Nah. It’s no problem at all, we can handle nuances. If I need to be specific I use 24hr. If someone invites me over tomorrow for a cup of tea and I say I’ll be over 2ish they know what I mean. It’s all about context.
Like saying 2025-04-19 and 19-04-2025 and 04-19-2025 aren’t compatible. Yep, agreed.
12-hour format is an abomination. Unix time ftw.
I use 36-hour format personally
Clearly the solution is to adopt decimal time and have 10 hours per day, 100 minutes per hour, and 100 seconds per minute
The French actually tried this
Probably failed because you have to do math for numbers above 20.
Now I’m wondering whether corporations would use 6-hour shifts (2.5 dec) instead of 8-hour shifts (3.33… dec) when switching to decimal time.

Yes. Ambiguity is bad. Water is liquid and skies are high.
Just always use the good format
Yes. Seconds into the day.
For example, this morning, I got up at 22,185 seconds.
i just woke up, too. the time was 1745067101
Uhh, with DST?
How do you use them together? It’s either 4pm or 16.00. I can’t use both together.
It’s zero-three-hundred PM.
Zero three hundred am o’clock in the morning
That’s just wrong though, regardless of mixing 12 and 24 hours. That’d be a.m. Is this a weird US thing? I’ve never heard anyone say anything close to your example.
the joke is 0300pm => 3pm = 15:00
You’re taking miltary time but putting it on a 12 hour clock, so you have to specify am or pm
I’m for using epoch/Unix time. Date and time conveniently in one number
That’s why I never specify what time im referring to
