In Ethiopia they still use the tradition time where the day starts at the 1:00 which is our 6am. Then 12:00 is our 6PM, and it starts over. So they have 2 cycles of 12 hours, one for daytime, and one for night time. And it felt somewhat more intuitively in conversation too.

I think I remember watching a YouTube video about different systems. There are more exotic ones beyond the 12h/24h binary

Sure, but I guess either only used in particular environments (e.g. religious settings) or in pretty disconnected places from the rest of the world.
