And now we know Iki's cyber-AIM handle. Deep lore.
Weekdays are referred to by number, monday = Oneday, tuesday = Twoday, Thirday, Fourday, Fivday, Sixday, Sevday. Renamed to remove any religious implications. A month is stll a month, and a week still a week. Technically a year on ZAM must be a little shorter as the planet spins faster/is smaller than earth, but i refuse to convert that every time. So when i say Iki is 22 years old i mean earth years. In ZAM years she would be “older”. There's also the standardized temporal/senescence years which would be based on original earth years anyway i imagine. Gotta have some intergalactic standard.
Incidentally, had to re-make a lot of songs via AI respec for the weekday renaming.
Oneday you can fall apart
Twoday, thirday, break my heart
Fourday doesn't even start
It's Fivday, i'm in love

Not to mention the decimal-numbers-based French Revolutionary Calendar with its ten-day week (and ten hour-days with 100 minutes for every hour). Days were called first day to tenth day and there were different names for months, too, to get rid of anything reminiscent of the Christian calendar. It didn't last long, though, probably because it was a little too complicated and ideology-driven to be practical.

And also, the Romans had a similar way to count their (original 8 day long) week, but using letters of the alphabeth: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nundinae so they had A-day, B-day etc.

Love the song! By the way a large part of the world counts Monday as the first day of the week, but many other (including the USA) use Sunday as the first day ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Week ).
