    Can we all use base 12?

    It will be a shower of shit for like 50 years but then it will be marginally better for pretty much everyone.

      42* years. Centuries are now 84 years. We are living in the 19th century! I rate this idea 12/12.

        I rate it A/10, it’s a really efficient numbering system but I personally will have a really hard time adjusting

      50 years? We can’t even switch to metric.

        Every civilised country on earth uses metric.

        Only the really shitty ones use imperial. Imperial is just stupid (unless you count in base 12 ironically)

      That’s Acadian, right? It was originally based on the number of easy to count bones in your fingers (12-24)
