minus-squarefoggy@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·4 hours ago5 am is morning. Because the sun is up like 40 percent of places 40 percent of the time. But that’s not your argument. Your argument is that midnight makes no sense. You’re wrong. 12 noon is noon. 12 midnight is MIDDLE of the night. Noon is when the sun is on average the highest. Midnight is on average when the sun is the lowest. None of this is inconsistent. It makes perfect sense. Your inability to grasp this is a personal issue.
