Alphabetical clock

@catsalad

I like how it darkens the sky virtually every other hour, so you can take a short nap.

Thank you for being so considerate.

@catsalad, and there's a fun thing. The displacement of the numbers has some logic:

1 and 2, 5 and 10 - multiple by two.

11 is opposite to 6 and is followed by 5, 12 is opposite to 9 and is preceded by 3; 11=6+5 and 12-3=9; the operation depends on the second operand position (if it goes before or after on the display).

The other pairs differ by one.

@catsalad Correction Alphabetic english clock 🙂

@sarah aaaaaaah!

@catsalad
My head hurts!

@catsalad This has the same unhinged energy to it as when I accidentally sort my email by subject alphabetically.

@kkarhan @catsalad Find a furry, or a trans person with knee high socks. Give them the clock and an aurduino, and it'll function.

@IanAMartin @catsalad they wanted to put him in a Pontiac Trans Am, and he said naw, it wouldn't fit the character, so he got a plain Firebird. The clock on the dash was probably not in alphabetic order.

@catsalad This is what time blindness feels like!

[ianamartin@thecanadian.social]

@the_turtle @catsalad It seems odd that a Firebird and a Trans Am would be seen as different personality types, but being alive at that point I can reassure myself (and anyone else who might care) that they really were.

@kkarhan @catsalad LoL, if I were hiring for a tech position, any indication they are trans or furry would legit be a point in their favor. 🤣️
I don't know why these two demographics are so present in tech, but they absolutely are.

@MxAlba @catsalad Et treize heures jusqu'à vingt-quatre?!

[the_turtle@mastodon.sdf.org]

@IanAMartin @catsalad i think it was mostly that James Garner saw the character as more of a working stiff and the Trans Am upgrade would cost the character a lot more than the character would spend, particularly if they went whole hog and got the 455 High Output engine and all. Kinda like if they gave Columbo a Lancia instead of that gray old Peugeot 403 that looked like it leaked.

This actually hurts my eyes

@catsalad sorry im European, our clock goes to 24.

[demofox@mastodon.gamedev.place]

@catsalad im sad it doesnt count from 0. Like where the 2 is being 8 instead.

[ianamartin@thecanadian.social]

@the_turtle Excellent explanation. He might drive a Dodge of some sort, for instance, but it wouldn’t be a Charger for the reason as the Firebird / Trans Am you explained. Makes perfect sense.
