BastingChemina@slrpnk.net 8 months agoYou forgot decimal time!
We should stop this nonsense of having 24 hours a day, 60 minutes per hours, 60 seconds per minutes, 1000 ms per seconds.
Instead we switch to switch to decimal time: 10 hours a day, 100 minutes per hours and 100 second per minutes.

Or just switch to using base 12
BastingChemina@slrpnk.net 8 months ago
Why not a base 16 then ?

12 is a superior highly composite number, which means it’s easier to divide without running into fractions or decimals.

Interesting, I did not knew the concept

That would require redefining the second or no longer linking the day with the rotation of the Earth.

12 divides nicer and evener than 10. If only evolution had given us two extra fingers we’d use base twelve numbers and everything would be better.

Some cultures do/did count to 12 on their fingers using their thumb as a pointer and counting the spaces between their knuckles. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duodecimal#Origin
