     @urusan the way I would do it.
     Day = 12 hours
     Hour = 12 moments
     Moment = 12 minutes
     Minute = 12 seconds
     Second = 12 ticks

     Comparing to the current system.
     Hour = 2 hours
     Moment = 10 minutes
     Minute = 50 seconds
     Second = 4 1/6 seconds
     Tick = just over 1/3 of a second.

     @ned @urusan If your willing to re look at the system
     
     The year is actually 13 months
     
     1 day = 24 hours
     7 days = 1 week
     4 weeks = month
     4 x 13 = 52 weeks
     52 weeks = 1 year
     
     Then we can re look at the Old World Information
     that leads to our current year is actually 5998
     not 2023

     @charliebrownau @urusan month is a naturally defined length. Day is a naturally defined length. Year is naturally defined length. None of them line up properly. I would just ditch the idea that a month = x days altogether.

     @ned Why not give these new units different names to differentiate them from the old system?

     Second and minute in particular come from the degree-based rotation system that the use of base 60 comes from.

     @urusan could can't be bothered thinking of any. I like the length of moment and tick. Feels right to me. Moment is like the length of time it takes to sit on the couch and drink a cup of tea. Tick is like the speed of taping on the table with one hand.

     @charliebrownau @urusan first day of the month = new moon. First day of the year = winter solstice (in northern hemisphere). January could start on the first day of the year, could start on the 27th day of the year. Whatever. Some years will have an extra month that will carry over the new year. Undecimber.

     @ned @urusan I would rather go back to the OLD WORLD Calander
     
     4 weeks = month
     13 months = year
     it lines up with the solar and earth cycle better
     
     no day light 'savings'
     no public holidays

     @charliebrownau @urusan I expect to keep things consistent in this system you would have to schedule things by the week of the year, not the month. Traditional holiday dates like 25th December would be completely messed up. Would have to be held on day 359 instead.

     In second thought maybe let's just leave it as is.

     @charliebrownau @urusan another thing I would change that might piss some people off. Day starts at dawn, not midnight.
