  3.  @NothingXemnas  The reason Anno Domini is in Latin is that in medieval Europe, the calendars and historical records were written by monks in Latin. Books were also written in Latin. Everything was written in Latin. This was done to such an extent that we barely have any writing of some early Germanic languages except for a few scraps of a few documents. And the years were measured in A.D. in all those Latin works. B.C. is a term that was invented much later, medieval writers didnt care much for what happened in ancient times and didnt write about it, that only came into fashion during the renaissance and by then due to protestant and other reform movements, more works were being published in people's native languages like English, French, German etc, so they didnt use a Latin term for that.

  5. Its a performance to virtue signal, look at how inclusive im being by using a different word that changes nothing and doing nothing to actually include marginalized people, now i can feel so much better about myself without doing anything!

  8. The reason Christmas is on december 25 is that this is the date of birth assigned to the god Mithras by the Mithras cult which was popular in Roman society before Christianity became the empire's religion, and Christianity borrowed many elements from that, retroactively setting Jesus birthdate at that date despite there not being any historical reason to do so due to lack of evidence. This made the transition into Christianity a bit easier to swallow for all the people who already celebrated on that date anyway.

  9.  @BqgWyy  I detest this stuff so much, its the same as changing "master branch" to "main branch" in github because the word "master" is offensive and meanwhile the companies doing this kind of stuff have no problem at all doing business in countries like Saudi Arabia which has actual modern (you know what, cant write that word on youtube) And the people working for those companies dont have a moral problem with where their paychecque comes from but they do want to play word police. Come on.

  12. I refuse to virtue signal and change words so people wont feel offended, or change words so I can feel better about myself being all inclusive without actually doing anything meaningful. So, BC and AD it is.

  14. That is still an assignment based on the alleged life of Christ just backdated by 10,000 years. If you want to be cool about it you should assign it to the estimated date of the construction of the earliest temples like f.e. Gobliki Tepe instead of just basing it on Christianity anyway

  15.  @K0nna13  But that would not do anything cool or useful and just cost a lot more bytes to store dates in computer systems

  16.  @AS-np3yq  The bible have been edited so many times that its completely ridiculous to assign any historical value to such statements

  17.  @hamasathecold7842  its so well known you can find it on wikipedia with sources linked

  21. USA didnt really become a world power until 1942. And I would say our current era starts in 93, the WWW being created, real start of the digital age/information age, whatever you wanna call it

  22. The date of birth of Christ being assigned to Dec 25th was co-opted by early Roman Christianity from the Mithras cult that was popular at the time.
