I can code a AM/PM system with SB.
I have.
Support, 24-hour is kinda hard to understand, plus it's easy to implement.

Simple Scratchblocks code for AM/PM:
if <(current [hour v]) > [12]> then
set [hour v] to ((current [hour v]) - (12))
set [AM/PM v] to [PM]
else
set [hour v] to (current [hour v])
set [AM/PM v] to [AM]
end

If it's this simple in Scratchblocks, when why shouldn't it be as simple in HTML/CSS/JavaScript?

Support, can be useful.

I am a scratcher who used to be really active on the forums 5 or 6 years ago, I basically quit scratch since then but I still check out the website from time to time. Do not expect asap replies because scratch is really at the back of my head

Support, even though it takes 5 seconds to subtract 12 from the hour in p.m., it something I would like to see in scratch.

12 vs. 24 Hours

No support. Mainly because a lot of the world uses a 24 hour clock, and I would think it would be rather annoying to convert between am and pm than the simple math used to figure out the time on a 24 hour clock. Heck, I've lived in America my whole life, and I still hesitate when someone says something about 12 pm because I think they're talking about midnight

Uhhh… it would be an OPTION that you could switch, not something you would be forced to use.

12 vs. 24 Hours

This represents the hour…
(((current [hour v]) - (1)) mod (12)) + (1)
This represents the minute
(join (letter (length of (current [minute v])) of [0]) (current [minute v]))
AM/PM
(join (letter ((length of <<(current [hour v]) > [11]> and <(current [hour v]) < [24]>>) - (2)) of [PA]) [M])
Oh and just in case you need the seconds counted…
(letter (((current [second v]) mod (2)) + (1)) of [ :])

I do agree; really, what is the point of it, if only about 3-6% of the world use it? Everywhere else, the 24 hour clock is used. An alternate suggestion; we can choose between 24 hour and 12 hour.

That's exactly what the original poster said. You can switch. -_-

Anyways, support! A lot of people here don't realise that Scratch is a kid's website and I didn't learn the 24-hour clock until I was about 8 or 9. So yes, this would be very useful to the younger kids of Scratch.

support, 24 hour clock is very hard for me, and it being 12 hour would make it so much easier to tell when a post was posted

I'm switching to support; we all have conveniences and my old post is outdated from how I think today.
