minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink19•1 year ago12 is a far superior number to 10. It is sacrilege that we started using 10 instead of 12.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink7•1 year agoPeople already have problems comprehending orders of magnitude with base 10. At base 12 things would only be worse. If anything we should go binary to better understand the difference between a billion and a million. 🥸
