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? I bet we couldn't even agree on how to write "11" & "12" on such short notice. (See: date format, encoding, etc)

Well we write 12 like this: 10

It's easy
