+112 The calendar that most humans use is stupid. September, October, November and December mean 7, 8, 9 and 10 but they don't match those numbers as months. We should change it into an accurate form. amirite?

Well, it's too late to change this. Basically the whole world uses this calendar

I don't think we should remain with a calendar that was made inaccurate by an ego driven emperor. It's a stain in our history The 10 month calendar had 304 days, and a period of about 51 days that were unaccounted for because the winter was when the year was dead. It was even more inaccurate beforehand.

Yeah, I'm not saying to go back to the way it was before. But at least we could have the names corresponding to the correct numbers

by cedrickrice 2 days ago

Why? It would be more of an effprt to do that than it is to just accept it

by Anonymous 2 days ago

For the sake of accuracy

How does this inaccuracy affect in any way how anybody operates?

In Chinese and Japanese it's Month 1, month 2… all the way to month 12.

They got it right

We could just move the month names around...

The names and their original meaning are pretty disconnected. I mean, it's been a long time since I've seen a Februa Festival…..

If the names are meaningless, is it worth the ROI to go through with changing the names? Paperwork and software moving forward all needs updating. All historical paperwork will need conversions all the time when being read. Just like you frown upon the ego that got us into this mess, I think it's just not worth the time/money to change it all just due to your OCD.

It's just not doable, leave it the way it is and live your life. It is not 2025 either. And it rains on Sundays.

We shouldn't change it. If everybody understands the terms already as they are then there's no point changing it to make more confusion

I don't think you guys are stupid for this calendar. Sincerely, alien.

I fully agree. Why don't we just use DOY? What's the point of months anyway? They don't even align with the moon phases.

We would, but the Americans won't go along with it, and then it'll be a whole thing and we'll have space missions blowing up because they showed up on a different day from the one their European colleagues scheduled. Nobody wants that!
