Someday aliens will land and all will be fine until we explain our calendar
This is absolutely hilarious, and despite being long form, fits Twitter format very well, with each chunk funnier than the last :)<p>A few notes:<p>- Per my knowledge US is the only country which stubbornly (and illogically) considers Sunday to be the first day of the week;<p>- US (and maybe one or two English-speaking countries) are the only ones using 12h time, the rest of the world uses 24hrs, however 12h _sometimes_ is used conversationally;<p>- May be the author got tired (or whatever he took started to wear off) but I consider omitting the whole DST thing a major missed opportunity. :)<p>Also, for those interested, look up Swatch time invented in late 90s and touted as more logical replacement of the mess that we have. I believe they still maintain some Internet presence but mostly gave up on promoting it. Good luck breaking 1000+yo habits.
