12 is also a pleasing number in how many ways it can be evenly divided into equal groups.

Not suuper useful for time though, honestly

Would be nicer if we had an overall base-12 number system

If we had a base 10 hour system, how would you split it into three shifts?

[–] Aux@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

You just divide 10 by 3. That's elementary school math.

6 hours 40 minutes?
7 hours with a 20 minute lunch?
I dunno, we'd make it work lol
