The Rules
Posts must be:

- ...their original headlines, that...
- ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”
Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

there's a base n joke somewhere in there
That means something totally different in Louisiana than you intended...
There are 10 types of people in the world: those who understand binary, and those who don’t.
@EvilBit @lurch ... and those who didn't see a trinary joke coming.
And those that didn't see a quaternary joke coming
And those that didn't see a quinary joke coming

If you say base "10", what does that mean? You'd have to know the base that "10" was meant to be in. It could be binary, octal, decimal, hexadecimal, any number. It does not even need to be a natural number, you can use negative numbers, fractional numbers, negative fractional numbers, irrational numbers, even complex numbers as a base.
Base 10 does mean nothing and everything.
There's also a Spinal Tap joke.
