Today is year in 2568 in Thailand - have you heard of the thai-buddhist calendar before? Do you follow any callendars other than gregorian?

I follow the Holocene Calendar, which simply adds 10,000 to the current year to arrive at 12,025.

12,000 years ago marks when we began the Neolithic revolution and therefore civilization and structures which survive to the modern day.

It’s not The Buddhist Calendar, it’s the Thai Buddhist Calendar. Plenty of Buddhist countries follow a different standard

It's 5785 on the Hebrew Calendar.

I would love to be on the international fixed calendar, but the rest of the world would look at me weird.

When I was living in Japan I followed the Japanese year because it’s commonly used. In China, everyone used the lunar calendar much more than is recorded. Especially 40s and older people use it for every holiday including birthdays. 20s-30s year olds might do western. It constantly messes with me because it’s not stuck with the solar calendar.

Yes.

My wife is Thai. I knew Thai New Year was here but it still caught me off guard when she wished me a Happy New Year this morning.

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!

Damn, all of these movies that claimed really cool sci-fi shit by 2500 were all wrong, and so fast too!

I don't follow any alternative calendars, but being a coin collector I'm aware of the Muslim (Hijri) and Hindu (Vikram Samvat) ones.

This is the thread that gives programmers PTSD.

Nepal has a different calendar and today happens to be new years day so happy new year! The new year marks the beginning of the year 2082. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vikram_Samvat

Maybe an advent one or two, depending on how many chocolates are left behind those little doors.

No flying cars in 2568? Man, this stinks!

Back when i worked in Thailand the first time i glanced at the date on coworkers computer it threw me for a loop. Then started saying well i live in the future now. Thought there’d be more robots

If switching calendars gets me out of this history timeline, I'll do it.

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?

I check the Tonalpolhualli everyday. Today is ome cozcacuatli "two vulture". Aztec Calendar

I usually count my weeks using the Christian liturgical calendar. For example, today is the first day of Holy Week (quite easy). It gets more obscure though when you have something like "The sixth week after Trinity" (Trinity sunday is a week after Pentecost which is 10 days after the Ascension which is 40 days after easter). Also would define Sunday as the first day of the week, but that's pretty common where I'm from anyway

If you’re a goofball you may follow the Masonic year plus 4000 calendar but I think that was fundamentalist Christian inspired by an ignorant literal reading of the Bible

Today is Pungenday, Discord 30, 3191 YOLD.

In Tamil calendar it is the year 5126. https://www.drikpanchang.com/tamil/tamil-month-panchangam.html

Indian subcontinent has several calendars, followed today, in different parts. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indian_New_Year%27s_days

The only other calendar where I understand how it actually works is the North Korean calendar that begins when Kim Il Sung was born.

My family is from India so they use a lunisolar calendar.
