Base16 would have been great. Base8 would have been workable. Base10 is just crap. It is quite unfortunate how it is embedded in society now.

- timbit42 3y agoBase12 is better than Base8 or Base16 because it's divisible by 2, 3, 4 and 6. Halves, thirds and quarters are handy.
- MBCook 3y agoAs long as we use base 10 numerals, using a base 10 system is going to make things real easy.
- fragmede 3y agowhat about 12, or 60?

- DonHopkins 3y agoA bit longer than that: a couple 1024 years, at least!
- DonHopkins 3y agoMaybe with the use of AI, humans can evolve to having 16 fingers!
- timbit42 3y agoFirst off, base 12 is better than base 16 and there would be no need for AI to evolve humans with 12 fingers: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DRjmRNsPl1M https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DRjmRNsPl1M
