The roads and buildings suggest that it’s mostly built on land and only somewhat reaches over the water.

In general?

Everything after midday is PM. 12:00:00.00000001 is after midday. Therefore it can only be PM.

That’s the logic I use :)

I would be interested in knowing whether this was said with sarcasm or without. Because both are plausible!

Depends on what you mean with “showing time”. They won’t be showing the correct time, that’s true. But.

in the Southern hemisphere logic flips completely.

In the southern hemisphere they think Australia is suitable for human life.

At least some North American indigenous peoples say something akin to “with the sun”. And I think in yoga terminology they have a similar phrasing, or am I mistaken?

I wouldn’t blame the Babylonians for us breaking the good standard and going 58, 59, 60, 61, 62 instead of the 58, 59, 100, 101, 102 that works just fine. They were first, we are the ones who added a new system aside the old one instead of replacing it.

How would “more wars” solve this, in your opinion?

Agricultural exports are a very important part of Ukraine’s economy. The climate change will reduce our planet’s food output very much even in a relatively short term. Whether Ukraine can fully use its best agricultural land or not, makes an extremely important difference in the coming decades.

If that was the case, we would now be talking about 48 h clocks vs. 24 h clocks.

18:40 pm on the 24h clock would equal 36:40 on the 48 h clock. You would still not know whether it’s night or day just looking at the time.

…and then they noticed: “Damn, we could have lit everything on fire and seen our clocks in the night time millenia ago!”

Almost half of all black soil on this planet is located in Ukraine. And by far the most fertile soil in Ukraine is… Here, where the colour is at its darkest:

Ein, zwei, drei, fire, funf, sechs, seben, acht, neun, zein, elf, zwolf, dreizein…

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen…

Yksi, kaksi, kolme, neljä, viisi, kuusi, seitsemän, kahdeksan, yhdeksän, kymmenen, yksitoista, kaksitoista, kolmetoista…

(though, notice that our words for “eight” and “nine” are derived from those for “two” and “one”. We used base 8 before migrating to Europe and applying the local standard. Then it was "two left until the new ten and “one left until the new ten”
With base 8 you can use your fingers to count up to 24 because you can use your thumbs for marking the “tens”. Or to 32, but that already takes a little bit of an effort because from my perspective your left thumb is on the right.)

But yeah, base 10 is the worst. 12 can be divided by 3 without problems. And base 8 allows counting far higher with just fingers.

*Being evolution of sundials located on the northern hemisphere.

Clocks were sundials.

If you can see the time, it’s not night.

Isn’t this what Lembit Funk was telling about when teaching us about that archaic musical instrument?

There has been talk of them changing the engine for a European one. Even the engine they would use has been mentioned. Though, I cannot remember which one it is!

Nah, it’s just the three Lemmy instances of endless horror. Regarding making Fediverse more popular, our most important thing is to make sure that people understand to ignore anything that comes from that holy trinity of limitless stalinist madness :)
