      In Germany we say "dreiviertel acht" or "three quarter eight". This will irrationally enrage people from Northern Germany.

      Hungary has the same system. Or "half five" actually being 16:30. It's been hella fun getting used to "half five" meaning 17:30. Constant confusion.

          Wtf is 7:75? That would be 8:15. Quarter to eight is 7:45.

          Or am I just super old and whooshing on the joke? Maybe it's an AI equivalent of eight fingers or two left hands?

            To all the people saying it's "AI slop", it's not. This image is on a blog from 2014.

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

                        Well yes duh 75% is ¾ that much I got. So I guess the joke is AI wouldn't, because it hasn't learned to tell time, just as it's not sure about fingers...

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

                                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.

                                    A quarter of 10 would be 7:50.

                                    (10-25%)

                                      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

                                        1. the background is red instead of white
                                        2. the pattern on the sleeves is similar, but different.
                                        3. 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"

                                          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 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.
