Adding 12 to a number isnt that hard

[-] Feathercrown@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Neither is subtracting it. It appears we are at an impasse

[-] itslilith 3 points 1 year ago

Guessing if you need to subtract it is, however

[-] Feathercrown@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Gee it's 16:00, I wonder if I should subtract 12 to convert the time

[-] calcopiritus@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Guessing each time if 12 needs to be added (with usually important consequences if you guess wrong) is.

[-] RandomVideos@programming.dev 4 points 1 year ago

If you need to guess to convert, wouldnt you need to guess if its AM or PM?

[-] calcopiritus@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Yes. You need to guess if it's AM or PM. That's what the comment is about.

If whoever says the time uses 24h or explicitly says AM/PM there's no guessing involved.

Are you ten years old or something? How is telling time this difficult for you?

[-] RandomVideos@programming.dev 1 points 1 year ago

I got confused by the message i was replying to, thinking they were saying that you have to guess to convert between the 2

[-] TachyonTele@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Until i saw people excluding the AM/PM. What does 6:30-2:30 mean? Are you working -4 hours? Are you working from 18:30 to 2:30 or from 6:30 to 14:30? Why do people choose this time format?

No, this is what is confusing you. It's like you never had any simple education, or you're completely unaware of your surroundings.

How is it possible to be so confused about clocks?

[-] RandomVideos@programming.dev 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I can easily read clocks

I can easily understand time with AM/PM

People writing time without AM/PM is the part i dont understand

[-] TachyonTele@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

I rest my case, your honor.
