It's all so arbitrary is funny. People get so passionate, but then I'll bring up,"Why aren't we using Swatch Time?" Or, why don't we have 13 months of exactly 28 days (With a bonus vacation day or two)?

They'll usually fall back on what people are used to or tradition or something that just supports staying on imperial measurements. To be clear, I don't give a shit what measurement system is used. It's not like it takes a big brain to figure out what is going on when you travel.

This can go even further. Why aren't we using base 12 numbers, which can be divided much more conveniently?

I remember watching the Numberphile video on base 12 a few years ago. I thought it was pretty interesting.
