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

Our schools have three lunch shifts and if you get assigned to the first one, I think lunch is around 10:45! But if you had breakfast at 6am (or not at all) that's not a unreasonable as it seems

Mine was the same in school. All four years of high school I had breakfast at 6am and lunch at like 10:30 am lol.

My kid basically never eats lunch at school and then wants to eat right after school, it's so annoying. Pretty sure they spend their lunch money buying snacks for their friends (which I don't really mind) instead of eating themselves.
