Plus, the Discordian calendar has the advantage of already being implemented in Linux!
- notatoad 15y agoif you read the linked article, you see the explanation: the fourth commandment specifies resting on the seventh day. any proposed calendar that doesn't have a seven day week will never be adopted as long as religion still exists. and even if it weren't for religion, everything is structured around a seven day week. changing that would mean a drastic lifestyle change for most people.

- fl3tch 15y agoThis would be great if we had already achieved the 1950s dream of the three-day work week.
