Whether it's a user interface that defies all logic, a crash that leaves you in disbelief, silly bugs or glitches that make you go crazy, or an error message that feels like it was written by an unpaid intern, this is the place to see them all!

Dumbass just has it upside down it's actually just LL:6

[–] THEMASTERMIND@feddit.ch 6 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) (1 children)

Ah that make sense . These karma whores i tell ya.

[–] LinkOpensChest_wav@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 9 months ago (1 children)

That's why you should always include a banana in the picture. Then we can tell if the clock is right side up in relation to the banana.

[–] Saber_is_dead@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

did you just assume my orientation?

[–] surewhynotlem@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago

I guess that depends what you do with the banana

[–] Daft_ish@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

LL:6 already! I'm late for my harmonica recital!

[–] AMDIsOurLord@lemmy.ml 1 points 9 months ago (3 children)

The thermometer Celsius sign and the precipitation percentage sign indicate that this is in fact the correct orientation

[–] gmtom@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

You mean

%65

And

)•L1

Both seem like perfectly cromulant measurements to me.

[–] atomicorange@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago

Maybe it’s in Spanish mode.

[–] Syrc@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago

I think that was sarcasm.

You Americans with your imperial system. 9:77 o'clock is 10:17 in metric. /s

[–] Cort@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I see the s, but you have it backwards. 9:77 is clearly metric time, with 100 minutes per hour...

Clearly it's set to metric time

[–] Darken@reddthat.com 5 points 9 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

9.7 kiloseconds for my metric friends

[–] Toldry@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Decimal time is the representation of the time of day using units which are decimally related. This term is often used specifically to refer to the French Republican calendar time system used in France from 1794 to 1800, during the French Revolution, which divided the day into 10 decimal hours, each decimal hour into 100 decimal minutes and each decimal minute into 100 decimal seconds (100000 decimal seconds per day), as opposed to the more familiar standard time, which divides the day into 24 hours, each hour into 60 minutes and each minute into 60 seconds (86400 SI seconds per day).

[–] reagansrottencorpse@lemmy.world 3 points 9 months ago

That sounds like a better way to me. 🤔

[–] bleistift2@feddit.de 7 points 9 months ago (2 children)

What are the laws in the US regarding this? In Germany, this clock is clearly defective and must be repaired or replaced or refunded by the vendor at no additional charge.

[–] MxM111@kbin.social 4 points 9 months ago (1 children)

In most places you can return it back for any reason and without one, if you still have a receipt.

[–] Blum0108@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago (1 children)

At least within a relatively short time period, like 30 or 90 days.

[–] MxM111@kbin.social 4 points 9 months ago (1 children)

But how do you measure time if the clock is broken?

[–] BigDanishGuy@sh.itjust.works 2 points 9 months ago

You count? one mississipi, two mississipi etc

[–] theneverfox@pawb.social 3 points 9 months ago (1 children)

You could definitely get it repaired/replaced by the manufacturer

But, would you? You can probably return it to where you bought it, but that's at least 10 mins of your life.

You could also throw it in the trash... That takes 0 minutes. That's what they hope you'll do, and so every other option is made possible, but frustrating

[–] AlDente@sh.itjust.works 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Please recycle electronics. Thanks!

[–] theneverfox@pawb.social 1 points 9 months ago

How? I recycle e-waste personally, because I find disassembling it relaxing.

What is a normal person meant to do? I've been asked and I don't know what to tell them

[–] Etterra@lemmy.world 6 points 9 months ago

It's upside down. The time is LL:6.

[–] LaunchesKayaks@lemmy.world 5 points 9 months ago (1 children)

The clock in my car says that the year is 2165. Sometimes it corrects itself to the right year after a while, sometimes it doesn't. 🤷‍♀️

[–] madcaesar@lemmy.world 3 points 9 months ago

Your car is a time machine and somone is forgetting to clear the date after using it!

[–] kuneho@lemmy.world 4 points 9 months ago (1 children)
[–] yetAnotherUser@lemmy.ca 3 points 9 months ago

One side of me is asking "Seriously, who thought that dividing a day in 1000 units would be useful?"

The other side of me can't wait for me to start saying to my friends "A'ight, meet me at @960".

[–] rem26_art@kbin.social 2 points 9 months ago (2 children)

always check the packaging to make sure you're buying a clock that's base 60. Especially from Kmart

[–] NotMaster@lemmynsfw.com 2 points 9 months ago

Can confirm my base 60 clock from Kmart says its 42:32pm right now.

[–] NaoPb@eviltoast.org 1 points 9 months ago

And always check the store to make sure you are buying it from a store based on earth, not mars.

[–] Annoyed_Crabby@monyet.cc 2 points 9 months ago

This broken clock never right once!

[–] revlayle@lemm.ee 2 points 9 months ago (1 children)
[–] A_Random_Idiot@lemmy.world 3 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Yes. Theres still a few surviving stores in America.

and there is a KMart in Australia that is totally unconnected to the other Kmarts that.. I believe is still doing well? Not sure, not aussie.

[–] eatham@aussie.zone 2 points 9 months ago

Kmart here is still doing well.

[–] NaoPb@eviltoast.org 1 points 9 months ago

This clock is clearly using the galactic alphabet. Buyer should have looked before buying.

[–] OpenStars@startrek.website 1 points 9 months ago

Money exchanged hands though, so it accomplished its purpose (of tricking the buyer). :-(
