    and i am always in favor of counting with fingers. we were given them for a reason, might as well make the most of them. counting is hard enough as it is

        Just be sure to do it in binary. You gotta squeeze all of the value out of those phalanges.

          That’s impossible, because it would require tracking each digit at once. Counting in binary is kind of possible with fingers, but not with phalanges.

            Kind of? It’s quite possible and easy. I spent an afternoon counting syllables to create shitty poetry, and my fingers started counting on their own. Now I can count to 31 on 1 hand and it’s surprisingly useful.
