@jeder actually I prefer 12hr clock even when living in a country that defaults to 24hr. Most people use 12hr without realizing it by saying like "It's 6 'o'clock in the evening".

yes, AM/PM thing is wasteful, but I have 12hr time on my taskbar without it and it's actually pretty good

though, sometimes I'm looking at the clock, looking outside, and can't tell is it 4am or 4pm

When using something like 12:34 of noun/midnight instead of 12:34 am/pm (any other hours are fine), it's usable.
Unlike fahrenheit/{inch/feet/yard/miles/whatever}.

But as a canonical form I prefer 24h clocks, specifically all required parts of ISO8601, sometimes with day-of-week between date and time.

@vftdan unpopular opinion(?): YYYY-MM-DD, 12hr but without AM/PM, °C, everything else is metric as well

So each string can denote 2 different times?
How about adding am/pm before hours, to preserve lexicographical sortability?

Unix only can 0..23 and 1..12, but not 0..11. Stupid.
Brb, gonna use bc to get custom time format.
