Clearly it’s set to metric time
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).
That sounds like a better way to me. 🤔
9.7 kiloseconds for my metric friends
Should ring in 13 minutes
That clock obviously runs on military time. Easy mistake to make.
Kmart is still a thing? Is this the 90s?
Probably Australia, Kmart is still alive and well there.
always check the packaging to make sure you’re buying a clock that’s base 60. Especially from Kmart
And always check the store to make sure you are buying it from a store based on earth, not mars.
Can confirm my base 60 clock from Kmart says its 42:32pm right now.
We converted to decimal time.
Dumbass just has it upside down it’s actually just LL:6
LL:6 already! I’m late for my harmonica recital!
11037
Did you try setting it to Wumbo?
Ah that make sense . These karma whores i tell ya.
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.
Banana for orientation
did you just assume my orientation?
I guess that depends what you do with the banana
El El Seis?! He’s HERE?!
In was looking for a small space heater for the bathroom because it gets so cold in the morning. There was one that was a plug in into the outlet kinda like a night light, and had a temperature display. There was a one star review along the lines of
This thing is garbage! It just keeps saying nonsense like 9L! Needs better instructions!

There are still Kmarts??
The old Kmart headquarters building that’s been abandoned rotting away as urban decay next to a fancy mall for since before the new millennium where the executives allegedly had cocaine parties in the 80s (which may have negatively affected the company’s outcome) is finally being professionally torn down by construction crewmen. It’s so fucking ugly beige reddish rust 80s office building its parts should be buried with humanity’s nuclear waste
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.
Wow. I thought there were no more KMarts in the US. Turns out there are two in the States, three in the US Virgin Islands, and one in Guam
they also have a (Very shitty) website for ordering
Kmart here is still doing well.
Target and KMart are merged in aussielandia now, arent they? and operate as one store?
Yeah they merged last year, but its still a work in progress and we still have distinct kmarts and targets
Remaining Targets are being assimilated into the Kmart universe. Resistance is futile.
I swear to god it feels like you guys are living in another dimension sometimes. Lol truly don’t mean that in a bad way just so very different from what I’m used to, but, very similar to the West.
Target doesn’t dare to return to Canada LOL.
Perhaps try a store that still actually exists, next time?
Kmart does exist…
Funny. They are on Lemmy.world but yet, forgot the world exists.
But it is weird to find out that a store known for cheap garbage and bad stores that went out of business is doing just fine on the murderous animal island so I get why they are confused.
All y’all guessing this is Australia are correct, dude’s got it listed on his profile. https://twitter.com/Sheeds1984 This is also his pinned tweet, he’s probably enjoying the fame.
It’s upside down. The time is LL:6.
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. 🤷♀️
Your car is a time machine and somone is forgetting to clear the date after using it!
I hate it so much when people say or write “the wife”. Riles me up
Like it or not “the wife” was a change in language seen as progressive not too long ago because it recognises that a man doesn’t own a woman.
What would you prefer “my wife” implying ownership. “A wife” implying a non specific wife of anyone.
Or they name them on social media to avoid mentioning their marital status and ignoring their relationship to them.
I’m genuinely curious how this person should, in your view, refer to the person they’ve married.
“My mother” = I own my mother
I agree either my wife, or the wife is fine.
I’ve just stated the reason “the wife” exists at all is a reaction against historical patriarchal language.
NO! Everyone MUST speak how I do at all times, or they’re WRONG!
There’s only one way to speak, and any linguistic deviation will be reported to the POLICE!
That’s why I speak exclusively in Sting lyrics.
What song is that?
My wife is absolutely fine in my books. The same way you can say my friend or my acquaintance or what have you, you can say my spouse/wife/husband/whatever without implying any sort of ownership. My view might be skewed being an ESL, but the same applies to German, Russian, Ukrainian, French, for example, which I speak too. I’ve never heard people complaining over those usages
I say either my wife, or the wife is fine.
I’ve just stated the reason “the wife” exists at all is a reaction against historical patriarchal language.
I’ve heard different people complain about both and they were always insufferable people trying to nit pick the conversation into a boring place.
Like you!
“my dad”
I do not own him. Wtf is that argument?? It’s not a descriptor of ownership but relation.
“No he can’t be YOUR dad, he’s MY neighbor”
This whole thread’s logic is whack.Right? It is almost like “my” is a word which denotes association as well as ownership. Naw that can’t be right.
People are stupid and looking for reasons to be offended. Usually it means their opinions are to be ignored as they simply exist to argue about non issues.
I agree either my wife, or the wife is fine.
I’ve just stated the reason “the wife” exists at all is a reaction against historical patriarchal language.
Exactly
I don’t know if “my” always means owning the noun it could mean co-owning the relationship. If I say “my partner” or “my kids” or “my job” I don’t think most people think I am a slave owner who somehow has an unbreakable contract with work.
“My” can, but certainly doesn’t always imply ownership. It implies that the qualifier for person B in the sentence is applied to their relationship to me, person A.
My banker, my hairdresser, my dentist, my accountant, my contractor, my neighbor, my boss, my elected official, etc.
Probably not at all on you, here, but this is a good example of “exaggerated progressivism” or fake-woke/politically correct speech. It weakens the credibility of the progressive movement and gives conservatives silly exaggerations to point to and mock, when this kind of stuff emerges.
Just my 2 cents!
My banker, my hairdresser, my dentist, my accountant, my contractor, my neighbor, my boss, my elected official, etc.
Why do you have slaves? /s
I prefer the ole ball and chain. /s
When I read “the wife”, I read it as this. It feels impersonal, like you are intentionally distancing yourself from your spouse. Like, why would you do that unless you are literally Al Bundy?
The ole battle axe
The minister or war and finance.

What would you have people say instead? “My wife”?
Ole Battleaxe
Incredibly out there, I know
It’s such a kludgy way of using language. You know what is being communicated with “the wife” vs “my wife” so why not use them interchangeably?
Ah fine. The “old lady”
Money exchanged hands though, so it accomplished its purpose (of tricking the buyer). :-(
I’m sure he can return it to Kmart though
Even so, it has already accomplished its purpose. Dealing with returns is the job of the next CEO - this one has already gotten theirs, ca-ching 🤑 !
I don’ didn’t know there were still Kmarts around. Dollar stores and Wally World replaced them all in my part of the country.
Kmart is still really big in Australia and New Zealand. It’s mostly replaced target, and we don’t really do chain dollar stores (we do have them, just they aren’t called dollar stores most of the time and are usually small little independent ones in the corner of shopping centres)
You found the extra matter in the universe! Incredible!
