Just use 24h like an adult, bro.
A decade and a half ago, I couldn’t even find a 24h alarm clock in Québec, Canada. I had to order one online. Even though I’d been using 24h time all my life. Thank you, anglophone neighbours.
I’m sorry is this some American joke I’m too European to understand?
Yes, they still use the imperial 12h system, not the metric 24h. Pathetic
Hey, don’t lump me in with those cretins, I’ve been using 24h for years.
Whenever a system puts in that format I just change it back to AM/PM, I just don’t like it, I like to have less numbers (bigger numbers) on my screens… Not that it confuses me or anything.
Ah yes, the 1120PM is so much smaller than the 2320 on the screen
That’s a bad example because you have to take off your socks to count that high in both cases.
Well, 23 is bigger than 11 isn’t it?
That is totally what I meant, it is just how I got used to using AM and PM.
It’s just a time system that can easily convert from one to the other. Not something to stake your superiority on.
I never claimed superiority. I only said that since Europeans are accustomed to 24h system, the joke becomes difficult to understand, because we don’t have this problem.
But if you perceive this as some sign of superiority, well…
This is where empathy becomes a good skill to have. I’m certain you can understand the basic setup of the joke even though the exact situation may not be likely in your culture.
The joke isn’t even about the time, it’s about their anxious thinking.
Android deploys a pop up message saying how many hours until the alarm goes off when you set the alarm. It has saved me from this more than a few times.
It also feels like it’s judging me when, “Alarm set for 2 hours and 46 minutes from now.”
Yes, that little message is so helpful to confirm the alarm is set for the right time. It’s saved me a few times for sure
/me laughts in 24h clock
After working in 24-7 transportation for over a decade, it’s honestly confusing when normal people schedule things for the afternoon. I always have to take a step back and ask myself if they really want to meet up at 0400. It’s just so much better to schedule using a 24-hour clock.
I wonder if I accidentally turned the alarm off when I was checking…
Man just yesterday i found out that even imperial time system is removed: Not like they count from 0 to 11 or 1 to 12, no its: 11 pm, 12 AM!, 1 am, … 11 am, 12 PM!, 1 pm, … 11 pm
Checks alarm … alarm is fine

… ALARM GOES OFF …
How did you get my schedule?
I was only able to fetch data for the past hour
lol shut up brain
“The” alarm? You complete and utter fool!
Pros have like all the alarms, all of them , planned to the minute, accounting for vacations, time zones and holidays (local and international) for years beforehand.
You just have shown the complete ignorance in your daily dwelling by not handling your time piece with the military your settings.
May God have mercy on your soul
I’m in this photo and I don’t like it
Everything in my house uses 24 hour time.
Except for my Cuisinart coffee maker.
Wouldn’t mind too much but the programme is set to 12:00pm by default and the clock to 12:00am. Caught me out the first few times I set it.
Surely it’s more likely someone is going to want coffee automatically brewed in the morning rather than the afternoon/ evening and that they’re setting it up in the afternoon/evening rather than the early hours of the morning?
