"Fucking Time Machine salesman ripped me off.
I bought a Time Machine from this guy and tried to go back in time to October 10th, 1582 but it didn’t work, saying “invalid date” or some such.
Tried again using a hard override and it dumped me off the coast of Africa on 1/1/1970."
>Thursday, October 4, 1582, was followed immediately by Friday, October 15, 1582. The days of October 5th, 6th, 7th, 8th, 9th, 10th, 11th, 12th, 13th, and 14th simply vanished from the civil record—they never existed for the people living in those territories. The switch was not universally accepted.
