My biggest regret of living in this society is that we don't use base 16. It'd be super useful.

(1) It can be divided in halves or multiplied by 2 without making the number weirder, so it's very nice for guessing/adjusting values.

(2) It is a perfect square, so it can be split into "four fours". Counting to four is easy to humans; more than four requires you to think.
