[–] corvi@lemmy.zip 35 points 4 months ago (2 children) Only inasmuch as I have to count from 12 because I don’t have the built-in instinct for that time format. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] fartographer@lemmy.world 4 points 4 months ago (1 child) If you see a two-digit number beginning with 1, drop the first number and subtract two from the second number. If your sum is negative, it's that many hours before noon. If your number begins with 2, do the same thing. If your number is negative, it's that many hours before 10pm. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Aedis@lemmy.world 41 points 4 months ago (3 children) Anything to not subtract 12 permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 6 child comments replies: [–] fartographer@lemmy.world 6 points 4 months ago I didn't even know what that number says permalink fedilink source parent [–] tourist@lemmy.world 3 points 4 months ago One time I was on shrooms in the PMs and it was really hard to figure out what the time was. The literal digits and the concept of time itself at some point. Otherwise, never had an issue. Also, is 24hour time not default on most phones? Or did I do that and forget about it at some point, and it's only me, never paying attention to the time on other people's phones permalink fedilink source parent [–] MrKoyun@lemmy.world 1 point 4 months ago* Yeah lol, that's way more mental gymnastics than just adding/subtracting 12. I dont even bother with the whole 12, I just add and subtract 2 and my mind kind of deals with the extra 10 hours I'm too lazy to deal with. permalink fedilink source parent [–] AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world 1 point 4 months ago You'd get that instinct within at most a week though. permalink fedilink source parent
