Combined with Holocene calendar and decimal time.. hnrggh.. one can dream! I actually designed a spreadsheet for exactly this and it works perfectly. Only issue is that it doesn't auto-update, you need to edit an empty cell of the spreadsheet (doesn't even need to be saved), for it to update to the current time.
Would be nice to have an installation that lets you use that calendar and time format...
The true ideal.
While we're changing the calendar, can we rename September through December so they're not off by two?
Septem, Octo, Novem and Decem are the Latin words for 7, 8, 9 and 10 respectively, but they're actually the 9th, 10th, 11th and 12th months of the year. This is because the Roman calendar was originally only 10 months, but Julius Caesar inserted two new months in the middle, without renaming the last four.
Maybe the oldest tech debt in existence - the calendar was changed in 45 BC.
In Japanese months are named based on the number of the month, literally "first month" to "12th month", which is the most sensible way to do it
Why not just call February 2026 "month 2 of 2026" and call the 9th of February 2026 "the 9th of month 2 of 2026"
Agreed. It's so simple and beautiful.
- The once a year extra-day is an international Eat The Rich holiday. Probably tied to the winter solstice.
- And every fourth year we all get a bonus-extra Leap Purge holiday.
The Gregorian calendar has nothing on this!
The best part is that every date (i.e. the 1st, the 22nd, etc) would always fall on the same day of the week, every month.

This could be every month if we adopted a 13 month calendar of 4, 7 day weeks. Works out very cleanly with only 1 extra day per year.
