10 hour clock with 100 minutes.

2019-09-08 14:34:21 UTC  

I use 24 hour format

2019-09-08 14:34:22 UTC  

Much better.

2019-09-08 14:34:39 UTC  

10 hour with 100 minutes per hour

2019-09-08 14:34:54 UTC  

100 does not fare as well with subdivisions

2019-09-08 14:35:07 UTC  

33.33333333333 minutes is a third

2019-09-08 14:35:13 UTC  

It'd work fine.

2019-09-08 14:35:26 UTC  

Why would we use a third of an hour.

2019-09-08 14:35:36 UTC  

There is a good reason 12 and 60 were chosen and never got metrified

2019-09-08 14:35:42 UTC  

Convenience

2019-09-08 14:35:49 UTC  

There's not good reason.

2019-09-08 14:36:10 UTC  

Just too many clocks and small brains too dependent on clocks.

2019-09-08 14:36:23 UTC  

Because a thirsd of an hour is an amount that is commonly happening

2019-09-08 14:36:42 UTC  

a lot of things are hppening in 20 minutes

2019-09-08 14:37:03 UTC  

Look

2019-09-08 14:37:41 UTC  

Yes because we use thirds because it is a weird system

2019-09-08 14:37:57 UTC  

But if we switched to ten hours hundred minutes hold on.

2019-09-08 14:38:21 UTC  

@NinjaQuick You can use the swiss swatch time if you want

2019-09-08 14:38:53 UTC  

@NinjaQuick nothing is weird about thirds. You are arguing from a position "it is good because I grew up with it"§

>Who?

2019-09-08 14:39:24 UTC  

This is the same argument the yarn weavers were REEEEing about when the weving machine was introduced

2019-09-08 14:39:44 UTC  

No

2019-09-08 14:39:58 UTC  

Just because you are used to a thing, does not mean it is the most efficient/best

2019-09-08 14:40:01 UTC  

I'm arguing from a position of time is autistic.

2019-09-08 14:40:07 UTC  

And needs to be reformed.

2019-09-08 14:40:21 UTC  

Just because you don't understand it?

2019-09-08 14:40:29 UTC  

It's better to divide all things neatly into tens.

2019-09-08 14:40:40 UTC  

>> small brain can't grasp base 12

2019-09-08 14:41:07 UTC  

Base 12 is for small brained faggots who can't fathom order and supreme truth.

2019-09-08 14:41:39 UTC  

10: 1/2 = 5, 1/4 = 2.5, 1/3 = 3.333

2019-09-08 14:42:04 UTC  

12: 1/2 = 6, 1/4 = 3, 1/3 = 4

2019-09-08 14:42:15 UTC  

Whole numbers

2019-09-08 14:42:20 UTC  

Easy and simple

2019-09-08 14:42:34 UTC  

Faster on-the-fly computing

2019-09-08 14:43:23 UTC  

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 Ⅹ Ɛ 0

2019-09-08 14:44:40 UTC  

Though duodecimal "1" contains 12 units, hence it probably should use an entirely different looking set of characters, which is still close enough to the decimal set

2019-09-08 14:44:47 UTC  

OK what's 1/10 12

2019-09-08 14:44:58 UTC  

holy shit you are all fucking nerds

2019-09-08 14:45:01 UTC  

@ManAnimal What's the best base to use for time?
