Something that’s been growing on me, but that I’m still unsure of, is 24-hour time that goes beyond 24 to reference the next day. I was in Japan recently, and there were many restaurants that would write their opening hours as, for example, 18:00 - 25:30, to represent that they are open until 01:30 the next day. Was confusing at first, but makes maths easier and means that intervals of time never count backwards!
From memory, OpenStreetMap use this system, too.
Japanese people that understand 24h notation‽
In my experience with language exchange I’ve always had the issue that language exchange partners didn’t understand 24h notation at all!
I also can’t remember seeing this notation on opening times in my visits there, but maybe I haven’t been paying close attention…

Sounds sick! I’m in favor of standardizing this.
