Epochs? You don't generally need to deal with them directly unless you really want to (e.g. sorting datestamps chronologically without the overhead of having to convert them to another calendar format) and programming languages usually provide functions for dealing with date and time in human readable form.

Makes even more sense when used in combination with time, as the units go from largest to smallest: YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS.

Days until christmas/lunar month/Tibetan year (60 year cycles starting from 1024). It's a little more complicated, but I can use element + animal icons on the year picker dropdown

That would probably be better than my Mayan calendar approach, which stopped working sometime around 2012.
