Ideal calendar system?

Is there a better system to organize the weeks, months and days than the current one?

Just like we have Kelvin (although nobody uses).

And some people say there are benefits to having numbers up to base 12 (or even 60).

Discuss all of this, this is a thread for organization.

bump, i've heard there's some scientific calendar that proposes 7x4 months.

lunar calendar.

We should just measure time in Ctime.

For example, right now it is the 1464558333922th.

Hey, I have a meeting at 1464558536800!

My birthday party starts at 1464558500232!

I graduate uni at 1464563038992

Simple, comfy, objective.

What about the tranquility calendar or something like that?

the moon calendar is clearly superior.

If you go out during the day and look at the sky, can you easily tell what day it is without any instruments?

Whereas if you go out at dusk, and look at the moon, you can tell exactly what day it is in the lunar calendar.

Mayan calendar was a pretty cool moon calendar. Too bad we can't use it now. Cause it ended. What are ya gonna do?

Except it isn't.
Do you want holidays, etc. to rotate through the calendar like Ramadan?
What about solstices, etc.?
What about memorial day/labor day marking the beginning and end of cultural summer?
That's an awful lot of added complication just to gain "I can tell the date by the phase of the moon", which is bullshit anyway.
Could you really distinguish between the fourth and fifth days of the lunar cycle just by looking at the moon?

you DO realize it wouldn't move with respect to that calendar if we just all adopted it right

you are clearly not a smart person, this calendar is not for the likes of you to understand.

yes, it's pretty obvious desu

1 day for every month.

(Calendars are arbitrary measures of time)
