#feel free to respond to this with some arguments about why octal's good lol

[sewi-li-suwi]

for real though, what's good about base 6? besides that its also called seximal, which is a little funny

i just like having highly divisible bases lol

being able to tell at a glance if a number is a multiple of 3 is nice, which i don't believe octal has the luxury of. i could talk about how seximal's superior to decimal, in that six has a higher percentage of factors below it than ten, or about how there are tricks for telling if numbers are a multiple of 2, 3, 4, 5, or 10 (6).

but honestly this is ignoring the multiple of numbers higher than six - y'know, 11 (seven), 12 (eight), 13 (nine), 14 (ten), 15 (eleven), 20 (dozen) that ppl generally make fun of base ten for being bad at.

so, idk. i just find it fun. here's a seximal multiplication table. here's an octal multiplication table. compare the two and see which one you prefer, ig!
