Decimal time with 10 hours per day and no DST.
The French revolution in 1789 (and 10 years after! ) could have fixed this.

I don't support any further formal metric conversion. Learn fractional math.

Decimal is fractional dingus. Tenths, hundreths, thousandths.
Just nice round numbers.
You have 10 fingers and 10 toes so makes sense to have started counting in base ten.

How long did anyone count on their fingers? A month? Any child goes beyond that quickly. Base ten was a bad idea as there aren't many factors of ten (2, 5) as compared to say 12 (2, 3, 4, 6). Relating to the discussion, it's why seconds and minutes are base 60 (and probably why hours are base 24, 12x2).

Of course any child can, which again is why it's great. Why complicate something unnecessarily?
I was talking about earlier than that though. When humans had the intellect to count/understand numbers. They'd have use the tools they have (hands) as a means to count.

the current system provides many "divisors" that have integer result
there are no other systems that have such high number of integer results with small initial numbers
ever

I'm still pondering this thought we talked about. Would money exist without time?

I'm not sure what would exist without time. Except for everything all at one?

Just a great endless smear of an AI painting with colors, sounds and physics we can't conceive. Isn't that a book or movie? Everything everywhere all at once? I'm working on a postulate

Everything would simultaneously exist and not exist, and it would be meaningless.

You're right, we need to find a new imperial unit, the equivalent of a millisecond
I propose the Muhdick&Shieeet, it's exactly 0.001 second, and it's written exactly like in metric, "ms", but it doesn't sound like a metric unit, at all
So you have 1000 Muhdick&Shieeet for a second, and that's how you finish the imperial system

Read a book that used kilosecs. 1000 seconds being 16.67 minutes. It was kinda fun.
