true but ive never heard anyone unironically say 24 hour times in speech even here in england

personally i'm a big fan of yyyy-mm-dd and 24 hour and 12 hour and unix timestamp. they all have their place and purpose

in the case of unix timestamps, i seem to disagree with a lot of people what those are. i think using them in places where you expect humans to look is a bad use of them.

yeah!!

i think tbh this applies to even stuff like text-based protocols (yes json apis you count too) since the point of those is generally to be somewhat human readable? and unix timestamps are not that. and iso 8601 exists and is readable and sensible
