Or any day between 12:00 a.m. and 12:00 p.m.
Or if nobody sees you eat it.
I wish.
Somehow all these nonexistent calories found their way into my scale since October. Can I do a 'clear cache' and purge them back out?3 -

Broken cookies and crackers and chips have no calories.
Period.
And if they fall on the floor, but pick them up and eat them within 3 seconds, you can half the calories again.1 -
Just to add - eating food whilst wearing your baggiest sweatpants, halves the calories whilst eating in your tightest skinny jeans, doubles them.
Fact.3 -

Actually, this one is true! Since there isn't actually such a thing as 12:00 am or 12:00 pm. There's noon. There's midnight. AM is "ante meridiem" or "Before noon." And yes, PM is "post meridiem" or "after noon." This is why you will never see an airline flight scheduled for exactly 12:00. Nobody would know what time it really means. 11:59 am? Yes.
Sorry. Word geek here.2 -

I hope you don't mind me saying this but, in my neck of the woods, that is simply incorrect. For transportation and everything else "official", we don't use a 12 hour format like you do, we use a 24 hour one. So, a flight scheduled for noon would show up as 12h00, and one scheduled for, say, 2.30pm would show up as 14h30.
By the way, out of curiosity, I just checked one of our main airports, and it shows three flights departing tomorrow exactly at 12h (noon).

I don't mind a bit. I use 24-hour format myself. It drives some of my friends crazy. It makes more sense to me. There's no chance of confusion. Because I've ~never~ set my alarm clock for the wrong time and overslept....
And I hope you don't mind ME saying THIS, but in your neck of the woods, there's still no such thing as 12:00 am or 12:00 pm. Midnight is 0:00 and noon is 12:00. I would embrace getting rid of AM and PM and going to 24 hour format.
And while we're at it, I would love it if we got rid of daylight saving time. It's evil.4 -

And further - why not also get rid of time zones. Why not have a single time across the world. What does it matter if in some places, you’re eating breakfast at 18h00? It doesn’t change when the sun rises and sets just because of what we call it.

Yes! I couldn't agree more. I rant about it every single year (to no avail...).

Calories don't count in the hour we reclaim when we switch back from Daylight Savings Time to Standard Time.
But I don't like to eat that late/early, so it won't help.0 -
yes that hour is officially non existent.
found that our when I used to work shift work - if you work night shift when daylights saving changes over you still get paid same amount eg 8 hours whether it was actually 7 hours or 9 hours.3
