While I didn’t know specific dates, I’m not surprised by the ones I know by name here, tbh. Flavorful food was a luxury for most until relatively recently, and along with the large cultural changes going on last century, these all make sense.
It’s only 15 to us because we use base 10 (or 9+1). Like how we have 4 through 9, but that aliens in the picture only count up to 3.
In the case of a mismatch, the culture using the higher base would just translate down (Base 21+1 in the given scenario).
Single units would probably be the simplest method, but also wildly impractical as the base gets higher. You really want to count each digit just to figure out someone uses Base 100?
I think that would confuse things more than it would help. It’s base 5, unless it’s base 10, unless it’s base 50, etc. And then there’s the rules designating numbers 1 below certain other numbers, or 2 below, depending on the system being used. That’s a whole web of complications when communication is already murky.
One glyph to one integer communicates the number system being used more clearly.

Star Wars has pretty much always been more than just movies though. Books, shows, games, etc. That’s what I mean by IP. If you’ve got a better term, feel free to share.
I know phantoms suck, but making them a natural spawning end mob would be much worse, imo, not better. At least now they only exist if the player forgets/chooses not to sleep.
Joe Biden’s campaign is facing a strategic dilemma. Since the president’s job-approval ratings have been consistently low, his path to reelection depends on making 2024 a comparative choice between himself and Donald Trump, his scary, extremist predecessor. That task is becoming more urgent as evidence emerges that a sizable...
Not only are the numbers weird, the games within the series (more than just the main 3) came out as exclusives to a wide variety of platforms. KH has such a bizarre history.
