The YouTube Channel Kurzgesagt has proposed a calendar based on the 'Human Era’ (HE) instead of before/after christ format.

It’s based on the first monument of large-scale human cooperation (building a temple in modern-day turkey) and is quite elegant in my opinion. It ‘simply’ adds 10.000 years to the calendar we’re all already used to. :)

I’m curious if this wil have any impact on chocolate slavery

There are alternatives like …not sure what it’s called in english. Mastika? Mastiha? It’s a tree resin from the mediterranean that’s been used for that weird greek rezina wine. It’s an acquired taste, but I personally really like it.
