Sometimes I struggle with time perception because of PTSD issues - I'll lose track of whether it's day/evening/night and whether I've slept etc. I accidentally set my watch to 12 hour mode when moving it an hour for daylight savings and it confused the shit out of me. It's so much clearer to glance at and determine if it's evening or daytime when there's no p.m./a.m.
Don't want the payroll people confuse the night shift with the morning shift. It's purely an economical arrangement. Besides I ain't even American.
Well I'm glad to be an actual us army veteran so I can unapologetically use the 24-hour format, which is easier & makes more sense than the 12-hour format.
American 24-hour user here. Its just a lot easier to calculate time intervals and tell the time from a quick glance with 24-hour time.
I use 24h time because my frens are of different timezones
Damn, me and my friends are so poor we all have to share the one timezone
I do this because I kept setting AM alarms to PM and missing them. We are not the same.
speaking of those two formats, most of Europe uses both at the same time and sometimes it's very annoying for us - "you said to meet you at 5!" "oh sorry i meant 15"
What is that image getting across to me? Is that from a film or something?
I have the same question. Because if that picture is supposed to represent stolen valor, or poseur, I don't think it's working.
I just feel like I'm in Europe again. I still prefer 12 hr times.
It can be a benefit for night shift folks because that can really start to mess with your head. A digital watch can be a big help too.
French?
As someone who grew up with a 24-hour clock, I can deal with 12 hours. Usually there’s no confusion if your store opens at 7am or 7pm. But 12:30PM being a valid time and meaning ‘00:30 on the next day’ fucks me up every time.
12:30 AM is 00:30 though?
They shouldn’t even have 12 on the clock, it should be 0 because the 12 hour clock is modulo 12.
Large parts of the world use 24h time regularly. Only Americans, as far as I know, really struggle with 24h time, roundabouts, and bidets as concepts.
24hr time is simply superior in every way. I don't get why more people dont swap it.
I changed mine on a whim years ago and never looked back.
I do it because then I don't put my calendar appointments in at oh, 3:00 AM.
15:00 is SOOOOOO much better for adhd me.
Also: it makes total sense! 24 hours, 24 separate numbers. It's the most logical conclusion.
12 hour time is a scam created by clockmakers who wanted to save paint.
