minus-squareWanderer@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0arrow-down1·edit-21 年前Can we all use base 12? It will be a shower of shit for like 50 years but then it will be marginally better for pretty much everyone.
minus-squareted@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·1 年前42* years. Centuries are now 84 years. We are living in the 19th century! I rate this idea 12/12.
minus-squarelowleveldata@programming.devlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·1 年前50 years? I bet we couldn’t even agree on how to write “11” & “12” on such short notice. (See: date format, encoding, etc)
minus-squareexocrinous@startrek.websitelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·edit-21 年前Well we write 12 like this: 10 It’s easy
minus-squareKhrux@ttrpg.networklinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·1 年前Some people argue that it would be harder to count on your fingers but we could just surgically give everyone more?
minus-squareWanderer@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·1 年前There are 12 sections on your fingers (excluding your thumb) you then use your thumb to count to 12 on one hand. Two hands can allow you to count to 24. Which is way higher than 10. Base 12 is better!
