Fun Fact: Winter is the first season of the year!

I hear people talk, especially in the realm of video game releases, of winter being the end of the year. While the last few days of December are the beginning of winter, most of the winter takes place at the beginning of the year. We are indeed in Winter 2021 right now. Next year if the 2022 Winter Olympics actually happen, it will be in February, not December.

Winter lasts till about the end of April where I live, it kinda sucks if it's clear and cold for 6 months, i would always rather have rain than snow.
 
Well really it would be summer right?

Australia has summer when we have winter, Australia is like 5 or 6 hours ahead of Europe (i know cos we watched the new years fireworks on TV with the kids in the afternoon our time)

So actually you are wrong.

Its summer, they entered 2021 first and had the first season in 2021

gift me gold for that shit

A is the first letter of the alphabet.

1 is usually classed as the first number but there is this whole urban myth where Steve jobs upset that Steve Wozniak was employee number 1 and in computing 0 comes before 1 so Jobs decided to become know as that.

Southern hemisphere is better.

We start the new year full of energy in summer... and then it all goes downhill from there.

Seasons? I'm sorry. I'm not familiar with that word. Where I live, it's just wet and wetter.

But seriously, it's either dry or wet here. I hope I get to experience some snow in my life.
 
Fun fact? It's common knowledge but thanks I guess. I suppose the average american that doesn't even know where Paris is, would have no clue about this either.

I said some years ago :

Seasons shifted some months forward

I mean obviously it is common sense, but people do talk about it backwards. They'll say something like God of War Ragnarok is expected Winter 2021. Well that would mean it's coming any week now. What they actually mean is the end of the year. That's why I made this thread.
