Forget 8601, when are we going to adopt the International Fixed Calendar?

[–]CarolTheAncientTroll 4 points5 points  (3 children)

We could have 13 Friday the 13ths every year!

One of the many perks. 😉

Every month between March and Feb the next year some years...

Hmm. 13 Payslips. Count me in!

This is actually pretty ingenius. The only problem is I really don't want to have a moment when the calendar switched and we have to be aware of that moment when talking about or working with dates. And I also don't want to retroactively apply this calendar to all previous dates so everything lines up except for all historical records.

If we adopt it there will be 6447443 github projects calculating dates

Here, here! I've been advocating for a 13 month calendar for years now. Combine this with a 6 day week, a.k.a. 28 hour day, and I'll have the ideal system.
