JESUS CHRIST IT'S ONE POST PER SEVEN GET TO DA CHOPPA

[Madame Adequate]

We use a base 10 system because there are 10 numerals. Duh.

There are infinite numerals. And even if numerals just meant 0-9, it would work the other direction.

Because Abraham was like "10 Lol"

Good answer.

I believe it is based upon the decimation system a particulary nasty option that used to be used on surrendering military units where to further supress the men and deject them they'd be forced to line up and every 10th man would be unceremoniously killed there and then.. Thats where the term Decimate comes from (it was the romans who started this act and Decimate is pure latin) Notice when we demolish something or someone we often say Decimate, it's secretly a CK plot to bash every 10th poster on the head with a platypus until they are dead...Psychotic told me of it.

Better answer.

Because when 7 ate 9, only 10 stood up to his tyranny and put a stop to the foolishness. That is why 10 is the admiral of the awesome ship and the epic ship. Admiral 10.

Best answer. I love you.
