minus-square@RizzRustboltlink56•1 year agoRotation now set to “standard” 24 hours exactly. No more wonky 23.99873 hours screwing up automated functions every 12 years.

minus-squareandrewlinkfedilinkEnglish10•edit-21 year agoWhy not take this opportunity to make time base 10 for all meaningful measures? 100 weeks a year. 10 months wherein the moon orbits once. 10 hours per day. Or even just base 2. I guess it probably matters most that planetary bodies have evenly divisible periods and we can figure out the rest.
