AM/PM and Imperial Units are awesome.Why.
AM/PM is like splitting the year in two, and calling the first six months January A, February A, March A, April A, May A and June A, and then the last six months January B, February B, March B, April B, May B and June B. 100% pointless. :P+1

I just prefer, and find it easier, to have the time split into am/pm than having it carry on making me have to bind one number to another.What number to another?
I care. Because "it's always been this way, we're used to it, it's the easiest not to change" is the classic conservative argument which is always used to stop us from changing to more logical, rational systems, whether it's the metric or any other system.Yeah...
Ofc the benefit might not be as great if we have to fundamentally change our systems every century.Not really, because if we hadn't made the system more "updated" then we'd just be further behind the optimal system to use, causing many many more problems and inconsistencies and inconveniences.
Not really, because if we hadn't made the system more "updated" then we'd just be further behind the optimal system to use, causing many many more problems and inconsistencies and inconveniences.Yes, true in many cases, but it's not always that gradual improvements are possible. That's what I meant by "fundamentally". Like if we decide to change to, say, base 8 in society, because we for whatever find that base 8 is much more useful (think computer base 2 for example, and bytes). What if we then for some reason find out that base 12 or 16 would be even better one century later? If we then had changed our time system from this deeply obsolete system made in a base-60 context, now in our base-8 society (and let's say all other units too), if we changed them to base-8, it would (hardly) be better than the base-60 time system for time when we used base-10 in society. If you don't agree I'm sure there are other examples where it could be the case. Then changing often could become a bigger burden than using the outdated system.
Like using an Earth sundial marked with the 12-hour scale on Enceladus.
Calculating in general, without calculators (kol who even does that anymore), I'm not sure whether having more numbers would make it harder to calculate in that case.all the little children that believe that

I'm not for 24 hour clocks at all. I'd be for implementing something with 10 or 100 hours pr. day since we have a number system based on 10 and not 60 now. It'll take some time to get used to, but I think people would by far prefer it in the future, because once you get used to it, it'll be easier.
