Duodecimal is provably superior, and the world now uses it instead of decimal. This means that the metric system is now base-12, and inches, feet, and yards are the common units.
Surprising to many people, very little else changes.
Analog clocks stay the same
There are still 12 months in the year
Your eggs still come in dozens
There are still 30 divisions of 12 degrees in a compass.
There are still 12 face cards in a deck of cards
Humans still have 12 pairs of ribs
A bouquet of roses still has 12 flowers
A box of doughnuts still comes with 12 doughnuts
Colas still come in half-dozen packs, and boxes of cola still usually come in a dozen.
Muffin trays still bake 12 muffins
Packs of toilet tissue are still sold in some multiple of a dozen: ½-dozen, 1 dozen, or 2 dozen.
Meanwhile, everyone learns they can count to 12 on one hand, and to 144 using both hands.
We have 1,2,4,6,10 and a flat which is 30ish. 6 and 10 are most common. Remember: smaller fridges and lots of people eat raw egg so they don’t keep it around a long time

My eggs don’t come in dozens before this change so I doubt they shall after (6 and 10 are most common in Japan)
Oh, a half dozen and 10? I wonder how that came about.
