It's literally the default setting on phones and computers in most of the world, right?

yeah but I think americans pronounce it differently for some reason

instead of just saying 16, they say 16 hundred hours. this is despite the fact that very few days are even 25 hours long, most days averaging around 24 or so. the american people are not intellectual, to put it mildly

16:00 = 16 hundred because the us military are all crayon eaters

you hear "16 " on a radio was it 16:00 or 16:30 but the signal got cut?

It’s culture-dependent and set when you specify English (US) on the first boot.
