I feel that this is what we should be using instead of the current illogical time system.

    My favorite system like this is the Oksapmin counting system. They use a base 27 system. It’s based upon counting upper body parts.

      The Babylons had a great counting system using the segments of their fingers

      Thought I prefer the binary counting system

        So, like, I understand the binary one, I see what you did there and all. But a system where ☝️ means “2” is just wrong.

        Also, what number is the shocker?
