Why is this so common? Who the fuck thought 12-hour clocks were a good idea?

It made more sense when there were no digital clocks and like many retarded things stuck around because "it was always that way"

compare with miles, inches, 12 months in year, daylight savings, physical money, etc etc

Anyone used to mechanical clocks?

12 hour clocks are because clocks used to be mechanical with round faces.

but you knew that, right?

Why not just double the number of hours on them?

I wake up to this beauty.

Alas, mine fell apart in 1992.
It's a shame, I liked that clock.

>Why not just double the number of hours on them?

too hard to see and too complicated to engineer.
