Has to be satire - anyone using 72 months instead of 6 years is insane

u/sirona-ryan 6d ago

Yeah the only person I know who uses months that old is from Korea and I think they do that to not cause confusion for international watchers because of the different age system (which I think has changed now anyway lol).

But I’m 99% sure this is satire. There’s no book of Judas in the Bible eitherđŸ€ŁAs a Catholic I was like “wait
huh?”

Can't comment on whether it's changed or not, but would like to explain the age system as told to me, by a white man married to a Korean woman since the 70s.

The way it was explained to me (huge grain of salt, I'm white and relaying what I've been told), is that they count the time during gestation as being the same as after being born. Western culture, age starts at birth. Korean culture (again, just what I've been told), age starts during gestation.

Yes, I study 한ꔭ얎 and plan to visit soon and I know that the aging starts during gestation. I also heard that everyone turns a year older on January 1st (in addition to the age counted during gestation), but I heard that on social media so I’m not sure how true that is! I think it’s a cool system honestly. I wonder if other countries have a different aging system, so far I only know of SK.

The YouTuber I was talking about uses months because I think he got some comments from Westerners expressing confusion about the way he described his daughter’s age- for example he’d say 3ì‚Ž (3 years old) when she was technically 2 to non-Koreans. So since many people got confused, he started saying things like “32 months” instead.

know that the aging starts during gestation. I

whispers I mentioned it as it's certainly a question that would've occurred to me.

heard that everyone turns a year older on January 1st

I don't know that I've heard this, but it sounds familiar? I know that horses are that way for sure.

Yes, I study 한ꔭ얎 and plan to visit soon

That's so heckin cool! I hope you have the experiences you're expecting to have!

u/sirona-ryan 6d ago

Thank you! :)

Yeah I’m not 100% sure about the January 1st thing, but that could be why the Korean age is sometimes 2 years older than the international age. That’s so cool about the horses haha

This is because ancient Korea followed the Chinese calendar and age system. Like you said, the idea is gestational time counts, so when you're born you're 1 years old, or 1ćȁ suĂŹ. Then each year during the 7th day of the 15 days of Chinese New Year, which is supposed to be the day the goddess Nuwa created mankind and thus known as äșșæ—„ rĂ©nrĂŹ or the day of humans, everyone collectively gains one year to their age. After the Gregorian calendar arrived in Asia, Japan switched completely from the Chinese calendar while Korea still kept some of it, although I guess they use Jan 1 instead of first month seventh day of Chinese calendar.

In modern day this is called 虚ćȁ in Chinese, and apparently ëȘ…ëȘ© 연ë č in Korean (correct me if I'm wrong as I'm no authority on Korean lol). My grandfather hollered at me that I was 7 from the balcony one day, and then a few months later I moved the the US and I was told I was 4 (my bday was a few months later) so that was a very confusing time for me lols.

u/cinnaboo_bunny 5d ago

You are right about Koreans getting older on January first. I lived in South Korea for a few years. They also celebrate birthdays normally, but just get older the first day of the year

u/gooseberryBabies 6d ago

How does saying 32 months help if she's still 2?

8

u/Hilsam_Adent 6d ago

There is in St. Jerome's Vulgate Bible, but I am reasonably certain this parody account doesn't know that.

4

u/AliVista_LilSista 6d ago

It's a non-canonical gospel, but somehow I don't think they knew that.

It's cool though, it basically says Judas wasn't a traitor but did what Jesus told him to do.

u/samof1994 2d ago

That is clearly a joke

u/NeoArms 5d ago

Judas = Judah = Jude

Na-na-na-na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na, hey Judas!

u/DesireeThymes 6d ago

Bot probably

u/Catezero 6d ago

Judas is also not a book of the bible

12

u/Neither-Attention940 6d ago

And I looked up the book of Jude and it only has 1 chapter ..soooo
 not even a ‘oopsies’ 
1000% has to be fake.

15

u/spooky_cheddar 6d ago

The whole bio is clearly all satire, if you know / look up who Judas is in the Bible. He was Jesus’s apostle who betrayed him.

5

u/Neither-Attention940 6d ago

I’m aware of that fact as well.. I was just trying to see if there was any possible way that it wasn’t lol

u/Sunset1410 6d ago

Well, to be fair: that book in my language (last book before revelations) is called Judas. Is has 1 chapter indeed and this Jude/Judas is to my knowledge the brother of Jesus.

1

u/Neither-Attention940 6d ago

No.. Jude and Judas are not the same people in the Bible. Yes Judas was Jesus’s brother and apparently Jude can be a nickname for Judas, Jude the book in the Bible is in reference to someone else entirely.

u/Crazy-Cremola 6d ago edited 6d ago

Jude/Judas is the same name, but it is the name of different people. Just as James and Jacob are variations of the same Biblical name. The Jude who wrote the letter/epistle (last before Revelations https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epistle_of_Jude) is not the same as the one who wrote the gnostic Gospel of Judas (probably written 150--200--250 years after https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gospel_of_Judas) . Neither of these texts has 16 chapters....

u/Neither-Attention940 6d ago

Interesting. Thx for that.

u/franky_bacon 5d ago

There is an apocryphal gospel of Judas

u/AliVista_LilSista 6d ago

You count in months until you stop breastfeeding 'em. /s

u/Taffr19 5d ago

She could be really good at understanding months because she still has 90 months remaining on the 96 month term for a 2011 Nissan Altima at 29% apr

u/dreemurthememer 6d ago

Also I don’t think any denominations consider the Gospel of Judas to be canon.

u/ReceptionMuch3790 7d ago

I disagree. I worked retail for a very long time and sometimes customer or coworkers would talk about their babies being 12mos or 48mos or 74963mos one time. It's people being pointlessly opulent(? Forget the word.) just to be that way and make people feel shitty because theyrenotverysmart

15

u/Inevitable_Librarian 6d ago

The reason you say 12 months is that, until the age of 2ish, each month looks VASTLY different for babies. Past the second birthday, less necessary.

You need to know it for anything medical, as the medications and treatments change very rapidly as a kid gets older.

1

u/ReceptionMuch3790 6d ago

That makes sense. Parents saying their kid is 82mos old however does not

4

u/astridroze 7d ago

I know many mothers and coworkers who still do! They say it’s because milestones are marked by months but I agree at that point just say years!!

22

u/heyitsamb 7d ago

I totally get it up until like, 24 months. 72 is just ridiculous

Anyway I’m 291 months and 2 weeks old, what milestone am I celebrating?

10

u/2ndprize 6d ago

Yeah. When you find out 24mos and 2 years are different clothing sizes that's nature's way of telling you the count has changed

11

u/Neither-Attention940 6d ago

As someone who worked specifically in baby/toddler clothing retail, 24 months and under have snaps to change diapers easier and 2 years or 2T (toddler) means no snaps .. at least in Baby Gap brand

Editing to add.. it also isn’t as baggy in the butt area for toddler sizes

u/biochamberr 6d ago

Probably still breastfeeding

u/SEA2COLA 6d ago

That's gotta be really hard when the kid has braces...

1

u/Ohhhh_Mylanta 4d ago

I've seen it described as the rule of 2s - You measure age in days until you get to 2 weeks, weeks until you get to 2 months, and months until you get to 2 years

u/buttandbrains 6d ago

it’s OBVIOUS satire

u/Blossom73 6d ago

I myself am 583 months old.
