Comment on Whoever invented the 12-hour clock never doubted that people will always know if it's day or night
limer@lemmy.ml 3 days agoI’m not doubting they are out there now, but I think based on my own observations it’s a new trend that is only 20 or 30 years old. Or, at least, it was not seen by me in earlier years .
I’m going to get on my soap box and guess such clocks became more popular because of digital devices showing 24 hour time

Oh they definitely aren’t popular, but they are plentiful depending on use case. My dad prefers them as an old military guy.
