At least run it through a reverse image search before making any accusations.

They don’t look the same and it doesnt look like differences that can be explained by photoshop.

In Germany we say "dreiviertel acht" or "three quarter eight". This will irrationally enrage people from Northern Germany.
In Dutch you get fun stuff like 16.35 being vijf over half vijf, being 5 past half five. I'm sure German is similar in that regard.

Still better than quarter of.
What time is a "Quarter of 10"?
I could see it as 10:15, 9:45, 9:15, or 2:30. It's stupid, and anybody who uses it is wrong.

The reverse image search spotted it well, but it isn't the same image. It's very likely the source where the image generator got its ideas from though: https://lemmy.world/post/31578519/17746077

not the same image, but op's image is an ai upscale of the one you linked. the tells are
- the background is red instead of white
- the pattern on the sleeves is similar, but different.
- the original is flipped horizontally, and the upscale doesn't know that, so it tries to "fix" the numbers of the pocketwatch, turning the flipped "IX" into... "N"

The tenth hour of the day goes from 9:00 to 10:00.
So quarter of ten is 9:15. I don't know how one would explain the other possibilities, but this is the correct answer.
Imagine it as a glass of water that gets filled for each hour. Once it is full, the hour has been reached.

Why do old people say that shit? They expect me to do math every time? Side note, I an American recently switched to using a 24 hour clock. It's way better.

Last year, a middle aged gentleman stopped me on the street to ask me what time it was. I told him "half past one and ten minutes." Just came naturally to me (I also wear an analog watch, so never really can tell the exact minute). I still remember the confused look on his face, and I imagine he's been working really hard to convert it into minutes. That made me self-conscious about saying the time, and I noticed I never say time in the hours-minutes format. My kids will be the same, as long as they pick up this habit from me rather than videos and movies.

Except it's not. The actual answer is 9:45. It's a stupid way of describing time.

That's a quarter off ten. An all too common mistake.

I would have intuitively said that it's 2.5.
I'll see myself out.
