For preserving the least toxic and most culturally relevant Tumblr heritage posts.

Image descriptions and plain text captions of written content are expected of all screenshots. Here are some image text extractors (I looked these up quick and will gladly take FOSS recommendations):

-web

-iOS

-android

Please begin copied raw text posts (lacking a screenshot that makes it apparent it is from Tumblr) with:

I made the icon using multiple creative commons svg resources, the banner is this.

I would have done 10+6, but that's effectively the same thing as the OP.

Aside from literally counting, what other way is there to arrive at 16? You either memorize it, batch the numbers into something else you have memorized, or you count.

Am I missing some obvious 'natural' way?

I'm also in 10+6 gang, and it's more universal, as in a decimal system you will always have a 10 or 100 to add up to, and a "pretty" 8+8 is less usual
