My Engineer brain likes that. My History brain hates it.Hastur wrote: ↑Thu Nov 08, 2018 2:56 amFirst of all, we should scrap the weird radixes of Egypt and Babylonia. Let's go full metric and have 10 hours with 100 minutes each. Let each minute be 100 seconds. The second would be approximately the same 1 metric second = 0,864 old seconds.
Then fix the calendar. A week should be 10 days of course. That gives us 36,5 weeks a year. A bit asymmetrical. First, we take out 5 days. 6 if there is a leap year. That leaves 36 weeks. Four seasons of 9 weeks each. The 5 saved days go in between the seasons for special holidays celebrating summer and winter solstice and the equinoxes. One day each with the extra day and the leap day inserted to prolong one of the holidays to keep the calendar in sync with the sun.
It would work best if we divide the seasons into three three week months so we can keep the 12 months we've gotten used to.
All we need to do is to name the three new days. One of them should be part of the weekend. I propose Hasturday for the last day of the week. It should be dedicated to the destruction of unnecessary stuff.

Re: Time Zones
Farmers could always wake up an hour earlier. Why does the entire time system all of us live under have to change when all farmers have to do is set their alarm clocks an hour earlier? Don't they wake up hours before dawn anyway?

Fuck you. I am petitioning the democratic party Congress to adopt French revolutionary time to mesh with the metric system that is now mandatory. The imperial system is fraught with toxic patriarchal oppression. Current year.

Re: Time Zones
We shouldn't be looking for stupid shit to fix. There is nothing wrong with our time zones or day light savings time. It's quirky, so the fuck what. I like having cultural quirks, it adds to uniqueness of cultures. Don't go changing us so we conform to some Star Trek communist utopia where every person and culture is the same. I like diversity.Speaker to Animals wrote: ↑Fri Nov 09, 2018 8:08 amFuck you.

VDH is right, we need to get back in touch with our Yeoman Farmer foundation, we would be a much healthier nation if we did.

Re: Time Zones
It's not a "cultural quirk" when you suffer from severe neurological and sleep disorders, dude. It's really bad. For the rest of Americans, it causes a lot of lost sleep, mental health deterioration, and even accidents. It's a stupid ass policy that never had any reason to exist in the first place.C-Mag wrote: ↑Fri Nov 09, 2018 8:12 amWe shouldn't be looking for stupid shit to fix.

Daylight Savings is a preeminent example of how stupid progressivism can truly get.
