As a child I grew up on a 12 hour clock.
18-20 I had to learn 24 hour clock and use it all the time (heh).
Now as an adult I try to stay 24h but I still mentally swap 24h to 12h in my head.
So I look at the clock see 13:00 and think ok it’s 1:00pm.
So far, so good… When on a treadmill/bike watching the timer go up, I sometimes have mild confusion.
I’m doing 15:00 on this machine, ok the timer says 13:00… I have 4 minutes left. I realize my quick math and time recognition frameworks are colliding. The 13:00 gets quick swapped to a 1, and I then I do 5-1… I’ve noticed this on multiple days, even though I know it’s wrong.
Not sure of the right term for this, anyone else have this kind of coding confusion?
I also do that. I’ve missed appointments because of it even. I’ve learned to just repeat in 24 hour format and get a confirmation to make sure I didn’t fuck it up (helps that I live in a country where 24 hour is the default in everything other than speech, where it’s mixed, so there’s 0 chance the other person will have trouble with 24 hour time).
