Can't wait for decimal time with 100,000 seconds/day /s
I actually quite like this idea. Or we could start using number base 12 instead of 10 everywhere else.
This would outdate centuries of equipment and scientific publications in the metric system.
A better idea is the International Fixed Calendar:
I like the spirit, but it needs tweaking. Sept, Oct, Nov, and Dec need to go back to being 7, 8, 9, & 10, respectively. Also, make the leap day at the end of the final month to keep all the weeks starting on the same day of the week.
29 June would be another non-weekday, much like Year Day.
Which months would you (re)move to adjust Sep-Dec to 7-10? Personally, I would just rename all of them but no idea what they should be.
