Perfectly illustrates how it doesn’t make sense.
I can get behind
11.30pm
12.30pm
1.30am
Or
11.30pm
0.30am
1.30am
But
11.30pm
12.30am
1.30am
just doesn’t make sense.

i would like to suggest, instead of 1230pm and 1230am we do 1230m and 1230n. one for midnight and one for noon. or one for night and one for munchies. i forget.

You start counting the hours to the next noon at midnight, duh. That's why it's ante-meridian, and the beginning of a new day. If you want to go around calling it 00:30, most people would understand, even in America.

Did you mix up the first and third place? Because if 12:00 is "m", it makes more sense for 12:30am to be night.
