00:01 isn’t the morning. This isn’t negotiable. You’re wrong.

I think you’re perhaps like… Misunderstood here.
A.M. doesn’t meant “morning”.
It means “ante meridian” which is Latin for “before noon”.
It’s not up for debate. You’re very thoroughly wrong.

The definition of “AM” didn’t factor into anything I said, though.
You said “5am is morning”, but i said “before 5am” as in the entire time from midnight to 5am. I reminded you that “before 5am includes 00:01” which very much isn’t what people would consider to be morning.
This is a silly post about timekeeping, I’m not sure why you’re being rude about it.

5 am is morning. Because the sun is up like 40 percent of places 40 percent of the time. But that’s not your argument.
Your argument is that midnight makes no sense.
You’re wrong. 12 noon is noon. 12 midnight is MIDDLE of the night.
Noon is when the sun is on average the highest.
Midnight is on average when the sun is the lowest.
None of this is inconsistent. It makes perfect sense. Your inability to grasp this is a personal issue.
