        Such a stupid system. AD and BC are the same amount of letters. CE and BCE don’t line up when written. Drives me crazy!

          And they could’ve just said “BC” stands for “before the common era.” Fuck it, why not? And make up some other meaning for AD, so we can just hand-wave a non-problem.

          This is the date system we use. We’re not switching. It’s rooted in a religiously-venerated dead guy. Get over it. It’s not even accurate to that specific guy. They already fudged it all over the place a thousand years ago.

          I believe it’s used in the scientific community to avoid the religion. I’m not sure in what way it needs to line up when written.

        Why would crabs use the same reference dates as humans
