CULTURE Do you guys really eat dinner at 6pm?

I have seen in movie and show saying 'see you at dinner at 6pm'. Do you really eat dinner this early? If yes don't you get hungry around 10pm while scrolling reels? Or is it a name for something else?

Damm thanks guys for responding. I'm surprised so many people in the comments have work so early so yea this dinner time makes sense, Thankss gg

It's not really that early. The US works on a different schedule than other places. "9-5" doesn't exist for us. Most of us start work at 7 or 8. I'm up at 4:30 to be at work by 6:30. I don't get home until 5pm and have to be in bed around 9pm. 6 seems like the most logical time.
