Why ten? Why does everything need to be based on ten? Why not eight? Or sixteen? Or even twelve? The metric system and decimal base are based on the number ten. Why? Is it because of our fingers? Who the fuck counts on their fingers? What am I a fuckin child? Ten isn't useful. It's pathetic. Now the babylonians used a base 60 number system. We should have kept that. Equally divisible by twelve different numbers, and I'm pretty sure we could have thought of 60 different numerical symbols. Though maybe it's too large of a number. Base sixteen could be even better, being a factor of two and all. Would probably be more compatible with all our modern tech as well.

It pisses me off that this is what my mind gets upset about. Can't change a damn thing about it. Everyone just loves their metric system. I wish we could just make a new number system.
