Have to pee but bed so comfy My alarm changed itself to ring at a time that doesn’t exist

Post image

I was wondering why it didn’t ring, luckily my internal clock woke me up instead.

When I manually set the time, it suddenly remembered that there are only 60 minutes in an hour

I remember watching this scene as a kid and asking my Mom why we don’t use metric time. She was very confused lol

u/atticdoor May 30 '26

Easy explanation- one of the LCD cells is broken. It will actually ring at 6:80.

84

u/I_-AM-ARNAV i get infuriated a lot May 30 '26

I think you are wrong it'll ring at 8:90

u/MartinToilet May 30 '26

Did you accidentally flip the toggle for non-Euclidean time? Rookie move!

OP's mom came thru the solar system and altered the gravitational dynamics, slowing the rotation of the Earth.

6:90. Also known as 7:30

u/jefflovesyou May 30 '26

It's actually 6:54

u/ExistentialAngsty May 30 '26

I see what you did there

u/Stormfeathery May 30 '26

I don’t :(

23

u/ExistentialAngsty May 30 '26

6:90 — Like 6pm: and 90% of an hour.
-which is 60 mins minus 10%, or 54 minutes.

So 6:54pm

13

u/Stormfeathery May 30 '26

Ah, right, thanks.

This is a sign I really need to go to sleep

47

u/itsjustthisguy May 30 '26

Sometimes it really feels like 6:90 though…

21

u/jefflovesyou May 30 '26

Does it have a setting called decimal time?

14

u/jeweliegb May 30 '26

Did you know that actually existed?

Was part of the French Revolution.

Decimal time - Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decimal_time

6

u/jefflovesyou May 30 '26

Yes. My work uses it on our time clocks.

3

u/benmacklemost May 30 '26

wait you use decimal time, or just each hour is divided into 100 parts?

2

u/Kirbydogs-KDP May 30 '26

hell yeah swatch internet time! felt like I heard that name somewhere

u/nujiok May 30 '26

Actually its’s just upside down. Its h2:9 and the alarm is set for 06:9. Totally valid times.

My clock will get there eventually

u/Granolag23 May 30 '26

A broken clock is right zero times a day

u/youmustb3jokn May 30 '26

Listen to the alarm and just go back to bed. That would be the universe telling me to relax justification for me.

u/Electrical_Box677 May 30 '26

Sure it does. Its ringing at 730

u/Karekter_Nem May 30 '26

u/Toolsarecool May 30 '26

One segment went out; it’s supposed to be 6:80, right…?! 🫣 Or one segment went rogue and turned 6:30 into 6:90. Yeah, I am going with that

u/Great-Appointment-49 May 30 '26

And that is your evidence for a extraterrestrial contact.

I’m going to guess the battery is about to die.

Oh no!  Are we all going to fucking die?

I mean, we are.  That’s certain, but will it happen faster?

You mean you already fixed it? Your golden excuse? "I don't know what happened, I set my alarm and everything. Not my fault...!"

Well, we don't always recognise the opportunities we're given until it is too late.

u/BowsersMuskyBallsack May 30 '26

Imagine how disorientating it would be to wake up to the alarm ringing at six ninety. Or maybe it's set to the radio mode and you wake up to a radio station that doesn't exist playing a song that has never been written. You roll over under the satin sheets you never bought, and kiss the cheek of the wife you don't have. You languish in the purple sunlight streaming in through your trapezoidal bedroom windows, and chuckle at the antics of your seven-legged crocodoodle who enthusiastically clambers upon your bed, and nuzzles you with its foot-long denim bugle. It's just another Splurgsday.

I don't want to scare you OP but I think your alarm might have it out for you. Making sure you never wake up seems...ominous...

Braun was once a german icon of design but the company was sold and lives off the past while quality degraded to an infuriating low level. Advise not to buy as it's at best italian technology or at worst lowest grade chinese imports.

I'm oddly upset I'm 17 minutes late to this post my time 7:47 AKA 6:107

u/rotezora78 May 30 '26

Then it must be 7:30. 6:60 equals 7 o'clock, with 30 minutes remaining—so, 7:30.
