Hi, I think in metric units, so almost everything is some form of a power of 10, like a kilogram is a 1000 grams, etc.
Sometimes I will think of an hour and half as 150 minutes before remembering that it is 90 minutes.
Does something similar happen to imperial units users? Because as far as I understand you don’t have obvious patterns that would cause you to make these mistakes, right?
I’d still call it hours minutes and seconds since it’s the same level subdivision,
It’d follow this progression, 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z, part of the reason I like base 36 counting is because of just how many cool things just happen to come together with it, and the fact that the Alphanumeric set perfectly fits into it is one, another one I like is that “10” is a square that is also the product of two other squares.
But back to specifics, an “hour” is 40 present minutes, a “minute” is 66 and 2/3rds of a second, and a “second” is 1.85185… seconds, or 1 and 23/27ths of a second.
If I had it my way this would be paired with the Sym454 calendar to ultra-regularize everything
Yeah, I screwed up saying 1-12, I meant 0-9 but got mixed up while thinking about the next bit!
