The current "year" is roughly 350, based on counting purely from memory, though it is not universally agreed upon that this is the correct year or even how many Mondays should constitute a year. This gives the primitive cave dwelling people of this world exactly 24 hours to do whatever it is they feel like doing on that particular day, only for it to be completely undone and reset back to normal when the day is done. People in this world retain their memories however, and thus are quite aware of the unending cycle of this Monday. In fact, as this cycle has gone on for many years, the people are surprisingly brilliant in spite of their appearances, all having the intelligence and wisdom of someone who has bee...
