minus-squarebob_lemon@feddit.delinkfedilinkarrow-up24arrow-down1·7 months agoIt works, but it’s still a workaround for a thoroughly confusing notation instead of just using 24h time.
minus-squarekibiz0r@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up4·7 months agoIt’s not the counting to 12 that’s confusing, it’s that 12 should really be called 0 if 12:00 noon counts as PM. It’s really weird that it goes 12:00PM -> 12:59PM… -> 1:00PM… -> 11:59PM… -> 12:00AM It would make more sense to go 0:00PM -> 0:59PM… -> 1:00PM… -> 11:59PM… -> 0:00AM
minus-squarebob_lemon@feddit.delinkfedilinkarrow-up2·edit-27 months agoTrue, but that’s not what the 12h clock does. It starts at 12, then jumps to 1 and counts all the way up to 11, then restarts at 12.
