11AM is morning. So 12AM should follow that and be noon.
Who made up this lame system?!
-is waiting for a delivery that will be done before 12AM and it’s past noon-

You have to think of 12:00 as zero.
Nah, it still doesn’t make sense.
This is some low effort bait.

Never did make sense. Only thing to say is to think like Rick and Morty - “Don’t think about it.”

Nope, just European and annoyed by this weird system. Why does Wow use it too?
Again, such weak bait. Your trolling game is lame.
Think of a ring with 24 notches on it. Half the ring is white, while the other is black. The entire time. Each notch is labeled with a number from 1-12. The points where the white and the black meet are exactly on that 12:00 mark. That point marks the transition.
So, each 12 mark is the transition to the next set, hence the transition to morning hours is marked AM, and vice versa.

Just use a 24 hour clock. Less confusing. Heck, I bet your computer, tablet, and phone are all capable of translating archaic 12 hour clock times to 24 hours.

I do! which is why this AM/PM system confuses me so much. But this delivery site seems to be american or something?
Yea but then why doesn’t 11.59 am go to 12.00 am? that is my confusion. LOL
‘military time’ actually makes sense.

You can call it 12:00 AM if you want, but as soon as it advances to 12:00:00.001 it’s PM.
To get to the other side.
Because I became curious:
" noon (n.)
mid-12c., non “midday,” in exact use, “12 o’clock p.m.,” also “midday meal,” from Old English non “3 o’clock p.m., the ninth hour from sunrise,” also “the canonical hour of nones,” from Latin nona hora “ninth hour” of daylight, by Roman and ecclesiastical reckoning about 3 p.m., from nona, fem. singular of nonus “ninth,” contracted from *novenos, from novem “nine” (see nine).
The sense shift from “3 p.m.” to “12 p.m.” began during 12c., and various reasons are given for it, such as unreliability of medieval time-keeping devices and the seasonal elasticity of the hours of daylight in northern regions. In monasteries and on holy days, fasting ended at nones, which perhaps offered another incentive to nudge it up the clock. Or perhaps the sense shift was based on an advance in the customary time of the (secular) midday meal. Whatever the cause, the meaning change from “ninth hour” to “sixth hour” seems to have been complete by 14c. (the same evolution is in Dutch noen).
From 17c. to 19c., noon sometimes also meant “midnight” (the noon of the night)."
