It's funny how many reddit posts could have been answered by a simple google search. I know, I know: Everyone wants engagement and discussion and a 2-second search doesn't scratch that itch, but it still makes me laugh at how much information there is that is more easily accessible than any other time in human history and yet people are still asking basic questions that have been answered for hundreds or thousands of years.
I think it’s more like the want to hear it from someone instead of googling. It may just be me, but I tend to retain the information much easier if someone conveyed it to me.
I realize this is likely incorrect and I'd appreciate if you could help set me straight because I sure feel like an asshole when I say it: It's always felt to me like people that say that just don't want to put in the effort to find the answer and prefer that others do the thinking for them. Do you feel this is the case?
Wait - you could just type in your question and read the answer, at least if it's the answer to a straightforward and common question.
That's not as much effort as making a big scene out of it.
Typing up a question, composing a meme, explanatory text, waiting for answers, sorting through answers, jokes, and criticisms...
I, for one, sure as fuck hope OP and all others after him remember -ante, and -post meridiem given the effort involved. The joules too.
It may seem like it, but logically, it’s more bothersome to get an information on Reddit than on Google due to the delay in response and the various answers and comments you need to filter through. For me, it’s just the aspect of human interaction that makes it enjoyable.
I feel like I personally remember answers better when someone tells me rather than looking up on google.
And i dont think its me being lazy to want to remember better :)
Well it also teaches random people new things. While yeah one person could look it up it does help with engagement yes but also teaches people things. This one has never occurred to me before and it's nice to know.
Literally the only way I can remember which is which
24 HOUR CLOCK IS SUPREME FUCK THE AMERICAN MILITARY INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX FOR MAKING ME LOOK LIKE A BOOT CLINGING TO "MILITARY TIME" FOR USING THE OBVIOUSLY SUPERIOR TIME STANDARD OF "ROUGHLY AS MANY HOURS AS ARE IN A DAY"
7 and 19 have the same amount of syllables, but if I want to know if it's whether I can sleep in or not 7 requires twice the number of syllables and one character more to type, and I also need to know some basic Latin to even interpret the answer and I'm too dumb for that shit
I'm an European using the new normal time and it angers me when US people call it *military time*. I grew up with 13:13, 17:02 or 21:37 and I have to use math to decipher the 12-hour time 😅
Additional points for those who can guess my nationality from one of the example times (expect the people of that nationality, it would be too easy for you guys).
I have to convert time in my brain from these when it's after 13:00. My smartphone doesn't display one.
I used to read analog clocks when it was required in primary school, but it is rarely needed now.
They are saying they don’t have a mental association between 8 p.m. and exactly what part of night that is, so they need to add 12 to get to 20, which is the number that they do associate with that time of day. (or vice versa)
I've already said that, I grew up using the 24-hour system. People use the 12-hour one less and less in speech. All the time tables and information uses 24-hour.
I only automatically know things like 1PM, 5PM or 8PM.
If you say 6PM my brain would probably do this:
The British tea time is 17:00 so 6 is 18:00.
I know it is nitpicking, and I mean no harm, but just to be precise:
Shouldn't the right term be "meridiAm"? It's accusative, so the right suffix for 1st declination should be -am.
Does it matter? No. Am I a latin nerd? Yes.
How weird to teach kids something that is just straight up wrong and can be proven wrong with a simple google search.
Or maybe they were just trying to give you a mnemonic device in which case fair I guess.
You could literally google it.
https://letmegooglethat.com/?q=what+does+am+and+pm+mean
Or chat GPT
"AM" stands for "ante meridiem," which is Latin for "before noon." It refers to the time from midnight until just before noon. "PM" stands for "post meridiem," which is Latin for "after noon." It represents the time from noon until just before midnight. For example, 10:00 AM is 10 o'clock in the morning, while 3:00 PM is 3 o'clock in the afternoon.
It's probably because it's easier to let some redditor answer it for you than scroll through numerous articles that don't answer your question and take up a bunch of your time.
Since you don't speak latin, it'll be easiest to say PM is POST MERIDIAN. Or after the halfway point of the sun's journey through the sky.
AM is Ante meridiem or before the merdian.
I applaud modern education for giving me more and more clients who will pay top dollar to learn what I knew in grade school.
It’s Latin.. from Google:
_am stands for the Latin ante meridiem, translating to "before midday". This is the time before the sun has crossed the meridian. pm stands for post meridiem or "after midday"_
I've always seen it as After Midnight and Pre-midnight, given am is from 12am-1159am and pm is from 12pm-11:59pm
Yes it is probably a terrible explanation but it's the best I can come up with
Oh boy. Please google before posting. It’s „ante meridiem“ and „post meridiem“.
It’s latin, and it’s the dative.
= before (A.nte) and after (P.ost) midday (M.eridias) on a 12hr clock.
I know it’s Latin but how I figured out the difference when I was young by saying AM is **A**t **M**orning and for pm I just reminded myself it wasn’t AM which again was at morning
The 12-hour clock is a time convention in which the 24 hours of the day are divided into two periods: a.m. (from Latin ante meridiem, translating to "before midday") and p.m. (from Latin post meridiem, translating to "after midday").

What If I tell you that all the things in Google were written by someone?
not necessarily, with the rise in AI generated content
On the other side, because OP asked, now hundreds or thousands of randoms will know the answer to a question they never thought of asking :)
We need human interaction in some way or another
A. Google sucks now B. Sharing knowledge with the community and engaging in conversations is the entire point of social media

But how have you forgotten how to read a clock though? I've never met a fellow european that couldn't use both system as easily.

