Alright, everyone post your opinions.
I think Base 12 is superior to Base 10 for human use.
We could get most of the way to stopping climate change by just not eating meat.
Also, I liked Mass Effect 3 more than 1 or 2.
I never understood base 12 arguments. If you're finding it more useful to count in sets of 12, nothing about the base 10 system stops you. Base just refers to the number of symbols used, it doesn't change any of the mathematics.
...i use base 12 every day; it's fantastically useful and foundational to civilisation for good reason...
I want 6 fingers per hand if I have to wake up and deal with that₁₂ kinda bullshit
So you actually count by segments of the finger, using your thumb as a tapper. Crook your index finger and look at it - three segments, right? (At least for most people) The segment nearest your hand is 1, middle is 2, end is 3. Middle finger is 4, 5, 6, etc. So you can count up to 12 on four fingers.
Then you use your non-dominant hand to mark dozens. Count to 12 on your main hand, raise on finger on your second hand, repeat. So you can actually count to 60 just on your hands.
I agree with the first one, the second one is factually incorrect (agriculture is only 10% of human CO2 emissions even in the meat-hungry US), and I have no clue what Mass Effect is so I can't comment on the last one.
It ain’t the emissions, it's the land use. About 40% of the USA's land is used for animal agriculture. Another 8% is for literally all the other crops. Stop eating meat, and we could return about a third of the land in the US to nature, or other uses. That's a lot of carbon capture / solar power plants etc.
That's a good point, though there's a significant financial barrier to building renewable infrastructure that doesn't go away just because land is available.
