press 1 for am press 2 for pm speak 24 hour!!!! alternatively: complete lack of socialization leads people to be too inept for social cues and head out to the bar at 6am because someone said they wanted to have drinks after work at 6 hallebarrysoetoro has issued a correction as of 00:46 on Aug 18, 2018 |

hmm, how about a compromise. We switch to 24 hour time but it starts at noon. this preserves our convenient single digit times for when people are off work and awake.

Here are some simple conversions 5:00 am -> 05:00 -> 17:00 am 12:05 am ->00:05 -> 12:05 am 5:00 pm -> 17:00 -> 5:00 pm (NO leading zero) 12:05 pm -> 12:05 -> :05 pm (NO leading zeros under any circumstances)

whats more annoying, people not using 24hr time or people complaining about not using it as if it's the greatest issue currently facing the modern world another hot take: the average person in the US not using metric isn't that bad, it's already used literally everywhere it would make a difference

Wynona Dryder posted:why are the weekends only two days? Jewish people wanted Saturday off. Christians later got Sunday off. Japan only gets Sunday off. Who invented the 7 day week? Thursday day is Thor's day. And Romans made the year 12 months long by adding in two months that messed up September (7), October (8), November (9), and December (10).
