    The Gregorian calendar is pretty solid actually. Other than a leap second every few years, it’ll stay in sync for a few thousand years. You can easily calculate all leap days in a one-liner.

    365 is semi prime, so we could do a 5 day week, but that’s pretty minor in the grand scheme of things. There isn’t a lot to improve on the Gregorian calendar

      • leap days only coming at the end of the year, not in the middle
      • 5 day week
      • 73 day months
      • 30 day months with 5 non month days

      Don’t get me started on timezones

        Time zones are an abomination of legacy design features that should be taken out back and put out of their misery… And then a functionally similar but way simpler system put in place.
