Dumbass just has it upside down it’s actually just LL:6
Ah that make sense . These karma whores i tell ya.
That’s why you should always include a banana in the picture. Then we can tell if the clock is right side up in relation to the banana.
Banana for orientation
did you just assume my orientation?
I guess that depends what you do with the banana
LL:6 already! I’m late for my harmonica recital!
11037
The thermometer Celsius sign and the precipitation percentage sign indicate that this is in fact the correct orientation
Maybe it’s in Spanish mode.
You mean
%65
And
)•L1
Both seem like perfectly cromulant measurements to me.
I think that was sarcasm.
You Americans with your imperial system. 9:77 o’clock is 10:17 in metric. /s
I see the s, but you have it backwards. 9:77 is clearly metric time, with 100 minutes per hour…
ackshually … the French really tried something like that https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decimal_time
OP said Kmart, Kmart is dead in the USA, so the buyer is probably Australian or New Zealander.
or it’s a tweet from 10+ years ago
Which makes waaaaaay more sense as everyone uses their phone for alarms now rather than a fucking clock lmao
Also the clock says it’s 17 degrees Celsius, although to be fair I think it’s established that the clock is unreliable.
I assume the 59% is humidity? So they took the time to make the clock indicate humidity but couldn’t make it indicate time.
No it is just 59% just in case you need to know how much percent it is.
how much percent what is?
It
Maybe it’s a certainty. The clock is 59% sure that it is 9:77 right now.
What are the laws in the US regarding this? In Germany, this clock is clearly defective and must be repaired or replaced or refunded by the vendor at no additional charge.
You could definitely get it repaired/replaced by the manufacturer
But, would you? You can probably return it to where you bought it, but that’s at least 10 mins of your life.
You could also throw it in the trash… That takes 0 minutes. That’s what they hope you’ll do, and so every other option is made possible, but frustrating
Please recycle electronics. Thanks!
How? I recycle e-waste personally, because I find disassembling it relaxing.
What is a normal person meant to do? I’ve been asked and I don’t know what to tell them
In most places you can return it back for any reason and without one, if you still have a receipt.
At least within a relatively short time period, like 30 or 90 days.
But how do you measure time if the clock is broken?
You count? one mississipi, two mississipi etc
Clearly it’s set to metric time
9.7 kiloseconds for my metric friends
Decimal time is the representation of the time of day using units which are decimally related. This term is often used specifically to refer to the French Republican calendar time system used in France from 1794 to 1800, during the French Revolution, which divided the day into 10 decimal hours, each decimal hour into 100 decimal minutes and each decimal minute into 100 decimal seconds (100000 decimal seconds per day), as opposed to the more familiar standard time, which divides the day into 24 hours, each hour into 60 minutes and each minute into 60 seconds (86400 SI seconds per day).
That sounds like a better way to me. 🤔
It’s upside down. The time is LL:6.
The clock in my car says that the year is 2165. Sometimes it corrects itself to the right year after a while, sometimes it doesn’t. 🤷♀️
Your car is a time machine and somone is forgetting to clear the date after using it!
it’s showing internet time
One side of me is asking “Seriously, who thought that dividing a day in 1000 units would be useful?”
The other side of me can’t wait for me to start saying to my friends “A’ight, meet me at @960”.
always check the packaging to make sure you’re buying a clock that’s base 60. Especially from Kmart
Can confirm my base 60 clock from Kmart says its 42:32pm right now.
And always check the store to make sure you are buying it from a store based on earth, not mars.
This broken clock never right once!
There are still Kmarts??
Yes. Theres still a few surviving stores in America.
and there is a KMart in Australia that is totally unconnected to the other Kmarts that… I believe is still doing well? Not sure, not aussie.
Kmart here is still doing well.
This clock is clearly using the galactic alphabet. Buyer should have looked before buying.
Money exchanged hands though, so it accomplished its purpose (of tricking the buyer). :-(
Perhaps try a store that still actually exists, next time?
Kmart does exist…
Funny. They are on Lemmy.world but yet, forgot the world exists.
But it is weird to find out that a store known for cheap garbage and bad stores that went out of business is doing just fine on the murderous animal island so I get why they are confused.
I hate it so much when people say or write “the wife”. Riles me up
Like it or not “the wife” was a change in language seen as progressive not too long ago because it recognises that a man doesn’t own a woman.
What would you prefer “my wife” implying ownership. “A wife” implying a non specific wife of anyone.
Or they name them on social media to avoid mentioning their marital status and ignoring their relationship to them.
I’m genuinely curious how this person should, in your view, refer to the person they’ve married.
I don’t know if “my” always means owning the noun it could mean co-owning the relationship. If I say “my partner” or “my kids” or “my job” I don’t think most people think I am a slave owner who somehow has an unbreakable contract with work.
“My” can, but certainly doesn’t always imply ownership. It implies that the qualifier for person B in the sentence is applied to their relationship to me, person A.
My banker, my hairdresser, my dentist, my accountant, my contractor, my neighbor, my boss, my elected official, etc.
Probably not at all on you, here, but this is a good example of “exaggerated progressivism” or fake-woke/politically correct speech. It weakens the credibility of the progressive movement and gives conservatives silly exaggerations to point to and mock, when this kind of stuff emerges.
Just my 2 cents!
My wife is absolutely fine in my books. The same way you can say my friend or my acquaintance or what have you, you can say my spouse/wife/husband/whatever without implying any sort of ownership. My view might be skewed being an ESL, but the same applies to German, Russian, Ukrainian, French, for example, which I speak too. I’ve never heard people complaining over those usages
“my dad”
I do not own him. Wtf is that argument?? It’s not a descriptor of ownership but relation.
“No he can’t be YOUR dad, he’s MY neighbor”
This whole thread’s logic is whack.
I prefer the ole ball and chain. /s
When I read “the wife”, I read it as this. It feels impersonal, like you are intentionally distancing yourself from your spouse. Like, why would you do that unless you are literally Al Bundy?
What would you have people say instead? “My wife”?
Incredibly out there, I know
