Comment on You can count past 1,000 on your fingers by using binary, instead of just 10
chonglibloodsport@lemmy.world 1 day agoAhh if I do that it’s a really uncomfortable stretch feeling on the back of my hand!
I don’t have any issues with counting in binary though. If my fingers could cooperate I could do it. Adding in binary is easy enough too.

See, I don’t trust myself to keep track of which digit is 8 vs 16 vs 32, so I end up recalculating to double check my work even though I usually have it right the first time.
I’m sure if I practiced it more I’d have it down cold, but it’s just how my OCD brain works

Yeah, and ultimately it’s rather silly to practice because it’s not that practical anyway, especially when everyone has a calculator on their phone.
