          Ok, but now subdivide the 73 day month-analogs into week-analogs.

          I can see calling the month analogs “seasons”, but 73 is a prime number so you’re boned. We need subdivisions smaller than that for practical purposes

            Don’t subdivide the 73-day seasons.

            Instead, subdivide the year into 73 5-day weeks.

            A year made up of 5 seasons and 73 weeks.

              Like I said, we need smaller subdivisions than 73 for practical purposes.

              just having 5 season per year and nothing else simply isn’t practical. Imagine having to wait 70 days to the weekend 💀. We need to have a week analog, and no matter what it’s not going to fit cleanly in the seasons.

              Actually, splitting the season into 10 day weeks with a 3 day weekend, and then ending each season with a 3 day holiday could work, not opposed to that lol

              But I don’t like 73, it’s not power of 10 or 12 so it doesn’t fit a decimal it duodecimal metric calendar. The universe sucks for not confirming to the way we order to count.
              I want to have like… A day, a decaday (week), hectoday (season), kiloday (year), megaday (millenium).
              And in the other direction, a day, a deciday (hour), centiday (minute), milliday(second) etc.
              So my plan is to change the orbit and rotation of earth to force reality to match our preferences
