minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish114•1 year agoA broken clock is right twice a day, but a running clock is probably never right.

minus-square@NightmareQueenJunelinkEnglish3•1 year agoI’m really picky when it comes to clocks. They need to be ±1 minute. If they aren’t it really starts to bother me.

minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish4•1 year agoIf you’re lucky, a clock that’s slightly too fast or too slow will be right once
minus-square@psudlink2•edit-211 months agoMy grandfather clock is correct* about once a week when I wind and correct it *It must be correct as it’s very slightly fast (less so than can be fixed with a quarter turn off the pendulum screw) and I set it slightly in the past
minus-square@shrugallinkEnglish10•1 year agoAlso depends how the other clock is broken, if we’re this picky about it.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish4•1 year agoThat’s why the correct term is ‘a stopped clock’ not a broken one.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish2•1 year agoYeah a broken LED clock isn’t often right!
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish5•1 year agoThis only works with 1-dimensional time though.

minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish1•1 year agoA clock running backwards turns left and is therefor never right.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish1•1 year agoIt’s right the 4 times the hands overlap at 12 and 6.

Two wrong don’t make a right, but three left turns do.
Or if the “present” actually exists

time dilation ftw!

Depends how fast is going backwards

This only works with 1-dimensional time though.
As opposed to what?
2 dimensional time?
I really wanna know how that clock works
Luckily we don’t build clocks for n-dimensional time
A clock running backwards turns left and is therefor never right.
