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.
The base 12 system was real popular in Sumeria.
So your new system is akshualy the oldest.
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.
Same. Until then, I use both.
