minus-square@nicerdicer@feddit.delinkfedilink154•10 months agoYou Americans with your imperial system. 9:77 o’clock is 10:17 in metric. /s
minus-square@Cort@lemmy.worldlinkfedilink60•10 months agoI see the s, but you have it backwards. 9:77 is clearly metric time, with 100 minutes per hour…

minus-square@JustUseMint@lemmy.worldlinkfedilink4•10 months agoWhich makes waaaaaay more sense as everyone uses their phone for alarms now rather than a fucking clock lmao
minus-square@Everythingispenguins@lemmy.worldlinkfedilink8•10 months agoUmmm I still use a clock. It played the radio which I like as an alarm better. Plus you can hit the snooze so easily.
minus-square@GlendatheGayWitch@lemmy.worldlinkfedilink1•10 months agoI don’t think Twitter was founded by the time Kmart left the big cities around 20 years ago.
minus-square@gamermanh@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkEnglish1•10 months agoI can guarantee there was a K-Mart in Sacramento, CA, at LEAST until 2019, possibly 2022 but my memory of being in the area in 2022 is hazy Twitter def existed well before they were gone from populated areas
minus-square@GlendatheGayWitch@lemmy.worldlinkfedilink1•10 months agoOh wow, I thought they had left cities in the early 2000s although maybe that was just TX. I thought they completely left the states by 2015.
minus-squareCaptain Aggravatedlinkfedilink1•edit-210 months agoLast time I set foot in a K mart was in 2015 in Greensboro NC.
minus-square@GlendatheGayWitch@lemmy.worldlinkfedilink1•10 months agoWow, they were all out from the DFW metroplex and only found in rural cities by 2005 at the latest in TX. I thought they had all closed down by 2015.
minus-squareCaptain Aggravatedlinkfedilink1•10 months agoThat last one I mentioned was pretty late in its going out of business sale. It shut down a few weeks later.
minus-square@indepndnt@lemmy.worldlinkfedilink15•10 months agoAlso the clock says it’s 17 degrees Celsius, although to be fair I think it’s established that the clock is unreliable.
minus-squarestebolinkfedilink9•10 months agoI assume the 59% is humidity? So they took the time to make the clock indicate humidity but couldn’t make it indicate time.
minus-square@Everythingispenguins@lemmy.worldlinkfedilink8•10 months agoNo it is just 59% just in case you need to know how much percent it is.
minus-squarestebolinkfedilink2•10 months agoMaybe it’s a certainty. The clock is 59% sure that it is 9:77 right now.
minus-square@BigDanishGuy@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilink5•10 months agoA great man once said Time is an illusion. Lunchtime doubly so. … so why not temperature too?
minus-squareCaptain Aggravatedlinkfedilink1•10 months agoVery deep. You should send that in to the Readers Digest. They’ve got a page for people like you.
minus-square@frostysauce@lemmy.worldlinkfedilink3•10 months agoKmart isn’t completely dead in the US. There are two in the states, three in the US Virgin Islands, and one in Guam
