Depends, mine starts on Monday. I also live in SI and ISO. My wife’s starts on Sunday, she goes to church. Although I still don’t get that as the seventh day was a rest day.
It does sometimes make talking about Sunday next week confusing.
Edit for all of the dumb fucks downvoting me (can’t believe I have to explain this): SI and ISO are STANDARDS, not places where you can live. Holy fucking shit.
Practically everyone should know SI, or have at least heard of it before. It’s the standard system of measurement used in most of the world. It includes base units for time (seconds), distance (meters), mass (kilograms), electric current (amps), temperature (Kelvin), amount of a substance (mole) and intensity of light (candela), plus a bunch of units derived from these.
It’s practically only the USA that doesn’t use some of three units (for example, preferring feet over meters)
ISO is a standards body. They define a bunch of standards. One of the more well-known ones is ISO 8601, which defines standards for dates and times. It specifies that weeks start on Monday.
Care to explain? I’m new to Lemmy so haven’t found the ropes yet. I know there are different instances but no clue about the global server architecture

Because sabbath was the seventh day, the rest day. It predates Christianity. It’s like the very first book of the Old Testament…
What day was the Christian day of rest & worship day again?
8601 represent

Oh lol way to embarrass yourself
What in the fuck are you talking about?
One does not live in SI if one means standard units (like ISO)
You are one unique being lmao
We do

You replied to wrong person I think 😉
American self-reporting
I’d thought I’d see less people of the USA on Lemmy but it seems I cannot escape them
Says the person posting from a US instance…

We have our ISO and Americans have their ANSI, everyone has something
