Can you tell the time on an analogue clock?

@bruce

That is a bit of a trick ... Give it a day or three ... Giggles

Do yourself a favour, dust it regularly ... If you have compressed air, make sure it isn't moist or drops when the air comes out

Why, the dust will turn to concrete, and the moisture will swell the "wood"

@MelissaBearTrix @yourfutureex We have a friend that cannot read analog clocks. She’s a schoolteacher. It’s slightly concerning.

@MelissaBearTrix @saramg probably more relevantly, my teenage children can also tell time on an analog clock

[quietmarc@kolektiva.social]

@MelissaBearTrix Can I *be* on time with an analogue clock, or any clock, or any number of clocks? Um.......

[mxalba@blahaj.zone]

@MelissaBearTrix@gives.hugz.online

Of course! In fact, I've taken to wearing an analog watch again...

[astate@piaille.fr]

@MelissaBearTrix yes I can, but it takes me at least five seconds and an ugly dumb face.

@Thegriffyn thanks . @MsDropbear42 @MelissaBearTrix

@MelissaBearTrix @yourfutureex In her defense, she’s an art teacher.

But still…

@MelissaBearTrix @TicklishHoneyBee In primary school I seem to recall a unit in math class about reading time on an analog clock. It continues to be my preferred way of telling time. (I have a watch that has dots on the number positions; I lift the crystal to read it.

@MelissaBearTrix
yes, and I believe my kids can too

@cheri

@MelissaBearTrix Learned as a kid tho add 12 to. translate from TV schedule to the clock on the wall.

[bbeaker@toot.community]

@MelissaBearTrix Well I can repair analog clocks. Mechanical most of the time., quartz it's a replace the timing module. Digital, forget it, unrepairable, fault is usually under that blob of tar on the PCB.

[marjolica@social.linux.pizza]

@MelissaBearTrix yes, +/- 12 hours.
Noting I still wear a solar quartz analogue watch on my wrist.

[julesbl@mastodon.me.uk]

@MelissaBearTrix
Yes I can, though it can sometimes take a while

[paulnickson@mastodon.social]

@MelissaBearTrix I prefer analogue clocks.

[agowa338@chaos.social]

@MelissaBearTrix No, cause I don't have one. How would I use something I don't have to tell the time? /s

[teezeh@ieji.de]

@MelissaBearTrix Is this a serious question?
