This implies that they are actually "speaking" in text, because over actual speech 10 said in base 10 would be "ten" and 10 said in base 2 would be "one zero", i.e. not ambiguous at all.

There's no rule saying that you can't pronounce 10 in binary as ten.
thank you for giving me a great torture idea for all my IT adjacent friends, from now on i'll be pronouncing all binary as if it were one number (up until i can't be bothered anymore)
All bases are base 10
Not base 1.
I'm only interested in 3rd base currently.
So base 4?
Based sex-pest
All bases are belong to us
More important is the scale. On a scale of 10 means it doesn’t matter in what base XD
So then this would mean a 1 in binary is a decimal 5?
Depends if the scale runs from 1 to 10 it would be equivalent to a decimal 1, interpretation would be binary: 10 pretty 1 not pretty
Not zero-indexing people's attractiveness SMH. /s
Hexadecimal 😏
Babe, you are an F.
Babe, on a scale of 0x1 to 0x10, I give you a solid A+.
A+? Would that just be B or does it round down
It overflows and goes back to 0x00
It can be whatever you like
Should've just said "True".
On a 100, right?
Maybe he meant IO. She is his input/output.
All your base are belong to us
But on a binary scale this would translate to 11 base 10.
Wut?
10 binary = 2 decimal
10 decimal = 1010 binary
Where are we getting 11?
10 is the base (2) overflowed by 1 (zero indexed) which kind of translates to 10+1 base 10 (1 indexed). I didn't really mean in in mathematical but rather nonsensical way. I just wanted to pull 11/10
