eli5: Every base is base 10

Something I found while reading about base systems, I can’t really wrap my head around it. Maybe it has to do with fractions?

Base is the amount of numbers in the first digit before you start the next set of digits. 0-12 = base 12, but 12 would be written as 10 in that system. It really is a shame we don’t use base 12.
