The day should start at like… Equatorial dawn or something.

    I forget which exact midnight represents, but the immediate second after midnight would be the ‘morning’ of the next day. If you’re born at 12:00:01am or 00:00:01 in military time, then you’d be born the next day.

      Right, but midnight is the mid of the night, so it’s still night 1 second after midnight, it’s not morning of the following day.

        People call it early morning. I dunno what to say dude. You’re fighting against how long? of established nomenclature

          People don’t typically call immedi after midnight “early morning”.

          But also this is a silly post.
          maybe I should have said “unsatisfying” instead of “sucks”. The way the calendar works doesn’t match how we typically intuit a day.
