@tretron@bark.lgbt if there's some confusion if 00:00 or 12:00 (24hr) is "12am", it's resolved as soon as it hits 00:00:00.01 (12:00:0.01 am) or 12:00:00.01pm - for every use case where it's not important enough to use 24hr or UTC, you treat 12:00:00 the same as 12:00:01 - it's pm
this is primary school stuff in countries that use am/pm, so looking it up I'm surprised the US government standard was backwards for so long (2008!), but it seems like at least governments are all on the same page now

@tretron@bark.lgbt i thought about it more - i think my point is that it's objective, as in it's not based on a subjective opinion, but it's still ambiguous, so it's best to be clear (or just use 24hr time)
