| 00:16 | <sffc> | Hmm if you work the graveyard shift and work from 11pm to 7am, do you say you work from -01:00 to 07:00 or from 23:00 to 31:00? |
| 00:53 | <rkirsling> | heh, definitely haven't seen a negative one |
| 00:53 | <rkirsling> | also haven't heard these used in speech (except like, if a restaurant were reading off its hours aloud) |
| 00:54 | <rkirsling> | basically the above image raises the question of when you'd call it quits and why |
| 00:57 | <rkirsling> | I feel like 29 is okay because (1) it still starts with a 2 and (2) 5:00am is still easy to view as belonging to the previous night |
| 00:58 | <rkirsling> | those two factors are actually an interesting coincidence -- viewing 6am as the beginning of the day is natural and viewing 30:00 as "too far because of the 3" is also natural |
| 01:03 | <rkirsling> | but I think a restaurant/bar open 'til 5am is still far more likely to write ...〜翌5時 ("next (day) 5 o'clock") |
| 01:04 | <rkirsling> | oh whoa TIL. it actually is referred to as a 30-hour clock: https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/30時間制 |
| 01:04 | <rkirsling> | there's no English article for this, it seems |
| 01:06 | <rkirsling> | though it does have a paragraph here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Date_and_time_notation_in_Japan#Time |
| 01:11 | <rkirsling> | that's great because I wasn't sure how to view this as a coherent Intl/CLDR feature otherwise |
