I was gonna make a comment about how it’s only base 60 up to a certain point because I was going to make a comment about how it’s only base 60 math, but since you can only go up to 99 minutes, it is just base 60 math but formatted in base 10 because fuck us I guess.
Whoever invented how we measure time was an asshole

it’s clunky for sure. at least in microwave math all the place values are essentially interchangeable (you can easily convert
nseconds ton/60minutes,n/3600hours, etc.) It gets weirder if you have place values that are not interchangeable, like if you have ann+_i_nplace.
