I just had the ecstatic realization that, because of the Before/After First Contact date system in one of my sci-fi universes, June 9th of the year 2503 is, to them, 6/9/420 APC. I dunno about y’all, but I’m willing to bet that humans absolutely will not have outgrown the sacred numerology of The Weed Number and The Sex Number by the 26th century. there will be a hedonistic holiday across known space...

04:25 Common Fleet Time, 06.09.420 APC

USSC Aixsaio-Jien Ship Log, Capt. Exiuen Ybnekh recording. Was awoken by a chorus of impossibly loud "NICE!" emanating from every human aboard the ship at exactly 04:20 hours. Ordinarily this time is within normal hibernation cycle span for humans. Brief communication with other vessels and stations across the Coalition fleet indicate identical experiences regardless of location. This is entirely unprecedented, and will be investigated. Punishment may be issued accordingly, if necessary.

04:41 Common Fleet Time, 06.09.420 APC

Addendum Log: Upon investigation, human crew members sheepishly explained that 04:20 hours is regarded as a sort of sacred time for the human species, particularly on this day. Was subsequently invited to partake in human recreational herb inhalation. Invitation... declined.
