No need to worry, because you only need one finger to type and you can use the same finger to collect the daily interest from the bank.

Hello Everyone Happy Thursday.

Hi Lucy,
Now that is one sweet outfit...

As far as I'm concerned all thumbs are fingers but not all fingers are thumbs.

Unless @Evil Surgeon has been at it again...

You're talking about digits.

And I'm pretty sure the answer is that in the modern world we mostly use Arabic numerals, because our math and sciences are built on the groundwork of European and Arab scientists. Who in turn used Arabic numerals because they're really really convenient for doing math with in base 10. Which is the most common everyday system because it's very intuitive when you have 10 fingers.

And when it did become relevant to do math in other systems like hexadecimal, it was easier to use alphabet characters to make up the extras than to create entirely new characters.

There are other numeral systems- e.g. Roman numerals where you have less symbols and represent larger values with positioning- but you're just not likely to run across any of them in regular use.

Hmmm, this is very interesting. I suppose they didn't want to make up new characters. But something is still off. I'm talking about the 3-6-9 rule. Everything in the world is encapsulated in that. Even with hexadecimal. Sure, there's "new characters", but hexadecimal as a name bind base 16 to being within 0-9 still. In terms of speach and our understanding of it. It is base 16 because it is 6+10=16. Hexa (6) and decimal (10). I'm saying even if its base 16 and has different characters that aren't 0-9, it still is ruled and governed by the fact that it is hexadecimal (10+6=16 making it base 16).

I have never heard of opposable fingers, but I do have opposable thumbs.

One is Still All Thumbs.... Sorry flashback lol

Hello Everyone Happy Thursday.

Happy Thursday LucidDream!
Even though I'm a bit late...

Recovering and getting better everyday now! I wish I could spend more time here with my friends <3

During all this process, I've been playing a lot with my Switch... How about you?

Hello friend!
One day I will have a Switch too...

My days are spending learning how to code, wich is cool!

Good morning/afternoon/evening you lewdie how is it going?

Night here! Basically going to sleep soon
How about you?

Good night all

Good Night Ciri!
Tomorrow will be more exciting! I hope

I don't think I'm familiar with the rule you're talking about.

Even with hexadecimal. Sure, there's "new characters", but hexadecimal as a name bind base 16 to being within 0-9 still. In terms of speach and our understanding of it. It is base 16 because it is 6+10=16. Hexa (6) and decimal (10). I'm saying even if its base 16 and has different characters that aren't 0-9, it still is ruled and governed by the fact that it is hexadecimal (10+6=16 making it base 16).

Nothing's off, our current application and notation for hexadecimal (and the word itself) just date back less than a hundred years. It was standardized in a culture where base 10 was already ubiquitous on a subliminal level; it's taught to people who have been counting in tens for their entire life.

This isn't an inherent trait of math in other words, it's an artifact of the anthropological context in which we're using that math. If we came from a long line of civilizations that defaulted to calculating things in base 16 (cause, I dunno, 4 fingers instead of 5), we'd have 16 unique digits and kids in school would get headaches remembering that you had to leave 6 of them out to do computer stuff in base 10.

I have never heard of opposable fingers

Sure you have... we just call that one "thumb"

I don't understand half of the things you guys are discussing...
In my ignorance, I will just call for @HarelM help...

Does this talk has any foundation? Or the lewdites are just talking random things and facts?

You're brain can't hurt, though! You lost your mind years ago. This is just a case of phantom organ syndrome.

That makes more sense.
@Evil Surgeon said something about it, in my last session with him.

Base 10 is so ingrained custom that we call 0 to 9 just digits, but not other symbols. Someone could've came up with custom symbols for going past 9 in base 16 but probably thought a-f is easier for people to remember.

You really shouldn't have agreed to see the specialist @Evil Surgeon recommended...

Like the Romans? With their III and V numbers?
Or I'm getting crazy? Was I crazy already?

Oho no, I'm ready for you this time.
