You are the end result of a “would you push the button” prompt where the prompt was “you have unlimited godlike powers but you appear to all and sundry to be an impetuous child” – Zero, 2022
Wait, what is the connection between July and August and the later months having the wrong numbers?
AFAIK the months are named that way because the calendar went from March to February at one point. If anything the fact that February came last is probably why Julius and Augustus picked it as the one to steal days from.

This is what I get for trusting an elementary school teacher to tell me the truth about history.
Yeah, March was the beginning of the year in a lot of places until fairly recently so the months are numbered from there. Additionally, in really ancient times, apparently the Latins considered the winter a monthless bloc period, and it wasn't until Latium/Rome started to become a state of some note that the winter was divided into January and February and the year's start was shifted to the former.
