When I become dictator of the world, this will be the new time unit: https://metric-time.com/

The year will also have 13 months: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Fixed_Calendar

The year will be 12025: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holocene_calendar

Because these things just make more sense. You will thank me after a few generations, because habits are hard to change.

I'd love to have a 13-month calendar.

Seems a bit odd to not use a base 10 number of months.

Redefining the definition of a second sounds very problematic.

If you make the 13th month a holiday with no work, you have my support .

Team 13-month-calendar assemble!

I haven't done enough digging on metric time, but if it's implemented as a UTC/global time I can get behind that. I'm sick of timezones and DST.

Nah, instead we'll go back to the local noon standard where the time zone is set by when the sun is directly above you. Instead of a couple dozen time zones we'll have thousands.
