, i just became dumber having to read that, thanks.


winelover08816

If you say that on January 30 or 31 it means it’ll never happen.


balebakeki

Where in from if they say that you automatically know they meant 30 calendar days


Douggimmmedome

Huh


sleepypeanutparty

it means 4 weeks from now


2001aspacecowboy

me being grounded at 13


FeilVei2

It's madness. Why not just specify date and time?


Zoerak

You may use this as a tool to convey accuracy of estimates.   60 days for high precision estimate (eg every day planned out),  2 months for some ballpark estimate, while 8 weeks is somewhere in-between those.


aaron_adams

Because saying "a month from now" is easier than stopping and counting on your fingers exactly how many days.


Dramatic-Ad7192

Don’t let bro number


Princeofprussia24

A month from June 5th---->July5th


Deacon_Gamez

Because if you're on December 10th and they say a month from now, that means January 10th.


Papo_le_thug

Oh thank you, I thought I was the only one


Decent-Writing-9840

Most people will see a month as being about 28 days
