This Day in History: 1582-10-05

– In a bold move, Pope Gregory XIII introduced the Gregorian calendar, effectively “robbing” the world of ten days 📅➡️🗓. This change was to fix the quirks of the Julian calendar, which had been rolling since Julius Caesar set it up in 45 BCE ⏳. So, instead of chilling on October 5th 🍂, people in the adopting countries were suddenly fast-forwarded to October 15th 🚀, creating a calendar jump for the history books 📚✨.
