RULES
- Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling.
- Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including all information that can initiate conversations when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.
- Avoid controversial topics (e.g. politics or societal debates).
- Stay calm: Don’t post angry or to vent or complain. We are a place where everyone can forget about their everyday or not so everyday worries for a moment. Venting, complaining, or posting from a place of anger or resentment doesn't fit the atmosphere we try to foster at all. Feel free to post those on !goodoffmychest@lemmy.world

I know ad doesn't stand for after death but for anno domain is or something... Its latin for in the year of the lord. That's why it supposed to start when christ was born, not when he died. Otherwise there would be a 31 year gap between bc and ad
I was literally taught there was a 31 year gap between the ages, because evangelicals are special
Did they give a "name" to those years?
I honestly can't recall. Probably?
Fair enough.
