Alphabetical clock

@catsalad Looking at that clock is like inverting the vertical axis of your mouse for one day. Retraining causes massive neural disassociation, leaving you unable to use a mouse after switching back to what you believed to have mastered.
I have set the keyboard layout on my phone so that it runs on the QWERTY keyboard layout when using English language and on the Dvorak keyboard layout when typing in German. It took two weeks to be fluent on both layouts and now my brain doesn't even notice the difference anymore.

@catsalad I hate you and I hate this clock. My eyes are cursed and my tears will be forever tainted. I am less useful for spell components now. I don't like this fact.

@catsalad@infosec.exchange
Totally wrong it should be 8 3 1 11 9 10 12 2 4 5 6 7 (acht drie een elf negen tien twaalf twee vier vijf zes zeven)@catsalad@infosec.exchange
Or maybe.... 5 2 10 12 8 9 11 4 7 6 3 1 (cinq deux dix douze huit neuf onze quatre sept six trois un) -

@catsalad Djeez! you scared me with this huge clock at start feed refresh! -
The time is now EI:FOEL

@catsalad The obvious accessory is a one-year one-page alphabetical calendar to hang underneath it.

The perfect clock to curse someone with. I think it's made me cross-eyed. -
@catsalad I kind-of want to see one work, which would involving jumping around, especially if the minute ticks are also alphabetical.
Someone is ahead of you and made a watch that works that way. Oh, and it’s purely mechanical.

Nope.Acht-elf-vijf-vier-negen- een-zeven-zes-tien-drie-twaalf-twee.
@sjaakkeuvelaar @catsalad that's not alphabetical, that's alfabetisch

@feliz @catsalad Yeah, up to a certain age, you can retrain. Specialization always takes a toll, though.
My grandma lived her entire life in the same appartment with a balcony door lever on the right side. At the age of 70, they installed a new door with the lever on the left side. Strong neural connections made her hand instinctively reach to the right side at first try for years after.
For strong sensory feedback specialization, neural adaptation is very limited.

Replied in a sub, but there is a mechanical watch that essentially works this way. The hour hand skips to the appropriate hour. Note that it makes the same distance jump—5 clock hours each hour. Still, an amazing bit of ingenuity in watchmaking.
