I'm in a country that uses military time (ie 24 hour clock) and I just can't understand not using it as a standard. It's far easier to organize and you can't get confused between AM and PM.

Metric put men on the moon, the readouts were in imperial because you fucked your astronauts so bad in the head during pilot training they couldn't read metric.

The fucking Romans divided a foot by twelve, we came up with something better to apologize and you were to retarded to understand it

Metric is literally a brainlet system for people who can't count past 10 and can't handle working with non-round numbers. It's a remedial system for the uncivilized. Too simple to be useful to serious people.

In tabletop RPGs I find it less autistic to count movement in steps of 5 feets rather than steps of 1.5 meters. Burgerland has a point.

Well, we kinda do already. My phon has "military time" and so has my computer. But if you add it now to the language you'd sound straight out of a jarhead camp and no one wants to sound like that. I'd like to say to a friend "I'll meet you at 22:30" But I'd sound weird.

good point, i believe Americans specifically don't use military time due to it sounding too long when pronouncing it- if a nation with similar language in terms of counting were ever to implement military time for regular use across the nation, it would probably be only for text (digital clocks, news, etc).
however;
you can't get confused between AM and PM
