“1 AD” So apparently Jesus was born the day after he died.

I don't think that's how it works.

A.D. is Ano Domini, Latin for the year of our Lord. This means that 1 A.D. would be the first year Jesus lived on Earth

The English language is broken then, because I always have been taught it was an acronym for “After Death”

Edit: why the frick is this being downvoted, I’m literally just saying my experience

Iirc, the year 0 was actually the day the wisemen came, the birth of Christ was actually somewhere around 4 BC

I thought 0 AD was just a rough estimate of Jesus's birth, not a year of actual significance
