  I use 36-hour format personally

  Yes. Ambiguity is bad. Water is liquid and skies are high.

  Clearly the solution is to adopt decimal time and have 10 hours per day, 100 minutes per hour, and 100 seconds per minute

    The French actually tried this

      Probably failed because you have to do math for numbers above 20.

    Now I’m wondering whether corporations would use 6-hour shifts (2.5 dec) instead of 8-hour shifts (3.33… dec) when switching to decimal time.

  Just always use the good format

    Yes. Seconds into the day.

    For example, this morning, I got up at 22,185 seconds.

  Nah. It’s no problem at all, we can handle nuances. If I need to be specific I use 24hr. If someone invites me over tomorrow for a cup of tea and I say I’ll be over 2ish they know what I mean. It’s all about context.

  I find 12:00 a.m. and 12:00 p.m. incredibly confusing. It’s 11:59 a.m. and one minute later it’s suddenly 12:00 p.m. and you just keep counting until 12:59 p.m. before you reset the clock to 1:00 p.m. The literal meaning of p.m. (post meridiem) is after midday, which instinctively suggests that 12:00 p.m. is 12 hours after midday. If it would just start counting from 0:00 p.m. you wouldn’t have this problem. Of course it all makes sense if you’re used to it, but this is from my 24h perspective.

  Like saying 2025-04-19 and 19-04-2025 and 04-19-2025 aren’t compatible. Yep, agreed.

  That’s why I never specify what time im referring to

  12-hour format is an abomination. Unix time ftw.

• Diddlydee@feddit.uk ⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

  How do you use them together? It’s either 4pm or 16.00. I can’t use both together.

  source

  • sxan@midwest.social ⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

    It’s zero-three-hundred PM.

    source

    • Diddlydee@feddit.uk ⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

      That’s just wrong though, regardless of mixing 12 and 24 hours. That’d be a.m. Is this a weird US thing? I’ve never heard anyone say anything close to your example.

  I’m for using epoch/Unix time. Date and time conveniently in one number
