Been thinking of kickstarting a clock that instead of ticking plays a random monster death .wav from Doom every second.

I'm really sorry, your avatar is giving me a boner and while that is perfectly OK and I don't want to kink shame anyone, its making me feel really weird getting a boner in a Trump thread.

Sincerely,

On the quarter hour it plays the first four bars E1M1, at the half hour the first two, etc.

clocks only work for humans because time is only relevant to us. Clocks have been adjusted to reflect this.


To a dog the perception of human time and clocks are meaningless. See my other post about this topic in the "Interesting Dog Facts" thread

Thanks for spoiling it for me, you fat, ugly jerk.

How do you get bothered by ticking? The reassuring tick of a clock is one of the nicest sounds.

No doubt.
My grandparents had a very nice, old rectangular mantle clock they kept in their kitchen.
Between its noises and the sound of wood slowly burning and shifting in their woodstove at night you may as well have downed a bottle of sleeping pills.
My parents have the clock now and I'm making sure they take care of it.

Mechanical clicking is far more tolerable than something beeping, honking or playing a music alarm.

But a musical alarm is deliberately disruptive in order to alert you of a set time. The ticking is always, and without purpose. I don't need constant reassurance that time is still passing. If I want some sort of metronome like noise to set my pace to I will get one of those japanese bamboo fountains that fill up and bonk every few minutes.

My clock just constantly plays music and is actually just a radio, I keep time by counting along beats to the music

When no one was looking, Serval took forty Japari buns. She took 40 buns. That's as many as four tens. And that's terrible.
The sound of a ticking clock in a silent room is soothing like white noise.
I hear that it's more common that people can't read analogue clocks these days, so don't worry op it looks like ticking clocks are becoming a thing of the past.

I don't even acknowledge time anymore. I live forever in the moment. "Time?" They say. "What's that?" I reply. Like how I'm always simultaneously posting and not posting my horrible takes about this mortal coil.

Pretty sure the cuckoo clock was invented purely to anger people. The Swiss are notorious war profiteers.
