sometimes when i remember the most widely used base is selected due to the number of fingers on both human hands rather than the factorability of the base I get so sad.

And it isn't even the right number for the number of fingers on the human hand, which is annoying! cause you can store up to 10 on your fingers, then whatever contingency is being used for advancing beyond your base should kick in, so it should be base 11.

aughhhhh

One does wonder what math would be like if we had eight fingers.

But 11 is a terrible base. 1/2 is an infinite decimal, is that what you want? Also if you assign different fingers different values you can store up to 1024, which is a bit large, but up to 31 on one hand, for base 32. Though base 16 is much nicer in lots of ways, including counting on your hand when you account for the fact that the pinky is kinda hard to manipulate independent of other fingers.
