Yes, they still use the imperial 12h system, not the metric 24h. Pathetic

we like to stay vigilant of the Sun's position relative to our meridian

Ah yes, the sun is three washing machines off the football fields, time for some high fructose corn syrup 😋

Hey, don't lump me in with those cretins, I've been using 24h for years.

Whenever a system puts in that format I just change it back to AM/PM, I just don't like it, I like to have less numbers (bigger numbers) on my screens... Not that it confuses me or anything.

Ah yes, the 1120PM is so much smaller than the 2320 on the screen

That's a bad example because you have to take off your socks to count that high in both cases.

Well, 23 is bigger than 11 isn't it?

That is totally what I meant, it is just how I got used to using AM and PM.
