  • I think you need to read the comic again.It's calling the USA (white) uncivilized, and everywhere else (mostly not white) civilized.

  • Only if your week is 5 days long, which causes causes problems with our current work culture.

    Also leap day is truly a fuck.

  • Like I said, we need smaller subdivisions than 73 for practical purposes.

    just having 5 season per year and nothing else simply isn't practical. Imagine having to wait 70 days to the weekend 💀. We need to have a week analog, and no matter what it's not going to fit cleanly in the seasons.

    Actually, splitting the season into 10 day weeks with a 3 day weekend, and then ending each season with a 3 day holiday could work, not opposed to that lol

    But I don't like 73, it's not power of 10 or 12 so it doesn't fit a decimal it duodecimal metric calendar. The universe sucks for not confirming to the way we order to count.I want to have like... A day, a decaday (week), hectoday (season), kiloday (year), megaday (millenium).And in the other direction, a day, a deciday (hour), centiday (minute), milliday(second) etc.So my plan is to change the orbit and rotation of earth to force reality to match our preferences

  • Ok, but now subdivide the 73 day month-analogs into week-analogs.

    I can see calling the month analogs "seasons", but 73 is a prime number so you're boned. We need subdivisions smaller than that for practical purposes

  • I wouldn't call having an unassigned remainder "perfectly". And always, leap day fucking shit up lol

  • It's a problem no matter how you divide the year

    That's why I propose changing the orbit of the earth, too

  • I'ma start a revolution where we use duodecimal metric for everything, including time.

  • It didn't have to a URL to an image. It could have been a serial number showing ownership of a thing, etc.

    But block chain isn't really necessary for a registry, and in the end the money was in scamming people by selling them urls to images.

  • Not only are you doing the very same thing right now, you're also precluding the solution to the paradox of tolerance.

    In other words, get bent

  • Has the imperial system gone to far?

  • I'm familiar

    It's funny because engineers are known for making simplifications like this, not because the simplification is problematic

  • Go on. Taste it.

  • You heard me
