Comment on What has he done to deserve this?
the_crotch@sh.itjust.works 4 months agoI’m not defending the imperial system. I’m saying the metric system is also stupid and we should have gone with something base12 instead of base10. There’s nothing special or magical about the number 10, our numberical system is only base10 because we have 10 fingers. That’s not much better than a foot being based on the size of the kings boot.

16 is only divisible by 2, 4, and 8. Base12 wins again.
