Every number system is base 10.

Binary is base 1+1.
Ternary is base 2+1.
Octal is base 7+1.
Decimal is base 9+1.
Duodecimal is base B+1.
Hexadecimal is base F+1.

Excuse me but 1+1=2 not 10. Binary is base 2. Check mate.

Try explain that to non binary people. They won't get it

The joke "there are 10 kinds of people in the world" exists for a reason.

There are 2 kinds of people in the world : Those who can extrapolate from incomplete data

Extrapolate is a fancy word for pulling something out of ones ass.

That's not true. In university we did some base-32 calculations just for "fun". We had to use letters of the alphabet for digits after 9, but that's no different from what people are used to with hexadecimal numbers.

I was joking. Non binary people have nothing to do with binary numbers. It was a pun. If you are non binary and took that as an insult, I'm very sorry

[–] Huschke@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

Oh my bad. I didn't catch that. 😓
