One day far in the future when the planet is united, would it be appropriate to start a new calendar at the neutral date 7/16/1969? Or a Mars landing?

[DrPepper12]

Yes. A human achievement - the Moon landing.

No. Multiple calendars are fine.

Yes a human achievement - Mars landing.

Something else

This is a solution in search of a problem

As a Catholic I think it would be taking credit away from those brilliant catholic jesuit order who came up with it much like they did when the replaced BC with BCE and AD with CE.

It's even more remarkable how they knew exactly how far to fix the augustan calendar.
Shane those people lost those 11 days...

[Gwendoline]

Yeah but it means summer isn't occurring in December and winter in July. Obviously that's extreme but that's what happens with calender drift.

[msmissydc]

Why should we add at least four months to create a neutral date?
(I know American way to do dates but calling it a united world with this shitty way to write dates is not gonna happen)

[DrPepper12]

WINNER!!! 🏆🙌🏻

Yes, apparently I'm that unselfaware

[Maybe_Maybe_not]

I'm aware that many science-fiction authors assumed a planet can be united, but we both know it was a way too easy simplification, to portray an intergalactic empire 😏

[DrPepper12]

Apple TV is the ONLY major service I don't have!!! 🤬🤬🤬🤬

AI takeover and create calandar based on BAI and AAI. all planets computers united, humans subdued.

[DrPepper12]

I like it!

[CupcakeTheDestroyer]

I would rather just eliminate August and July and have 10 months instead of 12 so the names of the months can make sense.

[Likes2drive]

No because we are still here but would need another calendar for each planet

[DrPepper12]

They do already. Each planet keeps local and universal time

[Likes2drive]

Never really thought about looking into that, interesting that there’s a universal time to solar system we’re in

[DrPepper12]

Universe doing a lot of egotistical lifting there...

Like the world in "world series"

[phraseology]

Nobody will ever follow your aspirations of a Nazi World Order you fucking peon. You might as well off yourself like Hitler you fucking failure.

[exitseven]

No, just changing to a new calendar does not change history.

[DrPepper12]

Ofc not but it gives an objective & culturally neutral date instead of JC BDAY

[Anonymous]

how do you suppose the planet will ever be united?

[DrPepper12]

When we can be civilized... Many millenia from now

[Opinion Owner]

and what would that entail becoming civilized?

[DrPepper12]

Repudiation of all MAGA & religions

[Opinion Owner]

ah yes and replace it with woke gender ideology, revenge/retribution/reparations for "victims" vs the "oppressors" and abortion celebrations where murder is and can be justified. real civilized ain't it?

[DrPepper12]

Not in my view

[Opinion Owner]

sure, tell yourself that while 4B feminists thirst over Luigi Mangione and justify him murdering the CEO of UHC

[Anonymous]

Yes, Elon Musk and his Starship is going to get us to Mars soon.

[DrPepper12]

Define soon

[Opinion Owner]

In 2026 I believe we will have humans on Mars

[DrPepper12]

JFC you Elongelicals are dumb as 💩
