PSA. How to set your clocks back one hour if you use military time.

[LuckyCharms]

Here's an example.

It is 7 AM currently at my location. That is 0700 in military time.

One hour is 60 minutes.

0700 minus 60 equals 0640.

So to set my clocks back 1 hour, I would set them at 0640.

1. Ummm...

[Shermann]

2. Nah you would just set it back to 0600 hours nt

3. If you do that

How many years will it take to get you back on track with the rest of us?

The math breaks my mind!

4. It would certainly seem more convenient if Napoleon had tried to...

... standardize time with the decimal system too.

Call the basic units of time "metric-seconds", equal to about 0.864 seconds. Then have 10 total metric-hours a day, with 100 total metric-minutes per metric-hour, and 100 metric-seconds per metric-minute.

5. Hang on a met-sec...

Has a nice ring to it…

7. Since it would be slightly briefer than a second, it would imply...

... that the other person is even more impatient than having to wait a traditional second.

6. I refused to do this

I’m now a time traveler a hour ahead.

8. Lol!

All of those fancy shmancy scientists, complicating things as usual, with their ideas of high-speed travel and gravity wells!

10. Yeah, that's the ticket just go with your internal clock 🙂

How could that go wrong? 💖

9. No.

Going from 7AM to 6AM would be going from 0700 to 0600.

11. Light speed? (n/t)

[jmowreader]

12. That isn't how it works

Military time still uses 60-minute hours.
