The Martian smartwatch is full of new features and lasts for days

Is this a good time to pitch my idea of slightly shortening the second, so that there are exactly 100,000 seconds in a day? (Because who the hell picked 86,400? That makes no sense!)

We could have 100 seconds in a minute, 100 minutes in an hour, and 10 hours in a day. Boom.

Edit: We would also change “one Mississippi, two Mississippi. . .”, when counting aloud, to "one Kentucky, two Kentucky. . . "
