Oh awesome! I will do that, then, when I can. :-)

@rey I have that transistor sticker on my laptop, but heck, now I want the t-shirt too. :-)

@Alistor It probably started as a typo, but at this point I'm pretty sure it's just a cute shortening, like 'ott', 'derg', 'snek', etc.

@001zlnv Nah, this is my BC account, for being cool.

@emanate I didn't think this one through very well, mostly just wanted to rant about the Gregorian calendar.

Maybe I should have put it on my...AD account. :-P

@phenokage@snouts.online That's fine too I suppose! *shrug!*

@IrisKalmia It's true. One cycle around the sun, and smaller divisions, perhaps. There's never gonna be an absolute.

I've seen some sci-fi though offer "seconds" as a measure. Tying the second somehow into vibrating hydrogen or something. There's still going to be a metric, I just wanted to rant about AD/BC for a bit. :-P

Look, the only time travel metric for how far back or forward you've gone is one that is relative to the time/date/year you left.
BC/AD is not universal, and any attempt to set a universal measure would have to agree on a starting point.
This way, you could travel and know it's T minus 1200, or T plus 100. A fellow traveler might describe themselves in your time as T-50, for which you flip the sign and know for certain it's T+50 to you.
None of this Gregorian calendar nonsense. :-)

@itsnero Yikes, yeah. Nobody can say they don't have rigorous methods.

@itsnero Oh No! Ross and Carrie? :-)

"So...if you believe that you're in the wrong body, and really should be an inflatable pooltoy, does that make you a pump-kin?"

@Heffboom_Konijn @Oneironott But like: Haku, from Spirited Away, but more otterish than wolfish. He's already a river spirit....

@Heffboom_Konijn @Oneironott Aaaaaaaa this is the best!
(Otters would make the BEST noodledragons!)

@Oneironott Sportmans never know how to ride the bus/train, because they only do it for games. :-/
