Base 12 or base 8 would make me so happy.

But if could be worse. Imagine a universe where some idiot established base 7 or base 13.

Base prime sounds kinda cool though

[-] zqps@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago

True. It does sound cool for the same reason it would be a total nightmare to use.

A base prime would quiet my OCD ๐Ÿ˜“

It gets triggered by divisors?

I almost would have expected the opposite. Though I get that you can't control it in any way.

For all the sense it makes... If it can be divided into a non prime. it is bad. Bad time, bad day, bad week, bad month, bad year... If I'm anxious it's temperature and number of steps I took to arrive at my last destination

im convinced that base 8, or octal, as it's known in cs was developed specifically for the purposes of computationally derived terrorism.

Just use binary, it's better. If you really care, just use hex.
