I feel like the choice of time of day (24hr clock) for the screenshot might have been an attempt at being prophetic.
This is one of those situations where explaining why I said what I said, when I said it, in the way that I said it, and bring into question whether I could have worded any of it better takes way more time than a glib aside. Something adjacent to the Bullsh*t Asymmetry principle, if not an instance.
Anyway, I was trying to encompass those folks who tend to set their system time to 12hr, and wasn't really saying anything one way or the other about whether the person who made the screenshot (OP it seems) generally has their system set that way or not. It was more pointing out that having it be 24hr (or leaving it that way) makes the time look a bit like a year in the not-too-distant future (2028), and thus could form part of the date that is otherwise displayed.
It could be that the whole thing is a coincidence, but I was pointing out that it could have been part of the joke.
