For fun I created a calendar where a year is 1000 days. A month, 100 days, a week is 10 days. As an aside, i have created the same thing for a clock where a day is 100 hours. I threw it all here https://idiallo.com/blog/100 https://idiallo.com/blog/100

This is really cool! I can't imagine that many of the people who are alive now being able to adjust to something like this easily (having to completely change their understanding of what a second, minute, hour etc. is), but I do wonder how well someone learning this system from scratch would fare.

I also think that a 10 based system should be used somehow but this clock with 0-100 is way too fast and busy. Makes time flow through my fingers.

  We can count in tens or in tenets: > When rendering a clock that ticks with this new time, I realize that a second is too fast for a human to count. In fact, it's a little over 10 times faster (11.574x). So I invented a new term: Tenet. A tenet is 10 seconds. It's a human friendly time counter. Not affiliated with Christopher Nolan.

    In that case couldn't the the tenet and the second just swap so that the word "second" is used to describe something closer to a current second?

Why not use your own words for these new things you're creating? They're definitely not years, months, weeks, hours!

There was a Saturday Night live skit about the metric day that did this. If I remember a minute was 100 seconds. An hour was 100 minutes and a day was 100 hours. How will you stay up for a 40 hour work day? There will be an adjustment period that will be helped by G.A.S. Government Amphetamine Supplement.
