Strange `humanize` intervals

Issue Description
It seems that the intervals being used for the various thresholds for humanize are a bit strange. For example, on one of my websites, I have a list of upcoming events with both the calendar date and a humanized description. As of today, January 9 2026, there are two events, one on January 24 which appears as "in two weeks" and one on January 25 which appears as "in a month."
15 days (the 24th) is indeed about two weeks away, but 16 days (the 25th) is certainly not a month away - if anything it's also closest to around two weeks away. It isn't even closer to three weeks than two, less alone a month.
