cuz da Vinci was based^12^

While the AM/PM system is perfect for the American ruling class.

I never understood AMs and PMs. We start at 12, count upwards to 11, and do that twice? No fuck that, I just use a 24-hour clock.

Guys, the joke is he only dates women until they turn 24. That's the joke.

What's worse is that you get 10am, 11am, 12pm, 1pm... Who the fuck thought that was a good idea?

This is why it’s specifically AFTER 12:00:00am it changes room at 12:00:01.

Changes… room?

yeah... wait, your room doesn't change every day?

I think my room changes whenever my feets do the thing, there’s like ten rooms in this place and billions more outside.

only cool people can cout to 2^10^ on their fingers.

We call ‘em “Ol’ RAM Hands” for all those 1024 bits per byte!

How many “baud” is that, you Gen Z fuckers? Lmao

we’re talking about masturbation in case you missed it

ugh... of course you are

back in my day, we had sex with other people! IT WAS AWESOME

Edit: you kids just need to learn that getting close— it’s just the beginning…

I don't know whether that was on purpose, but I don't know many people that want to cout << 0b10000000000;.

That doesn't make it any better. In fact, it makes it worse, as you now got an am/pm shift in the middle of an hour. Compare this to the 24 hour time: it starts at midnight (00:00:00), and grows predictably up to 23:59:59.

Americans: 'Military Time'

The rest of the world: 'Time'

More complex (so more cost), harder to read at a glance, you'd want to start at the bottom so that midday is at the top to align with the sun, absolutely minimal difference vs 12h clocks. This assumes a physical clock (face), not digital, but by the time (heh) digital came around it's not like anybody is going to change anything.

Now you understand am/pm.

Ok that's freaking me out because I count form the inside joint out, so your 3 is where 1 should be etc.

Deci-bino quaternal?

are you saying am/pm change happens one second after 12? because no, they happen at the instant of 12.

Cool. Why is 10+5=3?

I hate this shit.

It's not nearly that clean of a split. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Date_and_time_representation_by_country

Ante meridiem and post meridiem. Before and after noon. (Noon being true noon, when the sun is at it's highest point) Everything after 12:00 exactly is after noon and it makes more sense to change the notation there than 12:01.

And then dates a new born apparently

We just went over this but okay

We really should count up to meridian and then back down.

12 should be 0, 0:00 is noon and 0:01 the minute after.

1:23 is 1•60+23 minutes after noon or midnight.

Just be careful with 4, 128, and especially both (132)

why would post malone do this to us

Without doing any further research, I bet it's a holdover from using Roman numerals (which has no 0) on clock faces.

I can count to any number on one hand because I know how how to count in ASL 😎

I recall 0 had a fear around it, in the same way as negative numbers and complex numbers. People didn't consider it real and refused to use it.

Zero as a placeholder for arabic numbers was used long before people became comfortable with "a number without digits"; zero was just a placeholder, not a digit.

I tried finding when zero as a number became used, but found that really hard since everyone instead talks about the digit/placeholder.
Best I found is number.wiki which states India started using it as a number around 600. The introduction and popularization in europe around 12-1600 had it introduced as purely a placeholder though. "The nine Indian figures are: 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1. With these nine figures, and with the sign 0 ... any number may be written"

The split is Americans calling it military time when it's just a 24 hour clock

"Military time" is technically different from other 24 hour notation, but for a lot of Americans the military was the first (or only) situation they used it in so the connotation makes sense.

Working healthcare for 10 years and 100% of my clocks are in 24h time. Can't accidentally set my alarm clock for 6am instead of 6pm!
