Each finger is divided into 3 parts, tip, middle and base. You use your thumb on the same hand to count the finger part by touching it. Index tip is 1, middle finger tip is 4, ring middle is 8, pinkie base is 12.

So using just one hand, you could keep count of say, bags of wheat that you’re handing to your customers with the other hand.

Now bring your other hand into play, and you curl one finger into your fist each time you reach 12 on the other hand. 4 fingers plus the thumb is 5, 5*12 is 60.

In theory you could go higher using finger segments on both hands, but the Babylonians liked the number 60, it had a lot of factors. Divides without remainders by 2, 3, 4 5, 6, 10, 12. That’s where we get 12 hour clocks from. 6*60=360, we get degrees of a circle. I could go on. 60 is just a really great number.

Eye of Horus fractions are another really cool way to represent mathematical concepts in a single compact glyph.

Or asking questions.

You guys stole the Venezuelan president, but did you have to steal the Venezuelan government tactics too?

Satire is now classified as domestic terrorism.

Any other 99 second homies up in here?

Fun fact you can count to 12 on one hand and 60 on two hands,bits how the Babylonians traded.

To make DDR5 memory, you just tape a DDR2 module to a DDR3 module

Ok and what about your hair?

They just don’t put black borders on memes like they used to. Back in my day, memes were well dressed, refined.

“Mum would have me believe I’m 75% Scottish but it says here I’m black as the night sky!”

What about twins?

I have 256GB of RAM. Not all in the same machine of course. Much of it not in a machine at all.

How do you do, fellow billionaires?

Why is it only Ask Historians and never Ask Herstorians?

Whatever the opposite of reverse osmosis is.

They are banking on the fact that you’ll be on a bus to SECOT before your charges get dropped for being unconstitutional. By then it doesn’t matter.

Be a shame if the high-flow water sprinklers came on automatically and got them all wet with freezing water.

Do you remember which ship class you mained?

Mine was the gladiator, with a minelayer loadout. Loved to drop in on my team during a fighting retreat and just be a bullet-sponge wall of firepower and mines so they could regroup, heal up, and counterattack.

Paladin was my secondary preferred class.

Just use Gflghtdhh instead.
