@throwsbooks@lemmy.worldtoShowerthoughts@lemmy.world•Why do we use base 60 for time and base 10 for everything else. Why has no one decided to integrate it.

12 and 60 divide nicely. A quarter of a 12-hour clock is 3 hours, but in decimal time it’d be 2.5 hours. A third is 4 hours in base 12, but some gross 3.33 repeating in decimal.

I just don’t like it.
