At risk of going way off topic, this reminds of the weird debates I've had with people about post-COVID calendars and how all the days kind of seem the same and all the months just weird. I've got friends that got deep into the "What day in March 2020 is this again?" "fandom" (https://whatdayofmarch2020.com/ https://whatdayofmarch2020.com/)
My own ridiculous reaction was trying to use the French Revolutionary Calendar with the English month names (either the joke ones or the more serious proposal depending on my mood): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/French_Republican_calendar https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/French_Republican_calendar
It's really hard to use a different calendar, even as a joke. Obviously this effort was not helped that though there is plenty of software calendars that can convert to/from the French Revolutionary Calendar quite obviously none of them were English localized (in either the witty or the serious names), and it isn't really worth the time to do that, especially just as a joke. (Today is 21 Sneezy or 21 Fogarious, if you were curious.)
