The thai-Buddhist calendar starts from the he year Buddha is thought to have died. Pretty cool! Any other calendars that you follow?
If switching calendars gets me out of this history timeline, I’ll do it.
If you’re a goofball you may follow the Masonic year plus 4000 calendar but I think that was fundamentalist Christian inspired by an
ignorantliteral reading of the Bibledeleted by creator
Its very impressive how historically it’s one of the most important dates! I wonder how far history going to treat it
It overflows a 32 bit integer in 2038, which could cause some interesting problems.

Currently living in 1446 hijri :D

This is the thread that gives programmers PTSD.
While being aware of other calendars, I don’t follow them because they don’t have any impact on my daily life. When building worlds for tabletop games I love to dive back into them for inspiration!

I don’t actually use this calandar, but as a Chinese-American, its an interesting historical calandar. Bring me the vibes of the era of the resistance against japanese invasion. Its hard to decribe the feeling, its like nostalgia, but not exactly, its not too ancient to be associated with monarchism, but not too modern to be associated with the modern Information Era or the Cold War or CCP. Like, it’s this weird time period where makes a great setting for spy movies.
It’s 5785 on the Hebrew Calendar.
No flying cars in 2568? Man, this stinks!
Flying cars is such a terrible idea tho. Imagine worrying at home that roof will collapse on you

There’s the Islamic calendar, which uses the lunar cycle instead of solar one. The Javanese also uses lunar calendar, but with different formula for dating.
I know there’s the Chinese calendar, which is based on lunarsolar cycle. Are they the same?
