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 23:00â25:00.
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:
@sotolf The key bit is AM is morning and PM is after midday. If you want to know the order, one trick is just to remind yourself that alphabetically A is before P.
To know what to do with 12 itself, just remember it is actually the zero hour. So 12AM, 1AM, 2AM âĶ 10AM, 11AM. That is then is followed by 12PM, 1PM, 2PM âĶ 10PM, 11PM.
I would assume the reason we use 12 and not 0 is simply because 0 is a "relatively" new concept and timekeeping is old as fuck. ðĪĢ
"Funnily enough I think of 24:00 as the end of the night and 0:00 as the beginning of the early morning :p"
Which is both true and also aligns with the Japanese system. ð
@sotolf Nah, you are not biased, just sensible! ð
Well at least I'm sensible when it comes to one thing :p
