A year doesn't have to be a whole number of days. That's not at all required by physics.

But why would the gods have done it that way? What would the calendar even look like? She's laughing so hard it's making her cry.

Did the gods toss each individual planet into orbit with just the right perfect spin?

That's what everyone says!

The gods let their beyblades rip with a watchmaker's fucking precision, and the length of the day was never affected by the moon's gravity at all, never slowed or accelerated by it, because that was all factored in?

Nor ever changed by the loss of a moon's gravity, nor by meteor impacts?

Checkmate, theist.

I don't think that'd make that big a difference in the length of the day? Planets are big and fast and it's only been a few thousand years.

The gods sure seem to work in mysterious ways but she's pretty sure they'd bother to do something about it if Earthfall changed the length of a day.
