    Be me waiting for the minute on my phone to change so I can simultaneously press the clock button on the microwave and oven twice a year.

      A person with one watch always knows what time it is; a person with two watches never does.

        I've got that exact watch and it's set to the correct time.

        My microwave says 00:00 though 😞

        My microwave predates digital timers on microwaves. Never saw the point of a microwave knowing the time of day.

          I have no clock in my apartment. To find out what time it is, I need to fire up one of my computers and look. Sometimes it's the kindle

              My appliances don't drift much at all, but my Nissan car is fucked. That dash clock drifts by 5 minutes monthly.

                I always set an alarm on my phone and press it when the alarm triggers

                  Did GPT write this? Literally no clock keeps time via mains RMS voltage. They use the frequency, if anything, and that is far more stable than the el cheapo RTCs in microwaves etc.

                  It’s frequency based. Voltage can’t be used to measure time in anyway I can’t think of.

                    I in no way can relate to this. In fact the microwave is the most visible clock in the house, given its location. As such it’s always set against if the power blinks out or whatever.

                      Obsolete. My watch and my two clocks are radio controlled, the computers are synced by NTP. I even run a NTP-pool node.

                        I've got the only clock that matters to me , an alarm clock. Worst comes to worst, as long as it has power it can get close enough to current time/date via radio. It also makes setting it to exact time much easier/faster.

                                True. My microwave drifts quite excessively. However it can give a reliable time together with the oven. The oven was designed by some crazy ppl and thus it's almost impossible to change the time. It's usually correct with the minutes and doesn't seem to drift, but for half of the year it's wrong because of daylight saving. Combined with the microwave that is probably like 5-20 minutes ahead but at least close tot he right hour you can get a good sense of the actual time.

                                  I am "all the clocks in the kitchen set" gang.

                                  Analogue one on the wall, microwave and oven. If they drift I'll fix them.

                                  It's a busy house. Two of the kids get the train to school and minutes matter to them so in the morning you'll frequently hear "time check" from one room and whoever's in the kitchen (or has their phone to hand) will shout back the answer. It just makes things that tiniest bit smoother.

                                      You're gonna have to elaborate on that for my tiredness addled brain. 🙂 I only see 2 "it" in there and I don't see any of them being pivotal to the overall meaning.

                                        The OP meme, suggwsting your coffee maker and guy on top left of meme may keep some symbolic representation of the passage of time, but lacks an understanding of what that is.

                                        I've been lurking hereish for a while things just weren't spicy enough to assume i wouldn't be banned after a first post.

                                          AH! "What time is". I get it now. Thanks.

                                          Ah the ban hammer is not used here nearly as much (instance dependent but dbzer is a solid one AFAIK). Glad you decided to jump in anyway.
