Well yeah, that’s why we’re still telling time in Babylonian standard base 60. Also you can count to 60 on your fingers if you use finger segments. Really base 10 is some stupid shit. Honestly.
For anyone wondering how to count to 60 on your hands: 12 segments on your fingers, 2 on your thumb and your palm makes 15 per side of each hand. Repeat for each side of each hand

Base 10 any day over:
“What wrench did you need? 3/8?
How far away was it? 200yds?
How much material did you want to take off? 10-thou?”
lol (help me)
Thou? I smell a machinist.
Hi!
I was briefly a machinist (for a couple years) but then I realized it was not a good career path. Sucks because machining is super cool.
Using base 2 you can count to 1024 without using finger segments.
