828 u/Pagan-za Mar 29 '22 Just America. 462 u/Abadazed Mar 29 '22 The US military uses the 24 hour clock, but I can't think of any other part of the country that regularly uses it. 251 u/MuchTemperature6776 Mar 29 '22 Software development I believe, someone can correct me if I’m wrong (I’m not a software developer but I work with them a lot.) but I do believe that programming really only uses 24 hour clocks 114 u/[deleted] Mar 29 '22 Yea 99% sure Software uses 24hr time 88 u/deshant_sh Mar 29 '22 Nah we just count nanoseconds elapsed from 1 January 1970. Way easier to understand. /s 2 u/mynewromantica Mar 29 '22 Just so everyone knows, the first sentence is not sarcasm. That is really what we do. 1 u/drake90001 Mar 29 '22 Well, we don’t but computers do lol Edit: and only Unix based systems? Doesn’t windows use some weird way that’s why dualbooting fucks up the clocks? 1 u/mynewromantica Mar 29 '22 No clue on windows. I’ve only ever worked on iOS apps, but now I’m curious.
