It really annoys the hell out of me that we don't use a better calendar. I think about this once a week at least. I feel like being stuck with the Gregorian calendar is a good example of why so many inefficient structures exist in society - some assholes centuries ago decided on a thing, and out of habit and laziness we've stuck with it since.
just think of everything in terms of seconds from 1970 and itll all fall out
Until 2038
64 bit computers exist
Until 292000002023ish
I know, it was just a joke. It's not really like our brains can have an overflow error (...yet?).
A compromise for the time keeping purists:
Set the current time to exactly 13.77 billion years (in seconds) then add the current Unix time in seconds from January 1, 1970 to maintain continuity. Just conveniently forget about the 40 million year uncertainty, it will cloud your mind.
This way we have an absolute clock that is closer to reality than from some religiously based calendar.
Relativity would like a word.
Until someone adds a leap second
Better idea: instead of Epoch time move it back a few months to the moon landing.
They programming community calls this technical debt.
Right? Imagine using the sun and the moon to track time. So fucking dumb.
Persian calendar exists, a lot of people use it.
Can we give the UN all the power it can and have them implement this new calendar?
No.
Unfortunately, you’re right.
