Base 12 is way more logical than base 10, I bet aliens would think we're stupid for counting in base 10 just because we have 10 fingers, my opinion on this is infallible fight me

12 is more divisible than 10. 10 can only be cut into 5's and 2's, 12 has 2, 3, 4, and 6.

Similar reason why 360 deg is a full circle and time is kept in 12s and 60s.
