Four months

Sometimes I live in the future.

Sometimes I live in the past.

casio f91 mentioned lez go

ugh my microwave loses time at the briefest of electric hiccups and demands the date be inputed before the time. YOU DON"T NEED TO KNOW THE FUCKING DATE TO REHEAT MY FOOD! I mean the clocks a bit of a convenience but my toaster oven atleast remembers what the time last was. I eventually will do it but its been living groundhong day on november eleventh 2011.

Does anyone really know what time it is?

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.

The cooker beats me every time. I usually have to turn it off and on at midnight.

Wrong time again...

I left my bathroom clock on standard time, because it's hard to reach. Now I have to remember that it's correct again.

My power goes out so often, they get updated regularly.

My state doesn’t do daylight savings, so I get to avoid these useless shenanigans twice a year

Luckily the only devices I have that need to be manually set to correct time are my cameras. And I set the time on them fairly frequently anyway because the clocks drift by half a minute every few months.

*wrong time.

My Casio gets updated daily from an atomic clock. It knows what time it is.

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.

I mean, it takes a minute at most to change the device's time, so I don't mind doing it.

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

Well for car clocks there is a very simple way to fix daylight saving time. Wait 6months.

As long as they're only a minute or two off, I don't mind as much. Especially since I mostly use my desktop/laptop/phone/other Internet connected devices most of the time if I need accurate readings.

I don’t ever change my clocks, I just do mental math because my car clock also tends to drift roughly a minute a month so I’m used to it. Frankly I don’t even set most of them when the power goes out (phone and watch are right either way, bedroom and living room get set after outages).. but when one friend comes over they always set or change all my clocks for me because it drives them crazy..

Appliance clocks can be useful, but I typically don’t use the pre-set or programmed features anyway so meh. I think in 10 years I’ve used the scheduled bake on my oven once, and that’s about as much as I’ve used any of the program features on any appliances..

My car has been on standard time for years now, so it's currently correct.
