There is no such thing as a Stupid Question!
Don't be embarrassed of your curiosity; everyone has questions that they may feel uncomfortable asking certain people, so this place gives you a nice area not to be judged about asking it. Everyone here is willing to help.

- ex. How to tie shoes
- ex. Can you cry underwater?
Reminder that the rules for lemmy.ca still apply!

Yes uteruses utilize NTPoAC (an unofficial spec that is defacto-standard in industry, roughly implementating of rfc5905 using rfc2549). This makes women's periods synchronize when peering to correct for internal clock differences. The individual unit isn't guaranteed to be exactly 12 times per year due to latency variation and peer graph discrepancies, but the count is monotonic and regular on average, resulting in amortized constant time complexity which works out to be approximately 12ยฑ0.03 in practice, as observed in real world applications.
