Actual poster from 1917 that made me laugh. A lot.

Also, those motherfuckers are measuring the weight of those balls in kilograms, aren’t they?

    Lol this thread got spicy. Today I learned base 12 is actually superior to base 10 in a myriad of ways.

    It seems the most reasonable people in this thread are arguing for a new system, not one or the other. I concur with this thought.

    So… Fuck the imperial AND metric system. I’m team new system.

      Base twelve would be great if we went all-in, as in new symbols for single digit representation of ten and eleven, then 10 would mean twelve. Having a base that’s divisible by several primes is handy.
