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 23:00–25:00.
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:
@FediThing @sotolf With the AM/PM time notation, just always remember that 12 is hour 0 hour. Thus 11AM is followed by 12PM.
Other tips:
• You can remember the order for AM/PM by recalling that 'A' is before 'P' (alphabetically)
• Avoid using AM and PM for the 12 hours if you can. Just say 12 midnight or 12 midday/noon, as people are more likely to understand you.
@FediThing Also, I disagree with you for once my friend, 25:00 is even "better" 🤪
