I'm sorry is this some American joke I'm too European to understand?
-
Does Europe not use AM/PM?
-
Nope “military time” as you call it, all the way babbyyyy
-
I don't think I've ever seen any country other than the USA using the 12 hour system
-
Some people use one 24h, other am/pm, but everything related to clocks always has the choice to use one or the other configurable. Most people use 24h format and most public info and tv shows and all that usually uses 24h. When I was a kid am/pm was used in more places, not sure why.
Basically everyone knows how to use both, it's obvious and straightforward, I don't think I've ever seen anyone ever not being able to know the time whichever foat was shown. Am/pm comes more often in informal talking when context of the conversation is obvious since it's much easier to say snack at 3 than snack is at 15.
-
It's used in spoken language, especially in combination with quarter past and stuff, but not in writing in not in the setting of digital watches
-
no
-
Romania uses it along with the other system
-
We use a mix in the UK, I prefer to use 24h when written down though, and my alarm app doesn't mention am/pm
-
-
It's just a time system that can easily convert from one to the other. Not something to stake your superiority on.

Android deploys a pop up message saying how many hours until the alarm goes off when you set the alarm. It has saved me from this more than a few times.
It also feels like it's judging me when, "Alarm set for 2 hours and 46 minutes from now."
-
Yes, that little message is so helpful to confirm the alarm is set for the right time. It's saved me a few times for sure

/me laughts in 24h clock

After working in 24-7 transportation for over a decade, it's honestly confusing when normal people schedule things for the afternoon. I always have to take a step back and ask myself if they really want to meet up at 0400. It's just so much better to schedule using a 24-hour clock.

I wonder if I accidentally turned the alarm off when I was checking...

Man just yesterday i found out that even imperial time system is retarded: Not like they count from 0 to 11 or 1 to 12, no its: 11 pm, 12 AM!, 1 am, ... 11 am, 12 PM!, 1 pm, ... 11 pm

Everything in my house uses 24 hour time.
Except for my Cuisinart coffee maker.
Wouldn't mind too much but the programme is set to 12:00pm by default and the clock to 12:00am. Caught me out the first few times I set it.
Surely it's more likely someone is going to want coffee automatically brewed in the morning rather than the afternoon/ evening and that they're setting it up in the afternoon/evening rather than the early hours of the morning?
