I have 1010 fingers

Why9 ,

Humans have 10 thumbs though…

TenderfootGungi ,

We taught our daughter to count starting at zero. Her kindergarten teacher was not amused.

fibojoly ,

It is the way!

soggy_kitty , (edited )

Programming joke aside, that is a categorically incorrect way to teach someone how to count.

In respect to the English language asking someone at the bar to pour you zero beers should not yield any passing of drinks.

So for your kins sake, I hope you did not do that.

BorgDrone ,

Counting starts at one, indexing starts at zero.

I didn’t want to spoil their fun, but I’m glad you did. That kid’s going to experience an embarassing moment of parental disillusionment the first time they try to be clever with a halfway competent math teacher.

I mean, not everyone has 10 fingers, so the average is slightly less than 10. Coerce to an integer and you get 9.

Deckweiss , (edited )

But some people have more than 5 fingers per hand (Polydactyly, afaik the most per hand was 8) so it balances out. /s

SilverCode ,

Yeah but then Pterodactyls bring that number back down again

anzo ,

Wings are their hands tho

beeb ,

On average, a person contains slightly more than one skeleton.

On average, a person has slightly less than two legs.

tias ,

I mean there are 10 fingers, but numbered 0-9.

PeriodicallyPedantic ,

Starting the off-by-1 errors at an early age 😌

idefix OP ,

Is that why he’s always pushing the boundaries to test my limits?

Have you had your son tested? He may be an AI.

First things first: have you counted his fingers, before moving on to anything else?

fishbone ,

Definitely not an AI. An AI would say humans have 9 fingers on each hand, for a total of 47 fingers.

Ookami38 ,

So just for clarification, when was your son born?

BeatTakeshi ,
@BeatTakeshi@lemmy.world avatar

Don’t we have 1010 fingers though, 101 on each hand?

bob_lemon ,

It’s just A finger, really

walthervonstolzing ,
@walthervonstolzing@lemmy.ml avatar

Yeah, I mean all vertebrates are A digit creatures in their front set of limbs.

some_guy ,

Eight fingers and two thumbs for ten digits.

342345 ,

I just realised that digits translates to Finger in german. And finger also translates to Finger. But you have 10 of the former and 8 of the latter. Funny.

BeatTakeshi ,
@BeatTakeshi@lemmy.world avatar

It’s as if people used their fingers when starting counting things… How weird

Gutek8134 ,
@Gutek8134@lemmy.world avatar

Me casually using base-12 (Mesopotamian) for counting

agent_flounder ,
@agent_flounder@lemmy.world avatar

Polydactyl? Or how did they manage that?

You mean used their digits? There are only 8 fingers. But then there is also the octal system. And together with a friend you could count in hexadecimal… :)

lilly ,

Digit is Ziffer in German

schnurrito ,

That too yes

QuazarOmega ,

The index was so out of bounds it fell from his hand

steersman2484 ,

Ackchyually humans have 10 fingers, indexed 0 to 9

desentizised ,

yea imagine if 0 was worth 1 all of a sudden

Nariom ,

by that logic finger 2 is worth 2, 3 worth 3 and so on? so you have 45 fingers?!!

CommanderCloon ,

1 - 1 = 1

DAMunzy ,

I guess we’re counting the thumb fingers now. 😜🤪😂

sxan ,
@sxan@midwest.social avatar

Even if we aren’t OP is still wrong; we’d have 8 fingers, if we don’t count thumbs, even if we index them from 0-7. The only way 9 works is when someone doesn’t have the common number of digits.
