Why is our calendar so convoluted? We should revise the leap year rule
>Leap year in years dividing by 4 but not 100 unless also 400
>accurate for 3000 years
Revised version
>Leap year in years dividing by 4 but not 128
>accurate for 300000 years

I'm sure this has been proposed thousands of times in history, the only excuses for not implementing it seem to be based on religious scripture and number magic mysticism.

A day is how long it takes the Earth to spin around itself.
A year is how long it takes the Earth to circle around the Sun.
But it takes 365.24 days for the Earth to circle around the Sun, so people decided to just say every three years are 365 days and every fourth year is 366 days. Lol.

No, a day is the long-term averaged length of time between sunrises.
