Binary on fingers really comes into its own when you need to order 1023 beers over heavy background noise. Except when there’s a mix-up and you end up with -1 beer.
It’s easy to order 1 beer and end up with 31.
Jokes on you, I already owed one beer!
This sounds like xkcd alt text
Could just be European finger counting
Then wouldn’t the thumb be out?
good!
“Are you dislexic?!”
“No I’m just representing the number three in binary.” 😂
Never ask for 2 beers though.
ok sign with middle finger…
my more practical finger binary system would have op show 6 beers. 3 beers would be thumb and forefinger. System is digits forward to enemy have missing fingers be 0, raised 1.
This could have ended up very badly if where only two beers.
Because they would have to fight for the missing beer or because they would have to fight for the remaining two?

👏👏👏👏👏👏
Sir that is more beers than there are particles in the Universe.
Customer is always right
But he just ordered 6. Rookie mistake.
That’s the German 6!
I’m German and I didn’t know we can count to 720 with our hands…
!Explanation: An exclamation mark marks factorial, and 6 factorial is 720.!<
Looks like 12 to me
… Maybe.
It really depends on, which is the most significant bit… I mean finger.
Most significant digit?
That is actually 5, in Latin.
I think it’s more meant to be programming humor. 0=1, 1=2, 2=3, etc
It’s a Roman numeral…
Binary 11
So binary is French? That’s legit 3 in French
Technically, the thumb should be out as well. But yeah, that would totally be read as 3. 🥖🫡
Weird, thumb out is 3 in ASL (a french sign derived language), but thumb in that position reads as a really weird 2 to me
Didn’t realize Tommy Lee Jones was bartending these days
There’s a beer in Australia called XXXX.
The joke is it’s for those who can’t spell BEER, but it’s also for those who can’t count, because if they could, it’d be XL.
Perhaps the bartender is offended since the programmer is giving them the V sign?
He should be sticking out his thumb and index finger. With the index and middle finger up he’s showing 6.
