Can you tell the time on an analogue clock?
-
I mean, I _can_ but I feel annoyed about it. When they taught me as a kid I kept thinking "but we can write the numbers now, why do I need to learn to read it this way?". I still mostly feel the same way.
In a sense you could say that an analogue clock is... anachronistic?
I say no, nope ... No way
I'm finding a lot more people wanting an analogue clocks

@MelissaBearTrix I can also tell the time on this #Counterclock…
I really should put a new battery in that sometime…
@arcadiagt5 @MelissaBearTrix Make sure not to put the battery the wrong way around

@MelissaBearTrix I'm sure that's true, but that doesn't mean there's any deeper reason to use analogue time pieces except as jewelery. I believe it's a lot quicker and more effective to read numbers than to parse a clock with hands.
Doesn't mean I don't appreciate the beauty of a mechanical clock, or that people shouldn't buy them, just... It's not mainly about keeping time, is it? Nothing wrong with that.

@MelissaBearTrix @dwillanski mathematical challenge: produce the smallest possible square of letters out of which all times can be produced

When I see a reverse clock it gives me a nightmare ... A had a customer that I had to source 30 of them
And all different, pre internet too ... Giggles

@MelissaBearTrix Chortle. I bought one because I was a fan of the Spider Robinson Callahan’s stories.
When I first got it I pulled a classic funny-once prank at work by sneaking in early one morning to replace one of the wall clocks there. The expressions on my co-workers faces as they tried to work past the “DOES NOT COMPUTE” messages their brains were giving them were hilarious.
But it’s very much a funny-ONCE joke, I never did that again.
