Why do americans use am and pm for times still?

[Anonymous No.51345098]

I work in an international team with europeans, americans and some in the middle east

but the americans insist on saying stupid shit like "3 pm central time". who the fuck knows what that means? It can mean american centrla time or european central time

Just say 15.00 UTC+4 or something

Why are Europeans so dependant on American military? Figure that out and you will understand why "fuck you, that's why" is the only appropriate answer to your question.

[Anonymous No.51345127]

What does am and pm has to with the time zone they specifiy? Nothing


Just be clear on what everyone should use as a time zone or atleast they should be specific about what they mean, sounds like a team issue

>>51345127
technically you are correct, but I mean if you have multiple time zones someone saying "at eleven" is harder to understand

[Anonymous No.51345152]

asking mutts to add and subtract 12 from times is a big ask with all their mixed brown dna.

Americans don't give a fuck about European time zones. We'll specify the exact city if we need to describe something in European local time for coordinating a meeting or phone call.

I did American engineering work for two decades and the one thing you can be sure of is that no European or African will ever understand how unit conversion works. Those entire fucking continents are uninvestible because they cannot cope with numeric reasoning.

what do you mean? unit conversion is way easier in metric system than pounds and shit

AM and PM exist because before digital clocks, it was more efficient to split the day into two sections of 12 hours each.

The time zone thing obviously depends on the context in which it is being used. The UTC + or - thing doesn't take into account daylight savings.

[Anonymous No.51348495]

Why are the 12s switched.

24H time is only really used by the military and first responders in the US. Most people don't use it because they don't want to sound ridiculous.
Saying "Let's meet for coffee at 3" sounds more normal to Americans than, "We will rendezvous at the coffee shop at 1500 hours. It's approximately 3 clicks from your office."
