well, but more importantly, what day is it on?

If I say:

2019-08-20 at 00:00UTC I think I can guess this to be the very start of
that day, perhaps?

2019-08-29 at 24:00UTC is... what? the last miliseconds of that day and
thus really right next to 2019-08-30 00:00UTC?

If I say: 2019-09-29 at 18:00UTC we all know what time I mean I think,
or at least it's more clear than 00:00 and 24:00.
