24h time is confusing

if subtracting 12 in your head is too hard then you can just subtract 2 and ignore the number in the tens place

>>715052038 (OP)
I genuinely would like to know of a single example as burgers talking about "military time" is fucking hilarious.

>>715052143
Less confusing than every hours repeating twice.

>>715052143
0-12 is AM
If the time is 13+, you subtract 12 and add PM.
13 = 1 PM.

>>715052256
Or I can use 12h time and not do any math to know the time

>>715052358
Sure, but it's not always used. 4chan is 24 hour, for instance. Is yours different?

AM : amorphe mutts ( they didn't eat yet and meekly wobble in search of preys such as a lone quarter pounder )
PM : potent mutts ( they're loaded and armed and ready to shart the mall )

Easy trick to remember the difference

>>715052038 (OP)
>burger
as per usual, you're bitching about something that isn't unique to americans

>>715052038 (OP)
>AM PM burger
Burgers don't know how to read analog clocks tho

>>715052143
How? There's 24 hours in a day, a 24hr clock tells you exactly what time something happened, no ambiguity. Wtf is the problem?

>>715052676
Fuck you that puzzle in RE4R is BULLSHIT

Americans can't count past 12.

You can confuse an American by saying something like "It's quarter to five."

>>715052143
When is 12PM again? Midnight? Since 1PM is right after noon

>>715052143
It's significantly less confusing than am/pm, in which 12am precedes 1am instead of 1pm for no reason.

>>715052892
12PM is noon and 12AM is midnight. It should be easy to remember considering someone can look outside at 12AM and see how dark it is.

>>715052998
Right, so after 11AM is 12PM then after that 1PM.
Makes sense

>>715053064
Yes, it does make sense, because 12pm-12am is 12 hours.

>>715052892
An easy way to remember it is that 12:00:00 is noon, but the second after, 12:00:01 is already after noon, hence PM

>>715053150
>>715053227
24h time eliminated all that ambiguity, just like metric eliminated inch, feet, yada yada arbitrary measurements

>>715052358
>Or I can use 12h time and not do any math to know the time
You're the one who need to need to do math to know whether or not it's AM or PM.
A day has 24 hours no matter what clock you're using, so why not just use a 24 hour clock instead of a 12 hour clock that repeats in two modes?

Ante and post meridiem are dumb phrases too.

>>715053362
It seems like some people struggle with 12 hour time, based on what I'm hearing in this thread. 4chan looking like the intelligent people they are.

I learnt:

6:00pm
18:00
and
Eighteen hundred hours

But I still prefer 24 hour. AM/PM is so shit.

>>715053384
Listen here you contrarian piece of shit. Everybody uses 12 hour times so whenever there's some fucker using 24hours you need to subtract 12 just to know the god damn time.
How is that not confusing? Just fucking use 12 hour time like everyone else so we don't have to deal with YOUR bullshit.

>>715053620
Subtracting 12 is so hard for you people.
I forgot.

>>715053620
This map >>715052543 shows that everyone understands 24h except for muslims and burgers though. Does circumcision prevent the brain from learning how to count past 12?

>americans remember about 11am -> 12pm -> 1pm
>americans can't subtract 12 from a 2 digit number
The global superpower nation... I kneel.

>>715053620
>you need to subtract 12 just to know the god damn time
If the time of day is 12:00 then I can just say that the time of day is 12:00. If the time of day is 16:00 then I can just say that the time of day is 16:00.
No need to subtract. Subtracting doesn't even work if the time of day is 12:00.

>>715052143
I got used to it in the military. It’s just cumbersome when you didn’t grow up with it.

We refer to midnight as “balls”, as in “You’ve got the balls to 8 watch”.

>>715053909
Maybe they'll understand time if you put it in burgers and fries.

It's 16 burgers 35 fries.

>>715052038 (OP)
I'll never stop chuckling about the time my burger friend asked me "what is 6AM in military time?"

>>715052038 (OP)
When has this ever happened in the history of ever?

>>715054034
Like you count in Muslim rapes, right?

AM - Ap to midday
PM - Past midday

it's a circumcision trauma we wouldn't understand

>>715052143
>tfw can't count past 12

>>715053850
just as much circumcision in Australia, although the map is maybe slightly misleading, it's pretty well universally 12 hour time here

If AM is ante meridian = before midday
and PM is post meridian = after midday
then surely 12:00:00 is neither

And really 00:00PM or 00:00AM would make more sense as midday.

>>715054768
>And really 00:00PM or 00:00AM would make more sense as midday.
You raise a good point

>>715052498
do retards really have a hard time with AM/PM? that's even more embarrassing than not understand 24hr time

>>715054843
Is it? maybe i'm just lacking in knowledge then

>>715052038 (OP)
Anyone who can't understand imperial AND metric measurements or 12 AND 24 hour times is a fucking retard.

It would, but Americans think zero is a scary number.

Someone post the fixed version

>>715052543
I'm in one of those light pink countries and we do use 24 in writing but no one but little children use it orally so I'm not sure how trustworthy this really is.

This shit is the worst.

Same energy, retard.

>>715064881
except i can convert 1kg into liters easily

>>715065052
i just googled it
>If you are dealing with water and need to convert 1 gallon to pounds, a gallon of pure water at 39.2 °F (4.0 °C) weighs 8.3452 lb. Conversely, if you want to convert 1 pound to gallons, a pound of water is equivalent to that of 0.11983 gallons.
what's the deal with this clown metrics mental gymnastics?
another benefit of kg you can just calculate the force F by multiplying the kilos by gravitational pull 9.8m/s

>>715065052
oh yeah? how many liters is kilogram of feathers?

>>715065451
1

Why are your units so weak? You need more kilowatts or whatever to equal a superior mile.

24 hour time is also used here you inbred cretin. The military uses it extensively and it is full of the dumbest people you can imagine.

>>715068214
There's nothing particularly spectacular about that story. Most people driving don't even look at the speedometer.

>>715052143
By the way this is 100% "but I did eat breakfast" style thinking. It's only confusing because they learned the 12-hour clocks and can't entertain the hypothetical "but what if you learned thr 24-hour clock?"

>>715052143
Here's a simple trick.

If it's 13:00 or higher, you can subtract the time by 12 and get AM/PM time. 13:00 - 12:00 = 1:00

I switched to military time because I kept accidentally setting my alarm for PM instead of AM

>>715055384
wasn't F supposed to be
>freeze as 33
>human temp at 100
>boiling at 200

>>715070517
32, 98.6, 212, but close. It allows for a lot more precision in human livable temperatures.

doesn't the military use 24?

USA uses 24

Meters are the dumbest shit ever, "oh, I'm 1.85m tall, that's so much taller than that 1.74m manlet"
Celsius too "what's the temperature? Ehh, somewhere around 23, like every day of the entire year"
You're fucking idiots for using units meant for large calculations for tiny fucking measurements, morons
