Tbh frenchies fucked it up with decimal system

2019-09-08 14:20:44 UTC  

They should have adopted a duodecimal system (base 12)

2019-09-08 14:20:52 UTC  

Base 10 is best ;3

2019-09-08 14:21:11 UTC  

It has no consequences on math, but is more convenient in everyday and jives better with timekeeping

2019-09-08 14:21:28 UTC  

12 has more dividers than 10

2019-09-08 14:22:05 UTC  

Base 10 is just easier

2019-09-08 14:22:08 UTC  

Just tell me the time

2019-09-08 14:22:09 UTC  

Sorted.

2019-09-08 14:22:10 UTC  

Done.

2019-09-08 14:22:30 UTC  

I bet in the sear 2022 they will add "female saving time" that will move the clock oner hour forward whenever a wamen is late

2019-09-08 14:25:52 UTC  

Base 12 ew

2019-09-08 14:26:02 UTC  

base 10 is not easier

2019-09-08 14:26:08 UTC  

That's a fallacy

2019-09-08 14:26:20 UTC  

Is to me

2019-09-08 14:26:40 UTC  

>Caesar went into civil war

2019-09-08 14:26:41 UTC  

oof

2019-09-08 14:26:49 UTC  

1 10 100 is better than 1 12 144 tbh

2019-09-08 14:26:55 UTC  

You'd have same "eww" opinion of base 10 if base 12 would be the one you have been taught from childhood

2019-09-08 14:27:03 UTC  

Probably

2019-09-08 14:27:08 UTC  

This is an argument from familiarity

2019-09-08 14:27:16 UTC  

Base 4 now

2019-09-08 14:27:26 UTC  

Yeah don't change it its fine as is

2019-09-08 14:27:32 UTC  

Base 12 can be divided into thirds more conveniently

2019-09-08 14:28:00 UTC  

So as far as everyday use, it would be great for carpenters and other people that work with tools

2019-09-08 14:30:18 UTC  

But alas, we have started with 10

2019-09-08 14:30:24 UTC  

I blame french

2019-09-08 14:30:30 UTC  

Sacre bleu

2019-09-08 14:32:59 UTC  

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

2019-09-08 14:33:03 UTC  

Or

2019-09-08 14:33:11 UTC  

Carpenters could change to base 10

2019-09-08 14:33:16 UTC  

Instead of fucking with inches.

2019-09-08 14:33:20 UTC  

Indunno

2019-09-08 14:33:24 UTC  

Fucking faggots

2019-09-08 14:33:37 UTC  

Imperial system needs to die

2019-09-08 14:33:51 UTC  

I wasn't talking about it either

2019-09-08 14:33:56 UTC  

Base 10 is infinitely superiour

2019-09-08 14:34:00 UTC  

12 hour clock vs 24 hour clock

2019-09-08 14:34:03 UTC  

Imperial system is base what-the-fuck

2019-09-08 14:34:07 UTC  

Not base 12

2019-09-08 14:34:18 UTC  

10 hour clock with 100 minutes.

2019-09-08 14:34:21 UTC  

I use 24 hour format
