The thing is: french did have that option on the table - the whole trade was in base 12
Pounds (weight), feet, coin values and volumes were already measured in base 12
Base 10 was a thing that aristocracy liked because **10 fucking fingers argument** and greeks
Or
Carpenters could change to base 10
Instead of fucking with inches.
Indunno
Fucking faggots
Imperial system needs to die
I wasn't talking about it either
Base 10 is infinitely superiour
12 hour clock vs 24 hour clock
Imperial system is base what-the-fuck
Not base 12
10 hour clock with 100 minutes.
I use 24 hour format
Much better.
10 hour with 100 minutes per hour
100 does not fare as well with subdivisions
33.33333333333 minutes is a third
It'd work fine.
Why would we use a third of an hour.
Convenience
There's not good reason.
Just too many clocks and small brains too dependent on clocks.
Because a thirsd of an hour is an amount that is commonly happening
a lot of things are hppening in 20 minutes
Look
Yes because we use thirds because it is a weird system
But if we switched to ten hours hundred minutes hold on.
@NinjaQuick You can use the swiss swatch time if you want
@NinjaQuick nothing is weird about thirds. You are arguing from a position "it is good because I grew up with it"ยง
>Who?
This is the same argument the yarn weavers were REEEEing about when the weving machine was introduced
No
Just because you are used to a thing, does not mean it is the most efficient/best
I'm arguing from a position of time is autistic.
And needs to be reformed.
Just because you don't understand it?
It's better to divide all things neatly into tens.
