I like your optimism, fairly unrealistic but the optimism is nice to see

On this point, it would be stupidly hard.

Just from a programming and software perspective. All the old code that runs banks and the back end of air travel. It barely runs as it is, do a switch up of years, even leaving the months alone and it would probably freak out. Standadize the months while you are at it and the whole thing falls apart.

Are you old enough to remember Y2K? That required a lot of techs to spend a huge amount of time fixing code that was never intended to see years change from 19xx to now just even consider 20xx.

That is before we go about changing paper Birth Documents, marriage documents, house deads, ..... Should I go on?

I feel like aircon wasn't as common back then, especially strong enough to cool all of that

I wonder this with obsidian also, it is one of the things that keeps me from diving in head first.

It seems a lot of its "powerful" functions are against it's plain text advantage. However I don't really see an easy way around it.

At least at the end of the day you or someone else could write a script to modify the plain text files for the next app.

Haven't cloned sheep been a thing for decades? I'm sure some dark corner goverment lab in America, China, or Russia surely tried it on a person. Teenage Putin gonna pop up as soon as Putin dies.
