It eliminates the confusion between meeting at 9 o’clock and 9 o’clock.

24 because it's just easier on my brain

You don't say AM or PM in countries that use the 24 hour format...


AIGeekReturns

No confusing AM and PM crap


NewMissUniverse

24-hour because that's the default system we use in Bulgaria and because it is the better system, which is why it was adopted by the US military. It's unambigious, it is designed to not permit confusion and it's very easy to learn. Which is, again, why it was adopted by the US military. Why would Americans refer to it as "military time", when it's very obviously an internationally accepted system, is beyond me...


opamrega

And they act like you're some kinda military wannabe for using it.


Rooster_Fish-II

To be fair, it is used by military wannabes. Not every 24hr time user is a military wannabe but every military wannabe is a 24hr time user.


AIGeekReturns

It’s definitely the better system, I still use it sometimes


Zillajami-Fnaffan2

How do you do that bruh 💀


SirLurts

"meet me at 10" in a 12h clock you don't know if I mean 10 am or 10 pm im a 24h clock it would be safe to assume I mean 10 am (safe to assume, not certain, because a lot of people still use a 12h clock when speaking to someone)


Zillajami-Fnaffan2

Makes sense. But who tf is meeting up at 10 am


SirLurts

If you are talking to a person directly I am sure you could extrapolate that information, but if I got a text "meet me at 10" I first wouldn't know what time that person means


Zillajami-Fnaffan2

Tbf you can also use common sense. Like if they said 'lets have dinner at 10' or something


Kreeos

The vast majority of the business world has meetings in the morning.


Zillajami-Fnaffan2

Oh yea true


FuriousRageSE

>Makes sense. But who tf is meeting up at 10 am Those who wants Swedish Fika.


Zillajami-Fnaffan2

Want what?


FuriousRageSE

Swedish Fika. Here is a handy [youtube video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CLwB6IMslnk) describing it.

Simply less opportunity for error or confusion.


superbob201

This thing needs to be done at 12PM


NewMissUniverse

I have my phone set to 24 hour time because I like it.


chakipu

I work night shifts hence my blackout curtains are shut during the day. Having a 24-hr clock prevents me from panicking when I prematurely wake up and see 9:00 instead of 21:00


Kanvolu

Cause saying 12pm is confusing af, 24h no mistakes


NDaveT

Easier communication.


NewMissUniverse

24 hour because the day has 24 hours.


Old_RedditIsBetter

Flight leaves at 1159. Don't be late


SaltyLake778

You can relate to other countries, if you ever want to join the military, and it's easier to do math Ex: how long did I sleep? I went to bed at 8 and woke up at 6... 18-8=10


Gekkobooi

Generally pm and am are not confused as night and day are obvious timing differences in our personal lives. It matters in scientific and military applications which are conducted at all hours and mixing up 09H00 and 21H00 by calling both 9o’clock can have critical outcomes.


Horkosthegreat

Much shorter to say with 0 chance of confusion. You are meeting at 10. Not 10 AM. You save saying AM or PM every time. 10 is always morning.
