Base 10 feels so natural and normal for numbers to be because that's what I was taught as a kid so reading about Base 20 is wild, like I just can't comprehend the shit
On a very basic level I do get it but then you show me "100" and tell me that that doesn't mean one hundred, it means another, secret number and I just can't process that
@coriander *looks at english units and measures* none of these motherfuckers are base twenty
@coriander degrees minutes seconds are definitely base 60
things like a yard being three feet of twelve inches of sixteen sixteenths of an inch are definitely more complicated
i think technically the term there might be “mixed base”?
