The first set of numbers is likely AM and the second set of numbers is likely PM

[–] pastermil@sh.itjust.works 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Yeah, some AM/PM would be nice, otherwise people would assume 24-hr.

[–] yonder@sh.itjust.works 2 points 4 months ago (1 children)

This is actually the best part of 24 hour time. No suffixes.

[–] pastermil@sh.itjust.works 1 points 4 months ago

Exactly what I thought. We commonly use that format here, so if there's no AM/PM, we'd assume such.

And then there are Americans...
