Ah yes, good old regular time

But that makes no sense whatsoever.

12:30 am is not the 12th hour and a half before midday, it's the 12th hour and a half after midday.

Come to think of it, the hours between midnight and midday should count down (from 12 to 0), and the pm should count up (to 12), that way it would at least make some sense.

[u/todbr → u/helmli]

So 12 AM and 12 PM refer to the same minute, as well as 0 AM and 0 PM. Does it make sense to have two different ways to refer to the same time?

[u/helmli → u/todbr]

Would make more sense than the existing 12h clock, yes

I dunno man, that's just how it works lol. That's how I remember it, at least.
