quick question…
with the demise of the Babylonian Empire happening around 550BC, why in the F**** ****** ****** ***** are we still using a base 12 measuring system?
Ever tried to do quick math with 10 vs 12 in your head? notice a tiny difference?
Maybe you just cant get enough of numbers like 11 23/64 because 11.012 bothers you.
Afraid youll only get 10 eggs at the store? what is it.
Why blame the measuring system? If we just switched to a base 12 number system, the notation would be fine.

oh because of people like you.
ok.
perhaps the better question is, why talk to a “awwwkchuallly” rando with 12 fingers and toes when you can just ignore them 🤷
If we really had 12 fingers and toes... we'd actually have 10!
