SOULLESS CHINESE COMMUNISTS WANT THE WORLD TO DENY CHRIST
:frothingfash:
Anyway, I'd be happy if we just stuck 10,000 years onto our current calendar. Get rid of the arbitrary BC/AD divide, I wanna see the greatest hits from the history of human civilisation on a single timeline
The joy of the 'Holocene Era'. It does have the advantage of having a coold name.
Stick another couple hundred thousand on there and start it from the beginning of the anthropogenic mass extinction.
fuck it, that actually makes a lot of sense and I'm shocked it hasn't been done yet
not for practical use, but for anything in space
It sounds sci Fi, but it could make sense for space exploration. We do have an old calendar... :posadas:
Fuck the year I want two things:
Metric time
French Republican calender
Metric time- 100 seconds in a minute, 100 minutes in an hour, 10 hours in a day.
French republican calender- 10 days in a week, 4 weeks in a month, each month has a cool weather name like " snowy" . 3 months in each season and 12 months per year. 360 beautiful days each year
I believe it was the French tradition that they were just " extra days" .
Just 5 or 6 holiday days in a row, party days
I am currently reading a book on the Terror, apparently those 5 days are not all holidays, which actually pissed people off at the time.
For another L, a 10 day week meant for a lot of people more work days per each rest day. Really if we want to fuck with the calendar we'll have to throw out this capitalism thing first.
Putting on my Richard Wolff hat and proposing a system in which we identify how much we need for the year and only work as many days as it is necessary to produce that much, rather than building up a massive wasted surplus.
The week between Christmas and new years where no one does anything, but institutionalized
Death to America
i want a lunisolar calendar for earth:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metonic_cyclei want to look at the date and instantly know where the sun is and the phase of the moon. it will help immensely with my astrological megalithic structure building.
base 12 is better than base 10, time is the only thing we got right don't touch that lathe
You'd change the length of each unit. A metric second would be shorter than an imperial standard second in the same way that a centimeter is shorter than an inch.
I still think some circular unit would be better than 10. Right now, each of the 24 hours represents a 15° rotation of the Earth.
Definitely one of the least arbitrary methods of measurement on offer.
But I can understand the impulse to clean up the calendar.
That's boring, we need to get extra religious. Let's make a big dumb radioactive artifact and base our time on its decay.
Bonus: We will get y2k and Maya 2012 at once when the artifact depletes its radioactive capacity.
I've heard the hypothesis that the ark of the covenant is/was radioactive. Now we just have to find it.
The real ark of the covenant was the uranium we mined along the way.
Year 0 should be the release of Iron Man, the beginning of the MCU and the calendar.
T-10 Minutes until chuds on my facebook feed get real fucking triggered
Chuds will get mad at this as a rallying point behind the Gregorian mess.
Then again chuds will get mad at almost anything, including long lines at the Golden Corral.
Lets just start counting back down to human extinction. We've probably got more than enough time on the clock.
Not like it matters but can you even imagine the reactionary christian media's (i.e., the media's) response to this if it was even credulously brought up by anyone running for office in the united states lol
having said that i would actually :vote: for this as a single issue voter a) to piss off chuds and b) because it would be cool to be the first generation with a tombstone that said "born 1991, dead at 4.23 x10^9, he died loving gay space communism"
13 month calendar would have the exact same number of days in each month with each date of the month being the same week day so the first day of every month would be Sunday, etc. Only would have one extra day of the year so you just make it like "day zero" for new years and a holiday. God I wish we could do this. Would be so easy to set up schedules and know what the date was and keep track of shit.
Five me those 5 days of chaos festival, you bastards! :angry-hex:
Always a good idea to keep the measure of time updated with our knowledge of the cosmos.
