The world very nearly adopted a calendar with 13 months of 28 days

Long before the current debate over Daylight Saving Time, a League of Nations proposal for a revised global calendar sparked the “Battle for the Sabbath.”

If the Internationl Fixed Calendar was finally adopted (thirteen months of 28 days each) where would Halloween end up without an October 31st anymore? I have theories. (1/3) #IFC #internationalfixedcalendar #Halloween

here's a question I think can only be answered on fedi, feel free to boost for visibility. If you were to use the Holocene calendar ruling for years, where year Jan 0, 0 HC is the beginning of the Holocene geologic period, then measure years by the rules of the #InternationalFixedCalendar #IFC what day would it be today? I know using the roman calendar systems, it would be 12023 today and to keep things simple most just leave the days as they are, but I find the IFC more numerically compelling. The program I hacked together to run the numbers seems to suggest a serious delta between the Julian/Gregorian date and this amalgam. #HoloceneCalendar #time #question #calendar #science #math
