Dozenal, or base twelve, is a way to count that uses twelve digits instead of ten. A lot of people around the world prefer it over decimal for quite a number of reasons. This is a community for those people. 1. Be respectful, considerate, and do not support any kind of bigotry. Transmisia, homomisia, ableism, pluralmisia, triggered “”““jokes””“”, slurs and the like are not allowed. 2. Keep the safety of the community. Do not threaten any person or group of people and stay away from heated debates and agressivity. 3. Don’t post explicit NSFW content of any kind.
A community for people who enjoy using base twelve and prefer it over base ten
I hate to break the news to you, but a “dozen” is defined as a “group of 12” which is also a reference to Base-10. You might need to come up with a new word that doesn’t reference Base-10.
The inherent problem with switching to Base-12 is that we only have 10 fingers. If you switch to Base-12, 90% of the Earths population is going to be too stupid to count to 12. If we weren’t wearing shoes, I think people could figure out how to count to 20, but Base-20 would not have as many advantages as Base-12.
The proper term for Base-12 is Duodecimal.
The problem with “duodecimal” is that it’s in base ten, which makes it unfitting for a community centered around replacing base ten
