Explain in a paragraph why you aren't using Decimal a.k.a. Metric Time instead of Imperial Time (60-based)?

The metric system is for niggers and atheists. Base 12 and 60 is better. Long live slug-inch-second.

Base 6 for arithmetic
Base 60 for daily time
Base 360 for yearly time
It is my ultimate dream to either speed the earth orbit, slow it's rotation, or both such that the earth's year is precisely 360 days

Oh, and rescaled seconds so that the the earth's day is precisely 24 hours, too.

Why is it that on clocks 4 is shown as IIII instead of IV?

>> No.10441975

>>10441970
IIII is the traditional way of writing the Roman numeral for 4, not just in context of clocks

>> No.10441986

>>10441975
Horseshit.

>IIII WAS THE EARLIEST WAY TO WRITE 4
>he original and most ancient pattern for Roman numerals wasn’t the same as what we know today. Earliest models did, in fact, use VIIII for 9 (instead of IX) and IIII for 4 (instead of IV)

wrong

60 based time is not Imperial cuz it acutally has a pattern and makes sense

>> No.10443714

>>10441224
60 is divisible by 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 10
100 is divisible by 2, 4, 5 and 10. Pathetic.
