Comment on Midnight is a stupid time for the clock to roll over to the next day
paper_moon@lemmy.world 3 days agoI forget which exact midnight represents, but the immediate second after midnight would be the ‘morning’ of the next day. If you’re born at 12:00:01 am or 00:0:01 in military time, then you’d be born the next day.

Right, but midnight is the mid of the night, so it’s still night 1 second after midnight, it’s not morning of the following day.

People call it early morning. I dunno what to say dude. You’re fighting against how long? of established nomenclature

People don’t typically call immedi after midnight “early morning”.
But also this is a silly post.
maybe I should have said “unsatisfying” instead of “sucks”. The way the calendar works doesn’t match how we typically intuit a day.
