    No. Base 12 and base 60 are significantly better for things that are commonly divided into halves, thirds, fourths and so on.

    A “day” is 86400 seconds. Changing the length of a second is a non starter, so you’d end up saying a day doesn’t line up with a day night cycle, or something weird like “a day is 8.64 hours long”, which doesn’t feel better than 24.
