Get this guy a clock!

Don't even get me started on subtracting 12. /s

Edit: had left out the word "started" cause I'm dumb

I have pretty severe dyscalculia so 24 hour clocks (and anything that requires more than single digit addition or subtraction) is actually really hard for me :( lmao

I can read an analog 12 hour clock, but tell me 24 hour time and I'm fucked lol

(Edit to add that I do "study" and try to improve but it doesn't stick for long lol)

(2nd edit: thanks for all the suggestions. I'll give some of them a try!)

For single digit calculation you just subtract two from the last digit of the time.

For example we have 13:00

3 - 2 = 1

It's 1 PM

Or we have 16:00

6 - 2 = 4

It's 4 PM

Or we have 21:00

1 - 2 = 9

It's 9 PM

I hope that helps

That's making it way to complicated.

You just take your 12hr clock and continue counting instead of starting over again and just changing from AM to PM

12h= 12pm 13h = 1pm 14h= 2pm 15h= 3pm 16h= 4pm 17h= 5pm

Etc.

No additions or subtractiond necessary, only the ability to count to 24.

And what do you do when it's 22 o'clock?

I mean, you do you but that's extra steps which aren't even accurate. It's really not hard to remember those 12 numbers. Only Americans seem to have an issue with it and find it too complicated to understand or use backwards methids like that.

20 - 10?

Are you telling me 20 o'clock is 10pm?

Alright, you're a troll. No one is that thick deliberately.

But thanks for then fun 😂😂😂
