      Lol. Military time. Just the 24 hour clock. Military time doesn’t have the “:” separator.

    2. Military time? Its a digital watch using a 24h time format. Theres nothing military about it. It is the format used by the overwhelming majority on this planet.

    3. I sometimes forget Americans call time ‘militairy time’, as if days don’t contain 24 hours by default.

    4. I learned that some cultures and subsequent computer systems use overlapping time, so if you start your shift at 8pm and work to 4am, they write that at 20:00 – 28:00. I suspect this isn’t the case here though. 😀

      Americans are confused about Europeans using ‘military time’, but at any point when they have to spell something out they immediately go to the NATO alphabet like they’re calling in an airstrike.

      That’s just the 24 hour clock. The railway in the UK runs on the 24 hour clock – less ambiguity and confusion.

      Lol I do this occasionally for fun or out of sheer exhaustion. I’ve looked at a faceless clock more than once and told someone it’s 22:75 or whatnot.
