You want me to use BCE and CE instead of BC and AD because its too 'religious'

But what event triggers this "common era"?

    There's only one fair way to do this, we gotta look at every calendar system in the world and average them together to determine the current year.

    Does this mean we'll go a few years back every time the emperor of Japan dies? Yes. It's a feature, not a bug.

      From this source , that would make the current year 2965.

      I personally think we should just use the Assyrian calendar, where we're in the year 6771. That covers pretty much all of recorded history.

        A bar chart is kind of a funny way to represent those numbers. Like wow, the Assyrian calendar has so many years, while the French Revolutionary calendar is really lagging behind with rookie numbers, they gotta find a way to get more years fast if they wanna make up the difference.
