for counting on your hands base 2 is actually just obviously the best one, it’s really easy to do once you get the hang of how base 2 works and it lets you count to fuckin 31 on a single hand and 1023 on two hands, with barely any effort at all!
So you actually count by segments of the finger, using your thumb as a tapper. Crook your index finger and look at it - three segments, right? (At least for most people) The segment nearest your hand is 1, middle is 2, end is 3. Middle finger is 4, 5, 6, etc. So you can count up to 12 on four fingers.
Then you use your non-dominant hand to mark dozens. Count to 12 on your main hand, raise on finger on your second hand, repeat. So you can actually count to 60 just on your hands.
I want 6 fingers per hand if I have to wake up and deal with that₁₂ kinda bullshit
