Why do thirdies and europoors use military time?

Just more accurate overall since you dont need to learn about AM and PM. English speakers are used to Latin terms but definitely "wtf" if you are chinese or german

>>211694645 (OP)
We literally invented time m8

>>211696091

I use 24hr time, celsius, metric, and DD/MM/YYYY despite living in the US my whole life

>>211696465
>DD/MM/YYYY
ass. YYYY/MM/DD is superior

>>211696091
Blue have multilated penises btw

>>211696465
based
>>211696691
why?

>>211696465
you can use whatever you want from within the confines of your mother's basement I suppose

>>211696691
That's good too, I have no issue with it. As long as it's in order one way or the other.

>>211696773
Weird projection buddy

>>211696734
It's just more logical and consistent since hours, minutes and seconds also go from biggest to smallest

>>211696734
>why?
For formatting and cataloguing dates it's better. I use it on my PC and formatting files and it makes it easier to sort. Also it's kind-of compatible with MM/DD/YYYY, in that if the date is say, 6/8, in both MM/DD/YYYY and YYYY/MM/DD it's the same date, June 8. In DD/MM/YYYY it would be August 6 leading to confusion.

if you actually had to work with other people you would use the standard weights, measures and time conventions

Because there are 24 hours in a day, so the day starts at hour 0 and advances to hour 23 until it starts over again at hour 0 of the next day

The real question, is why do you split it in half? Why? A day is already defined as 24 hours, why split it again? For what purpose?

>>211697035
If you're regularly dealing with weights and measurements in your job, you're probably a poorfag blue-collar manual laborer.
Get back to fixing my toilet, tradecuck

>>211697193
what do you do? design interfaces for mobile apps?

>>211696091
>both in common use

We use AM/PM much more.

>>211697283
No, I'm the nigga that actually implements the design that some soiboy designer mocked up.

>>211697114
The most probable reason why we use it is because the British used it during their Empire. Both 12 hour clock and 24 hour clock come from the ancient world.

>>211697673

Cope. Every industry that actually matters already uses metric here, and that number is only going up. Sooner or later, the low-end tradesmen like you will follow suit.

Better get used to it, or you won't be able to fix my toilet properly. And guess who won't be receiving a tip if that happens?

The hell does metric have to do with using a 24 hour clock

>>211698112
I'm an engineer and every manufacturer I've worked for still uses inches and pounds tho

For them military time is normal time, its only called military time since our military picked it up during WWII.

>>211694645 (OP)
what the fuck is military time

>>211696091
Pretty much this, but we also use the 24 hour in formal contexts, for example, when a doctor's receptionist gives me the time of my next appointment, they always do in 24 hour clock.
