In this case the result should have been :
[1] "Mittwoch, Juli 12, 2023 at 17:26 (CEST)"
which could have been achieved by using %H in the format call: gsub(" |^0", "", format(time, "%H:%M")),
But because of the next line this does not work very well.

You will get an extra space, because 24 hour based formats don't have the option %p.
As you can see, there are two spaces between 5:26 and (CEST) (v0.3.2 currently installed
and in v0.3.3 it would be 05:26 (CEST))

In the second case PM is added, because of the locale, which is correct.
Because of this formatting option time will always be reduced to the 12 hour format. The typical 24 hour format can't be accomplished with this. https://github.com/rstudio/blastula/blob/cdf155be9b821a8e5fed43e3b159baec48bb97be/R/add_readable_time.R#L69 Even changing locale does not work:
