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 ...
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
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.
the worst of both worlds. congratulations, you've solved the problem of which one is worse. it's your solution
this is just the normal way to use time though... it's not new or unique.

Do Germans use the 24h format verbally too? That would be very on brand for them

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.
That's just how us euros do it :shrug-outta-hecks:
