Numbers don't always mean the same thing when it comes to keeping track of time. One great example is with microwaves. When you enter 60 or 100 as a cooking time, it interprets both amounts as one minute- even though it handles every number of seconds up to 99 as what you literally type in. Even worse, if people actually WANT to cook something for 100 seconds, you have to translate it to 1:40 (completely unintuitive) and enter that instead. It doesn't make any sense at all how 0:99 is a legitimate clock reading and 1:99 is not. And don't even get started on fractions- if you want to cook something for a quarter of a minute, you can't just enter "1/4" or "0.25" like with any other form of measurement. Oh no- instead you have to calculate it all out and convert to the faux-base 24/base 60 system. Adding and subtracting times is a pain in the ass too in that you have to convert everything to seconds and then convert everything back again. Clearly the whole system is stupid as fuck.
Therefore we should throw off the shackles of antiquated European timekeeping system and convert to metric time. We should make it so there are 10 hours in a day, 100 minutes in an hour, and 100 seconds in a minute.
