Does anyone really know what time it is?

The cooker beats me every time. I usually have to turn it off and on at midnight.
My stove has been blinking 00:00 for as long as I can remember. Lost power briefly about 6 months after I moved in and I never reset the clock.
All clocks in my home must be perfectly synced with atomic time. I will sit there and wait until the very last moment before hitting the button to confirm the time on the microwave/stove/wall clock/etc., so that it doesn’t change over to the next minute until it’s supposed to.
The irony is that the rest of my life is in complete chaos due to having untreated ADHD. Keeping accurate time is the one thing I care about having in order. Thankfully DST doesn’t exist where I live so I rarely have to re-sync everything more than once every couple of years or so.
Wrong time again…
My power goes out so often, they get updated regularly.
My Casio gets updated daily from an atomic clock. It knows what time it is.
*wrong time.
The clock on the wall and watch, yeah, I actually use those for time. Everything else is more like, lol wtf does my coffee machine need the correct time for anyway
With a regular drip coffee maker, a lot of people prep it before bed. Take a couple minutes to put the filter, coffee grounds, and water in the tank and set the timer so it is ready to go when they walk into the kitchen in the morning. Saves a couple minutes in the morning and can get that caffeine addiction hit right out the gate.
How do you understand the wall clock though? Its 12 hour, it requires complex visual parsing. I understand if one didn’t have a digital clock (which can be powered by a fucking CMOS battery for ages), maybe they could use it. But I’ve seen these wall clocks at a job that required fast decision making and keeping track of time, and I quit immediatly cus it took me a solid 15 to 30 seconds to parse wtf is fucking displayed on those, and that quickly got in the way of doing the job itself.
That’s the biggest skill issue that i’ve heard my entire life lmaooooo
I posted this somewhere else but I struggled into adulthood with analog clocks and learning to read them changed my relationship with time. I forced myself to learn to do it because I read about how it can improve time management skills. Now even my smart watch has an analog watch face, and one that puts my daily schedule onto the clock itself even.
Being able to read the hands and their movement kind of give a better sense of the units and movement of time itself. Totally recommend learning to properly read analog time.
I’m here to brag about my new watch. The Casio Gshock GWM 5610U. Auto syncs to the atomic clock every night. Synced last midnight and adjusted for DST without me touching it. Fucking love this watch.
I also own a g shock with the 5610 module.
Welcome to the club buddy. The big dick g shock club.
The 5610/u really are one of the best watches (though I was eyeing the GW 5000U for a good while). I was debating on getting the 5610 and not the 5610u because of the green light. Came down to the 5610u because I can view time while in stopwatch mode.
I also have one of those. This is the only watch running correctly in my house.
I really wish there was like a lil i2c port on the back of every device so you could just plug in a lil clock synchronizer thingy and it would tell the device what time it is. Like it probably wouldn’t even cost that much to implement for the manufacturers. Standardizing on the connector and protocol would be a bitch tho
I like this idea.
I have an appliance that resets the time to midnight when plugged in. I had an idea to connect a smart plug to it on a schedule to set the time automatically.
Well for car clocks there is a very simple way to fix daylight saving time. Wait 6months.
Bold of You to assume it was ever running correctly.
I own exactly one appliance that tries to keep the time and it has never known the correct time since I bought it. 👍
