I'd support the 4 day work week first, then get rid of DST.

I always wanted to do 12 months each having 30 days and 5 days known as "PARTY ON DUDES!!!"

That was a real thing in Roman? times. If I remember correctly they considered those five days as nonexistent and had a huge party/orgy and did whatever they wanted since those days weren't part of life.

Thanks to the discussion on Eddit about this.

The Cotsworth Plan, proposed in 1902, is a Solar Calendar. Quarters would each be 13 weeks long. The one "spare" day would be New Year's Day.

I like to have the weekend at the end of the week, both days together on the calendar. The day that starts the week varies around the world.

The new Friday 13th would be Friday 13th on the 13th Month.

There is already an ISO standard for naming dates: ISO-8601, which uses our existing system.

  • Your birthday is on Monday forever
  • Great fun for software engineers to fix everything
  • Friday 13th is not every Month, if the first day is Monday
  • Rent is 13 times a year
  • The French Republican Calendar had 10 Day Weeks and 30 Day Months.
  • Funny Video about Months
  • Calculate your birthday on the new Calendar by finding which day of the year it was in the current system and transcribing to the new one.
  • I think timing the introduction of such a Calendar would be important, too. For example, perhaps it could be arranged so that the Calendar was in tune with the Solstices and Lunar Cycle. When would be a good time?

Though people might argue that attempting to change our calendar system is futile, what examination of this issue does clearly show is how we could have benefited from logically thought out, scientific standardization from the very beginning. We could be the beneficiaries now, and with calendars or similar issues, we could benefit in the future.

Just start using it and act pretentious when others don't understand you. "What you're still on that old calendar. We're on the International Fixed calendar now."

This will never be approved because there is a Friday the 13th every month
