If you want to convert people who use imperial then don’t be an asshole and alienate them. But if you are gonna be an asshole at least be right about the thing you are talking about. I know metric time is largely forgotten but at least have a basic understanding if you want to talk shit.

Goddamn I thought you had reading comprehension for a second there, my mistake.
The best solution is a hybrid system, which we already use…
and
if you are in a country that already used metric, guess what your time keeping system is from? From the older imperial system!
Here is an article for metric time: https://metrictime.info/ Does that look that look like the classic 24 hours in a day system most people use? No? Congrats than you learned something today.
Honestly I never really have fully gotten the whole metric vs imperial debate. The best solution is a hybrid system, which we already use and most people don’t realize it. Like if you are in a country that already used metric, guess what your time keeping system is from? From the older imperial system! Guess what you use if you are in an imperial country? You use liters, milliliters, gram and milligrams for stuff already! Just mix the two so you have the best of both worlds rather than try to remain dogmatically stuck with an objectively worse version of either system.

What next you are going to ask how many inches in a mile? Those are two units that aren’t used in the same context. I’d be like if I asked you how many seconds are in a year. Or if I asked you how big a notebook is in kilometers, rather than in centimeters.
A hybrid system really isn’t as wild of a concept as it sounds. We already just use conventional time keeping, metric is largely forgotten because of how unhelpful it was. https://metrictime.info/
Doesn’t mean you have to take all of the weird units and conversions from imperial but it means to cherry pick the best of both worlds so we have a system that just works with what real people use it for.
