When the Sun shines upon Earth, 2 – major Time points are created on opposite sides of Earth – known as Midday and Midnight. Where the 2 major Time forces join, synergy creates 2 new minor Time points we recognize as Sunup and Sundown. The 4-equidistant time points can be considered as Time Square imprinted upon the circle of Earth. In a single rotation of the Earth sphere, each Time corner point rotates through the other 3-corner Time points, thus creating 16 corners, 96 hours and 4-simultaneous 24-hour Days within a single rotation of Earth – equated to a Higher Order of Life Time Cube.
AM/PM guy "let me just start my day a 12"
CHAD 24H : "day starts at zero"
i phrased it that way on purpose, but actually, the hour labelled 12pm is 100% AFTER the instant of noon. that's why it's pm. at least, that's how i managed to make myself remember, because fucking americans and their shit am/pm nonsense and i had to accommodate that when programming.
cos yeah, nobody sane writes times down in 12h format, that's just weird.
On the contrary this is a US-centric viewpoint and therefore needs to be killed with fire
there is exactly one system agreed upon and it is ISO 8601 and you will be using it
24h format when doing time in numbers (ie. 13.30), 12h when doing time in words (ie. half past one).
the worst of both worlds. congratulations, you've solved the problem of which one is worse. it's your solution
how can it be normal ? you leave a 50/50 fail chance.. You just say the exact number , and only the 24H format has the exact number . everything else leave an opening for the devil , and look around you , the devil did get in , confusion reigns .. You can Draw a chalk line against him , he can not cross the 24 Hourgram.
Obviously the Devil now plays tricks before you , in form of your pride , he whispers "12H format" in your ear ,.. Dont fall for it. Do you want to be awoken by the Carpenter at 0.30 or do you want the Sun to set at 12.30 ? Dont fall to his confusion ...
a 50/50 fail chance…
I literally never don't know if it's day or night, do you really need this information from your clock? The rest of the world needs more windows apparently
Do Germans use the 24h format verbally too? That would be very on brand for them
hungarians use the 24h format verbally, fairly interchangeably with the 12h format, though the 12h format is more common. but show times on tv are announced in 24h format even in speech.
weirdly, movie show times are always in a super weird format of their own. it's based on the way time is spoken about (with all the quarter-to x and half-past y stuff), but it's not used anywhere else afaik.
yeah nah, this isnt a problem in practice because it's either obvious from context or people will ask for clarification anyway.
but actually, while i'll use the 12 hour stuff in casual speech, i always confirm meeting times in 24h format. just to be sure to be sure.
Raketa 24 hour watches look sick, especially the vintage soviet ones. A 24 hour watch dial also serves as a solar compass, so it has a practical advantage too.
you claim there's 24 hours in a day
yet your day ends at 00:00
curious
You claim a circle has 360°, yet it ends at 0°
:curious-marx:
The day starts at 00:00, it ends at 23:59. It doesn't start at 12:00 and then go to 1:00 and end at the second time 11:59 rolls around, that would be crazy.
wheres the 24th hour then?? who stole it? is this why i can't get good enough sleep someone somewhere stole my 24th hour? was it the government?
Okay, but consider this:
Metric time. Base unit is seconds since the big bang. The current date and time is 436117076.6010019846210048721 gigaseconds.
And the best part is that like all methods of time keeping, it too is ultimately arbitrary since wishy washy concepts like "seconds since the big bang" or "meters across the observable universe" are highly dependent on the gravity well you're sitting in and how fast you're moving from the perspective of an outside observer.
Well, to get closer to the heart of it, time is a human-constructed concept to serve social ends and whatever is the best system is whatever is socially dominant
the base unit is a year and it started in the french revolution
what are they teaching you gen z revolutionaries these days smdh :I-was-saying:
this is just
america on the left vs everywhere else on the right lol
It's insane to keep resetting the counter every 24 hours. Let's just agree that it is 328 800 000 000:07 AM.
