Base-12 Memes

Ever notice how our entire number system is basically just us counting on our fingers? Humans have 10 digits, so we use base-10. But if aliens evolved with 12 fingers, they'd probably think our decimal system is as primitive as we find Roman numerals! Base-12 (duodecimal) would actually be mathematically superior—it's divisible by 2, 3, 4, and 6! Meanwhile, we're stuck with a system where dividing by 3 gives us those annoying repeating decimals. The extraterrestrial mathematicians are probably laughing at us right now. So next time you struggle with fractions, remember: it's not your fault—you're just two fingers short of a better numbering system!
