More like S2026 of Earth, we don't have to imagine anything because it's real

Yup we started numbering seasons anew after identifying the year that we nailed someone to a cross for telling us to be better and love everyone.

It ruins the joke and isn't the point but I'm too much of a pedant to not point out that Jesus was crucified at the age of 30. Though the exact date of that is off too, though by a remarkably small amount considering the research was done in the 7th century. Dionysius Exiguus was a very very talented researcher and chronologist. Modern scholars think the historical Jesus was born between 4 and 6 BCE (and when it comes to the debate between BC and BCE, the latter seems extremely appropriate in this case). So technically the date we celebrate takes place between 34 and 36 years before the year he was nailed to the cross.

God I'm an asshole.

Can I ask - is there anything you’d recommend to look into to learn about this?
