A broken clock is right twice a day, but a wrong clock is just wrong.

      Most accurate clock. It measures “times”.

    There’s a conductive rubber piece that contacts the board on one side and the display on the other. Remove it, clean the ends with an eraser, reassemble. Fixed.

  And yet a wrong clock is far more useful than a stopped clock

    I dunno man. ‘i don’t know’ is often more helpful than ‘sure, I know how to do this, trust me bro’

      A wrong clock can show the passage of time and if you know how far it’s off it just requires mental math. A stopped clock merely tells you when it stopped. Now a clock that advances at the wrong speed, that’s useless and a hindrance to you knowing what time it is

      I set the clock in the kitchen a little fast because my partner is chronically late, and this way he leaves on time for work.

  Akshurreally…, a wrong clock is correct somewhere on the planet. Same as all other clocks.

    It might not align with any known time zone, but it will show you the solar time of some location somewhere.

      Thank you for organizing the concept concisely :)

    Not if the minutes are off.

    • captainlezbian@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

      Solar time, not agreed upon time.

    I mean I have heard this reasoning said differently a lot of times but isn’t that technically not true? I mean time zones only go in 1 hour increments. So if the time is 5:30 and a wrong clock says 5:40, it isn’t really 540 somewhere. It’s 530 or 630 or 730 or w/e

      Fun fact! Timezones don’t just break at 1 hour increments. timeanddate.com/…/time-zones-interesting.html

    Or maybe if the clock is exactly an hour off, it’ll eventually be right when daylight saving time rolls around.

    The planet is a clock.

  Fun fact: If you take a cheap quartz crystal digital LCD watch and short the two terminals to the quartz crystal, the display will go blank and it’ll literally freeze in time, until you remove the short circuit.

  All clocks are wrong except broken clocks, which are right twice a day.

  If a clock runs backwards how many times a day is it right?

  source

  • JeeBaiChow@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

    Four?

    source

    • Thorry@feddit.org ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

      It would depend on how fast it runs. The faster it runs the more times it’s right. So if we extrapolate, once you get a clock running backwards fast enough, it will be right all of the time.

  A wrong clock can still track time intervals.

  And if you know by how much the clock is wrong, it’s totally usable.

  Solution: break all clocks.

  A broken clock can be a kind of a wrong clock.
  Stopped clocks are the real deal!

  A broken clock is garbage.
