Could still just say today is day 738,929 CE. Arguably not much harder to remember than 2023-11-05. It's 6 figures instead of 8 for example

- anon84873628 3y agoSure, not harder to remember a single date. But correlating your life events to past/future dates requires too much unintuitive math. What's the next date that we'll celebrate Christmas on? On what date is your 4 week follow-up appointment? You could also switch to decimal periods of 10/100/1000 days, but the whole source of the calendar problem is that humans care about the seasons outside.
