how is it 2024 next week. that’s not even a real year that’s a caption on an establishing shot in a sci-fi story.

screen shot of an electronic calendar from the season 3 episode Past Tense of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. The calendar reads: Today: Friday Date: 8/30/24 and lists the temperature as 15 degrees Celsius ALT

Star Trek writers in 1994 writing about a dystopian future 30 years later somehow extremely optimistic about the US switching to metric.

maybe they’re SO optimistic about us switching to metric they think we’ll have Metric Time

headcanon that Metric Time starts in the year 2050 and counts from zero so 2024 is actually the year 4074 by our time system

(the Irish Reunification takes place long after first contact. it will involve a klingon pest control crew and it will be called The Troubles with Tribbles)
