Preferably year/quarter/week/day but good idea
Comment on Jesse is smarter than what we give him credit for.

I just thought of something that could be better,
Scrap months altogether, just divide the year into quarters of 13 weeks each, name them for the seasons, Winter, Spring, Summer, Fall, there isn’t really a reason why we need months specifically, if it’s to shorten date numbers then count by week number and day number
Day/Week/Quarter/Year
Today’s 7/8/4/23

Seasons vary by hemisphere, and it’s counterintuitive to force half of the glove to accept summer as winter or winter as summer.
PhlubbaDubba@lemm.ee 1 year ago
Nothing stopping the other half from just flipping it to match their seasons, that’s what they do already, and the number for date stays the same anyways
Ashe@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 year ago
I work and converse with people globally, as much as I love the idea of being able to use seasons as a marker of time like that, it’s just not possible.
Now let’s work on names for this 13th month…

Onzember based on how the last few months starting with September are all just part of a number in Portuguese/Spanish (and maybe other languages) + ember. Ex: November = Nove + ember, Onzember = Onze + ember

Hey technically only 12% of the world’s population lives in the southern hemisphere. Nowhere close to half.

I mean it’s the same amount you were paying before so just save for it like you had before

I don’t like how I have to write another / and number. As a human, I am lazy.

That, and Americans would do something stupid like have it be quarter/day/week/year or something.

Year/quarter/day would be sufficient
