Just use 24h like an adult, bro.
A decade and a half ago, I couldn't even find a 24h alarm clock in Québec, Canada. I had to order one online. Even though I'd been using 24h time all my life. Thank you, anglophone neighbours.
I'm sorry is this some American joke I'm too European to understand?
Yes, they still use the imperial 12h system, not the metric 24h. Pathetic
Hey, don't lump me in with those cretins, I've been using 24h for years.
Does Europe not use AM/PM?
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.
no
That’s cool, I didn’t know you guys did that. I use 24 hour time at work and it confuses half of folks and the other half appreciate it
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
Romania uses it along with the other system
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

How did you get my schedule?
I was only able to fetch data for the past hour
lol shut up brain
I'm in this photo and I don't like it
"The" alarm? You complete and utter fool!
Pros have like all the alarms, all of them , planned to the minute, accounting for vacations, time zones and holidays (local and international) for years beforehand.
You just have shown the complete ignorance in your daily dwelling by not handling your time piece with the military your settings.
May God have mercy on your soul
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?
