Every base is base 10 - Lemmy.World

Can we all use base 12?

It will be a shower if shit for like 50 years but then it will be better for pretty much everyone.

Why base 12 though? Base 16 is even better. And base 60 is even better than that!
Common denominators. You can divide base 12 into half, thirds, fourths, and sixths and still use integers. I find thirds to be particularly useful, so base 16 is out. Base 60 can do it, but that’s getting unweildly.
Can’t do base 12 on fingers. I prefer base 8.

Just add left arm, right arm to it or, if you’re a guy nose and dick.

Certainly, especially the male version, it would make the visual act of counting far more funny to watch.

I think I’m starting to warm up to the whole base 12 idea…
