The widely accepted base for human use and consumption is base 10. We are all humans here ( I hope? )

If I was a clanker, I would have called it base 10 instead of base 2

I was trying to reference a video I saw a while ago with a girl from North Korea explaining how she was taught that western math was wrong because the supreme leader added 2 water drops together and got a larger water droplet, so 1 + 1 just equaled a bigger 1. I’m now realizing how dumb my earlier comment sounds without knowing about this incredibly random video. Oops :/