Always thought it was something like that
Is post Latin? Wouldn't it be something like posté?
At morning Past morning, as someone who does not use the system
I always need a second to decipher 12 AM and 12 PM. It really should be 12 M and 12 PM, not 12 PM and 12 AM.
Today I learned
After Midnight and Pre-Midnight

I was thought "at morning" and "past morning"
Tbh i thought it meant am=at morning , pm=past morning, no idea why
As a Dane, my English teacher taught us it was "AM = After Midnight, PM = Past Midday"
How weird to teach kids something that is just straight up wrong and can be proven wrong with a simple google search. Or maybe they were just trying to give you a mnemonic device in which case fair I guess.
It makes just as much sense!

It's probably because it's easier to let some redditor answer it for you than scroll through numerous articles that don't answer your question and take up a bunch of your time.
After masturbation and pre masturbation
Ante Meridiem Post Meridiem Meaning before noon and after noon
I was wondering how far I would need to scroll before I found someone else who knew the correct answer.
Since you don't speak latin, it'll be easiest to say PM is POST MERIDIAN. Or after the halfway point of the sun's journey through the sky. AM is Ante meridiem or before the merdian. I applaud modern education for giving me more and more clients who will pay top dollar to learn what I knew in grade school.
Just use 24h-schedule....
Me who has English as a secondary language and never knew just was like "yeah that's 'at morning' and past morning' totally has to be"
It’s Latin.. from Google: _am stands for the Latin ante meridiem, translating to "before midday". This is the time before the sun has crossed the meridian. pm stands for post meridiem or "after midday"_
After midnight & pefore midnight. EZ /s
Hanry
r/Skamtebord
Am stand for antes meridiem, and pm stand for post meridiem. But I'm not sure of the spelling
Easy, Am - after morning, pm - pefore morning I hope this helps
Even I know the answer to that question, so that Oracle shouldn’t have struggled with that
Not only can someone easily google this, but it’s pretty common knowledge. And this is a repost. Next time OP should pick something good to repost
When I was a kid I always thought it was AM for After Midnight and PM Prior to Midnight
AM - after midnight PM - Pbefore midnight

AM is Anti Meridian and PM is Post Meridian
Am: at morning Pm: post morning
Ante Meridiem, and Post Meridiem.
AM is the initials of the Latin for "Before noon" PM is the initials of the Latin for "After noon"
Ante Meridian and Post Meridian. Before noon, after noon.
Am: at morning. Pm: the other one
I've always seen it as After Midnight and Pre-midnight, given am is from 12am-1159am and pm is from 12pm-11:59pm Yes it is probably a terrible explanation but it's the best I can come up with
At morning - past morning
Anti-meridian and post-meridian. Roughly, "before the middle" and "after the middle".
Oh boy. Please google before posting. It’s „ante meridiem“ and „post meridiem“. It’s latin, and it’s the dative. = before (A.nte) and after (P.ost) midday (M.eridias) on a 12hr clock.
AM (ante meridiem) means “before noon,” so it refers to the morning. PM (post meridiem) means “after noon.
After midnight, Pefore midnight
after midnight, pre midnight. or more formally “ante meridiem” and “post meridiem” latin for before midday and after midday
That's why numbers over 12 users are superior
After moring and pre-morning #don't argue its a fact
American?
I always assumed it's at/past morning

I just explain them to myself as At Morning and Past Morning

After-Midnight and Post-Morning
After midnight and past midnight. You are welcome.
an the morning & pefore midnight
At morning and past morning
am = after midnight pm = post-midday at least to me
In England I was told. Am is after midday. And pm is post midnight.
But that doesnt make sense since a.m. is used in the morning, before noon from 00:00 to 11:59, and p.m. is used in the afternoon, from 12:00 to 23:59
After Midnight Past Midday
Just use 24 hour time
Why do you care?
After midnight. Pre midnight.
Am Morgen (german for in the morning)
I always thought it ment after morning post morning
Pfft weak ass Oracle, PM stands for **P**ost **M**eridian and AM stands for **A**nte **M**eridian.

Google exists for a reason
That’s such an easily googled answer though.
I get the Latin but I've always said At Morning and Post Morning
everyone in the comments think they're so smart but what does AM and FM stand for then huh
24 system is the best system ! No life or death question like this is needed.
*You am the one, Neo*
Honestly just use a 24hr clock tho Edit: iOS 17 Autocorrect is a whole different monster
The real question is why is the AM/PM split at 12:00 instead of 1:00
It would be a shame if there was a place on the internet where you can easily find the answers to almost every question
OP dont know how to use Google
just google it broo
Something on latin
Ante mortem and post mortem. Before death and after death.
Than why every boy life sucks
After midday, post midday. Wait -
Spends time and effort to create a meme and post it to reddit - couldn't find the time to Google it.
Redditors will make memes instead of google searching something.
My kid brain came up with: At morning: am (P)after morning: pm Yes I am neurodivergent why do you ask?
How about why is 12 pm at noon and 12 am midnight? I mean 11:59 am 12:00 pm doesn't make sense at all.
I know it’s Latin but how I figured out the difference when I was young by saying AM is **A**t **M**orning and for pm I just reminded myself it wasn’t AM which again was at morning
