Can you tell the time on an analogue clock?

Time is just a myth perpetuated by the manufacturers of Space.

@MelissaBearTrix I recently started wearing an analogue wristwatch again, so yeah. I got one with numbers rather than indicator marks cus that's my preference, but I CAN use a numberless analouge clock too if I have to.

@cptbutton@dice.camp @MelissaBearTrix@gives.hugz.online hey, but space is really big! i mean, you might think it's a long way to the chemist's, but that's nothing compared to space!

@ireneista

Nope

@MelissaBearTrix I am the kid from that one image that's just a drawing of a digital clock with the prompt "draw a clock that shows 10 minutes past 11" so what do you think

@MelissaBearTrix

Yes but I prefer this style:

@MelissaBearTrix Yes, but I would have to look up how to read a binary clock while expecting many other users of the Fediverse know how to read one.

@MsDropbear42 not if you’re desperate for something at the chemist’s! 🤭

@MelissaBearTrix My youngish coworkers are so confused when I use terms like "half past" or "a quarter to"

[melissabeartrix@gives.hugz.online]

@bbamok

Try other numbers like 20 to ... Giggles

@MelissaBearTrix I became worse at it over time. But I learned it as a child and can still do it when necessary. Just not as quickly as I used to.

[xfts@fuzzies.wtf]

@MelissaBearTrix if they don't teach this in schools anymore I am severely disappointed

[sunumbral@beige.party]

@MelissaBearTrix It's a quarter to ten of the clock lol

[sodiboo@gaysex.cloud]

@MelissaBearTrix@gives.hugz.online yeah, but it takes some mental effort . it's not like i glance at it and immediately know

[drjlecter@beige.party]

@MelissaBearTrix I can't read the time with digital clocks. I look at one, see numbers, brain fizzes out.

[sparkles@ck.catwithaclari.net]

@sodiboo@gaysex.cloud @MelissaBearTrix@gives.hugz.online i need to count the minutes sometimes but I can definitely tell

[cheri@snug.moe]

@MelissaBearTrix yes but in all honesty it takes me a second to properly comprehend it cuz naturally i think in 24h format time more than 12h format and i kinda have to convert in my head

And, of course, the best response to that - at least, if it's about 3:34 or 3:35 AM...
