There are so many things that we assume are unambiguous that aren’t. Like, my favourite argument starter is asking if 12 AM is midnight or midday.
24 hour clock all day every day
12am is midnight. Maybe not everyone knows it but it is defined.
If someone asked me that, I would say that i don’t care, because I use the 24 hour clock.
Fair. I actually get actively mad when stuff puts me on a 12-hour clock.
We’re living in 2025, civilization is globalized, most of the world has easy access to electricity and can work even during night. We don’t need two separate 12-hour cycles to separate daytime and nighttime for <insert your local area>. Let’s move on and use a proper time format.
And a personal pet peeve, please never call it “military time” - that illogical and ugly bastardization of ISO8601.
Ah yes, ISO8601. Just rolls of the tongue, doesn’t it?
