I just realised that digits translates to Finger in german. And finger also translates to Finger. But you have 10 of the former and 8 of the latter. Funny.

It's as if people used their fingers when starting counting things... How weird

Me casually using base-12 (Mesopotamian) for counting

You mean used their digits? There are only 8 fingers. But then there is also the octal system. And together with a friend you could count in hexadecimal... :)
