So @sotolf reminded me of something I kind of love. The Japanese "30-hour system". Used in nightlife, broadcasting, and transport, the time extends the day past midnight to keep late-night events grouped with the same calendar day. So a club open from 11PM to 1AM might list its hours as 23:00โ25:00.
We should all adopt this!
Sadly Wikipedia does not have a detailed page on this system in English but here is a little longer explanation:
Ok, I did not find an article on extended times (past midnight) from NASA but you can indeed find references that confirm it is a thing they do, e.g. from this page:
https://www.nasa.gov/history/afj/ap15fj/05day2_checking_sps.html
@sotolf Then again the Americans are already scared of the 24 hour clock. If we push for the 30 hour notation I think they might lose it altogether.
Butโฆ they did give us Trump, so I am not adverse to making them feel a little uncomfortable. ๐คท
Here's an idea. Many smartphones and watches have sleep trackers. If your smart device knows you have not slept yet, should it list the time with this 30 hour system?
I mean if you stayed up late and decided to go to a club it might help if your watch used the same notation for closing times as the place you want to get into, right?
Especially if you are a little drunk as it requires less thinking. ๐ค
A nice comment/observation from @th

"@ruari the GTFS spec uses this for transit system https://developers.google.com/transit/ "
Something similar was also pointed out to me by @hananc, " In Israel, there is a bus that leaves at midnight and a half. In the timeline it says 24:30 of the previous date so people are not confused which midnight and half it leaves at."
@[email protected] In Israel, there is a bus that leaves at midnight and a half. In the timeline it says 24:30 of the previous date so people are not confused which midnight and half it leaves at.
Another useful comment from @hananc, "it is mentioned in this wikipedia pageโฆ"
