Why not use military time?

[wtfNeedSignUp]

I'm in a country that uses military time (ie 24 hour clock) and I just can't understand not using it as a standard. It's far easier to organize and you can't get confused between AM and PM.

fuck all my clocks are set to 24HR time. So I use "military" time.

3 pages of sperging about AM/PM vs 24 hour and metric vs imperial. we really will fight about anything.

go outside.

Get the fuck off your high horse and get in the tranches, you better pick a side, and make it the right one!

I use 24 hour and metric, like a real man. Anyone who uses a 12 hour clock is too retarded to do simple maths, and imperial is an utterly retarded and outdated system of measurement used by descendants of poor immigrants in a country of immigrants.

Also, Celsius > Fahrenheit.

You know the way brother!

In reality, it's actually the opposite. Imperial units are mathematically superior to metric units, as they based on highly composite numbers - i.e. numbers which posses a large set of divisors.

The main argument - perhaps the only argument - in favour of Continental units, is that metric users are too retarded to simple maths, and need a system where they just shift a decimal point every so often.

And even that only works because metric users, descendants of stay-at-home peasants trapped in countries ruled by dictators, obstinately cling to their outdated, "I can only count on my fingers" Base 10 system. Try to do metric calculations with Base 16; it's an absolute nightmare (but it's also perfect for Imperial calculations!)

Fucking hell. Base 10 is certainly easier for me to compute, but now I feel like a bumbling peasant who shags sheep.

"I'll meet you tomorrow night at 7."
"AM OR PM!?!??!?!"

This is a serious question at some seasons and latitudes.

America is the most powerful, wealthy, and influential nation the world has ever known. No one has accomplished more shit than us. Mostly because we choose not to wallow in mediocrity and conformity with the rest of you.

That's objectively a huge pile of bullshit.

And 24 hour is superior. When I hear an adult say seven pee em, they sound like a fucking retard.

Anyone who says 19 hundred pee em, needs dropping off in the wilderness because they aren't fit for society

I use military time when on duty and on documents. I use AM/PM when talking to normal people.

 

[DerKryptid]

Why not use decimal time?

All of my shit is set to military time. I used military time at Wally World and at the hospital. I find military time like super easy. After 12 PM add 12 to the hour until 8 PM which is twenty hundred. Calling 11 PM 2300 just makes moar sense to me. I cannot believe how retarded Americans are that they cannot use military time.

It's just easier that way. Like what if you were to take a nap and wake up at like 6 o'clock. The huge problem is that 6 o'clock AM and PM look exactly the same in the winter and summer in my neck of the woods.
