24 hour analogue clocks exist. I have a 24 hour watch which only revolves once per 24 hours. It’s a disadvantage though.
The reason why clocks and watches display 12 hours at a time is so that they have space to show finer resolution of time. If you try to cram 24 hours onto a clock, it’s not easy to tell if it’s 12:20 or 12:30 at a quick glance.
Most people are not too stupid to be aware of if they are in the first 12 hours or second 12 hours of a day, so they benefit from a watch with 12 hour timescale and finer resolution so that they can more easily see exactly what time it is.
And for all the dummies posting about 12h vs 24h clocks. In the sense of saying that it’s 1pm vs 13:00. That’s not what this meme is even describing. This is about the physical layout of a clock or watch face.
This is what the minute and second hands are for, though
Only noobs start counting at 1. Midnight = 24:00 = 00:00
The clock makes so much more sense when you rewrite the 12 as a 0
Clocks are based on sundials. The little hand roughly follows where a shadow would be. The rest is just what people agreed on made the most sense.
Babylonians: I see this as a complete win.
Haven’t seen this one this week. Thanks
Oh also the hours will start at 1 and the minutes will start at 0
Another classic meme. Love to see it getting a proper repost after all these long weeks.
Isn’t this a standup routine?
