You are wrong. It is easier to adjust earth rotation around its own axis, changing day duration, so that there are exactly 365 days in a year. Well, maybe 256 is better.
The 3 Gorges Dam in China slowed the Earth’s rotation by .06 microseconds per day due to the amount of water moved altering the Earth’s moment of inertia
And the fun part about orbital mechanics is you get that faster orbit by decelerating the earth. Orbital mechanics are a little ironic, don’t ya think?
The only real solution is to use rockets to nudge the Earth into a slightly faster orbit so it can be an even 365.

360
Easier to calculate with years AND longer days? Take my money, I’m in
Actually, it’s cheaper to just move water around. China did it, so can the rest of the world.
I’m intrigued by your comment, what are you referencing?
edit: thanks for the answers! fascinating

My bad, added a link.
Some weird grammar in that article. I thought it was AI at first.
How many bodies does she have?
Fixed it.
Those blade skates can kill a couple dozen people before they dull out. I’d say 69.
It’s the classic three body problem.
