It's nice when people specially avoid saying 12 am or pm. Writing out noon or midnight, or 11:59 or 12:01 is much better.

This is why I like when things are released at 11:59 PM for example. Noon and midnight helps at least, but saying midnight on whatever day is ambiguous when it shouldn't be.

i absolutely cannot deal with how incredibly dumb this post is oh my godThat post makes some sense if you assume that every clock has a clock face (Ziffernblatt) with numbers from 1-12 on it. The hour after midnight or midday is the hour from 12 to 1, so the German 00:30 is 12:30 and it's in the ante meridian half of the day. Speaking of "dumb" and clocks, how dumb is it that German language speakers can't agree on what to call 4:15? Viertel nach vier? Viertel fnf? Viertel ber vier?

The time system in general is fucked up60 is a good number. It is evenly divisible by a lot of other numbers so it is easy to break into smaller chunks. Hours came from a culture that used base 12 numbers. unfortunately for us, the shitty base 10 numerals system ended up winning out for most everything else so we have only 2 and 5 as clean divisors. -_- --- I want a pet Lavos Spawn.

no because it literally doesn't address the dumb placement of the am/pm switching that i was talking about in the opAM is by definition from midnight to midday, PM is by definition from midday to midnight. The "dumb" thing about it is making the first hour of each 12-hour window the hour from 12 to 1.
