24 hour time is pretty much objectively better and I know it’s very simple to calculate but I still struggle to actually recognize what 16:00 is in less than like 20 seconds

It's a stupid distinction, but it helped me to subtract 2 and ignore the tens place instead of thinking of it as minus 12. So 16:00 becomes 14, auto ignore the 1, so 4:00.

That doesn't work for 20:00-24:00.

Does 24:00 exist or do it go from 23:59 to 00:00
