Comment on Midnight is a stupid time for the clock to roll over to the next day

I think metric time would be best, honestly.
This system is fine, but metric makes more sense intrinsically to me, being somewhat of a percentage of day kind of thing.

You can still have that, but base the start of the day on dawn(ish).
I do like metric time in principle, but also base 12 is better than base 10 so I’m torn

I get why people thought it was convenient to have it divisible by so many other numbers, but my opinion is fuck all that.
“Military time” should be standard in our system, the am/pm problem is absofuckinglutely stupid, pointless, and counterproductive.
Beginning of day should be low number. Increase until end of day and reset. There is no good argument for starting over halfway through and if you think there is think again because you’re wrong.
