Its going to be extremely hard to update computers and other devices for this Title: Re: Could this catch on and make life easier? Post by: pavlooster on August 12, 2019, 01:47:25 PM What about the cycle of the moon? and things like seasons, where farmer and sailor planning their harvest?

Another good point, is't the cycle of the moon 28 days? Season is exactly 13 weeks each, a quarter. Not sure what a sailor harvests Title: Re: Could this catch on and make life easier?

Another good point, is't the cycle of the moon 28 days? Season is exactly 13 weeks each, a quarter. Not sure what a sailor harvests I can imagine something else with a 28 days cycle... It would be great and a sign of humanity advancement. But i doubt it when there are countries still refusing to use metric or drop daylight savings among other silliness. And while not mentioned, it would be of very important for the western world to abandon the roman names of the months, that are actually telling things like "month 8" to the month currently in the 10th position, or some roman emperor/god(es). This reminds me that the followers of "Zoroastrianism" are divided in 3 or more factions precisely because of the calendar (each faction with their own variant). Unfortunately a bunch of superstitious fools are so scared of the number 13 they would even omit it from floor numbers or seating positions, imagine their faces from this proposal. Oh did you know if the Zodiac was updated to current constellation positions, there would be 13 not 12 signs? Not like people care about astrology anymore... Interestingly the Soviet Union also proposed, 6 and 5 day weeks. There was also the metric clock, but people like their 12... I would welcome it, but people still like to call months like the Romans did, and don't even question why. Title: Re: Could this catch on and make life easier?

Originally more (maybe all) 10 months were called with numbers, but they started putting deities and later emperors in there. Why, oh why we must use Roman Emperor names for months? At least Asians were smart to stick to numbers, the actual (http://actual) number, ie: month 12, not December which means 10th. Before September (7) was Sextillis (6) and Quintillis (5), but some Emperor decreed themselves more fit than some lousy number. Here is the Wikipedia article: Legendary 10-month calendar (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roman_calendar#Legendary_10-month_calendar) They don't teach this in school, but they still force kids to learn these nonsensical names for the months. This probably needs language changes, as several western languages are using those ancient roman (non-synced) names for the months. Title: Re: Could this catch on and make life easier?

This was already tried, its the Decimal time (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decimal_time). It didn't catch on. Quote from: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decimal_time in the French decimal time system there were 100,000 decimal seconds in the day, so the decimal second was shorter than its counterpart. No bonus seconds, just smaller seconds :)However people mentioning computers should know that internally they do have a Metric time (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metric_time), so changing that into "anything" else is rather simple. What about those devices who aren't connected to internet? Can image how much time It'll take to update them manually? Just sync at 000 (ie. 12am).There is a little python script to show you Swatch's internet time, aptly called swatchtime. I installed it on linux in under 1 beat :) At the moment of this writting we are @980 just 20 beats for midnight in Biel... Title: Re: Could this catch on and make life easier? Post by: CristianOff on August 15, 2019, 09:57:49 AM If on the actual calendar my birthday is July 15th, when will my birthday be on this new 13 month calendar? Also 13 = unlucky number Friday 13 = unlucky number There are 13 Friday 13 in a year = unlucky thing See why this was not adopted yet? Cause even if it makes sense it's unlucky Title: Re: Could this catch on and make life easier?

Cause even if it makes sense it's unlucky July 15 is the 196th day of the year so depending when you would start such a calendar its 196 days in. Lets assume January 1 start so it would be the last day on the 7th month. 13 is a unlucky number for some superstitious people just like seeing a black cat and other such outdated nonsense. 4 and 7 are unlucky number in Chinese. Extremely bad is four, generally, door numbers and car registration numbers do not contain any 4 in china. Just like a odd numbers is lucky and even unlucky in Russia.

Chaos is a beautiful element of life, trying to streamline everything like a robot is very inhuman and suffocates creativity Title: Re: Could this catch on and make life easier?
