Can we all use base 12?

It will be a shower of shit for like 50 years but then it will be marginally better for pretty much everyone.

50 years? We can't even switch to metric.

Every civilised country on earth uses metric.

Only the really shitty ones use imperial. Imperial is just stupid (unless you count in base 12 ironically)
