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.
This sounds like xkcd alt text
Jokes on you, I already owed one beer!
It looks like the way to ask for 2 beers would be quite offensive.

Pretty sure he’s ordering 6 in this image.
From his perspective, he orders 4.
But if he twitches and puts his fingers closer together, he orders 3.
he’s ordering 7, I think, if you count the thumb.
I don’t see it… Two fingers and thumb make VI.
I actually forgot about Roman numerals for a second.
Three logicians walk into a bar. The bartender asks, “Do all of you want a beer?”
“I don’t know”
“I don’t know”
“Yes”
“Would you possibly want a beer out of three?”
“Yes.”
“There are now only two possible beers left. Would you like to change to another beer?”
“YES!”
Oh this is a good one
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.!<

Thats what I thought at first
An infinite number of mathematicians walk into a bar…
A quantum mechanic walks into a bar.
He also walks out of the bar.
At the same time.
A temporal traveller walks into a bar.

Hahahahahaha!
How surprised they must have been!
Glad he picked up another friend. Ordering only two was getting him into a lot of trouble.
Huh, why? Only four would be a Problem. Even worse, 132.
In the image he isn’t using his thumb to count, so 2 would be the middle finger.
Why would you count with only 4 fingers when the hand has 5?
I think it’s because in the UK they start counting (regularly) with the index finger, so the regular binary two would look unnatural in context

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. 🥖🫡
Never ask for 2 beers though.

This could have ended up very badly if were only two beers.
Because they would have to fight for the missing beer or because they would have to fight for the remaining two?
That’s because of how the number 2 is represented.
Didn’t realize Tommy Lee Jones was bartending these days
