“How do you see the months of the year, like in your brain? When you think about our calendar, how do you see it?”

Who is the TikToker who posted the puzzling question?
Tik Tok
Tatum, a social media user, revealed that she perceives the calendar year vertically, with “January at the top and December at the bottom.”
As a result, it puts February at the top of the list. The TikToker, for her part, indicated that her mother perceives the months alternately horizontally, from side to side.
Another acquaintance perceives the months as a square, with January, February, March and April at the top.
What did he say about some other months?

Then this friend appears to see May, June, July, and August in the second row, followed by September, October, November, and December in the bottom row.
“Anyway, how do you see it in your mind?” she asked the audience. “Because I always think that we are at the end of the year when we are in December.” We’re almost done.
“And then when January comes, we go back to January. Does that make sense?” Tatum’s musings have suddenly sparked a heated debate about how everyone else visualizes the months of the year in their minds.

One observer said: “A viral question sparks debate about how people ‘see’ the months of the year.”
A second said: “Depends on my mood, but off the top of my head, it’s February-July and August-January. Two 6-month columns.” “It’s hard to explain, but a square cyclic pyramid!” “I literally see my calendar in 3D and my perspective changes depending on what month I’m in,” a third added.
