It makes an even better job than the Gregorian calendar when it comes to approximating the calendar to the solar year.
minus-squarekava@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·8 months agolook at the chaos that Y2K was. one doesn’t simply adopt a new calendar. it’s too ingrained. it’s like ripping out the foundations of a house to build a new one. it would have to be one hell of a calendar
