Sometimes I feel like I've got a reasonable grip on reality but then something like this comes along and completely throws me

It's a twelve hundred euro watch specially created for timing eggs for egg mayonnaise

They called it the Egg Master

There is no sane universe where this should be a thing

REALITY IS CRUMBLING AROUND ME AND IT IS ALL EGG MAYONNAISE

The MAT Watches Egg Master

It's a watch created for L'Association de Sauvegarde de l'Oeuf Mayonnaise (The Association for the Protection of Egg Mayonnaise)

It has a timer feature to boil the perfect egg

It's being released for this year's Eggs Mayonnaise World Championship

I am not making a single word of this up

@envgen the reason is because they all have tea-making facilities so yeah, I can see that

hahahahahaha

y'know how rolex has long waitlists? well, they're by specific model

so now that they've released new models everyone who was on the waitlist for a sub now needs to sign up for the new waitlist

and their position on the waitlist doesn't carry over!

@mavica @revolverocelot wouldn't want to violate the gdpr by not keeping people's data around

it's only a commodore amiga if it's in charge of more than one ship at a time and has a fancy hat

@mavica not even making that up

that was his actual name and he was a massive prick

politics, unserious reply 

@mavica @noelle *brings in... I dunno, Eminem for the audiobook version*

if you have 20 seconds...

@mavica double especially for anything with eight legs

they're the natural enemy of those of us with eight arms

(for real I'm arachnophobic though)

@noelle they all look like renders anyway so it might not have been a primary concern but ease of photoshop is always helpful

@noelle this of course is less of a concern for digital watches but a lot of the time the tradition is carried over

@noelle 10:10 is actually a long-standing standard for photographing watches for marketing materials, everyone does it

it's a position that's nice and symmetrical, doesn't cover up any of the bits on the dial like date window, text at the bottom, etc, and it frames the brand name and/or logo that's usually at 12

also it looks a little like a smiley face

@mavica if they're a couple bucks a month cheaper I might give them a shot but massively cheaper? hell no

considering it's a hemp pattern I'm expecting the green version will be repeatedly set to about 20 past 4
