@noelle @artsyhonker @amphetamine@slime.global THAT'S WHO IT WAS

I remembered that the traditional japanese system used something like this 'cause I've seen some neat clocks that do it but I knew there was another example and couldn't remember who it was

@artsyhonker that sounds a lot like the traditional japanese time system, 6 daytime units from sunrise to sunset, 6 nighttime units from sunset to sunrise, length of the units changing to match how much/little sun there is

in the Edo period clockmakers had a lot of fun making clocks that worked all that out

@Jo I know it would have been solved in five seconds flat if someone came over the tannoy and said "those blokes with guns support millwall"

@gcupc@glitch.social HAPPY BIRFDAY!

reminder that the clocks change tonight for large sections of the world that use daylight savings

@LaserScheme wooOOOoooOOOoo

@mavica a look around also lead me to finding out that this is a product that exists http://www.yummymeds.com

damn kids these days, having choices of what they want their drugs to taste like

@mavica I never had the flavoured antibiotics, were they syrupy like things?

'cause you can get raspberry syrup that's made for adding to coffee and cocktails, that might be somewhere to start from

@mavica bblblblblbbbbbllllbbbbblblblblbllllbbb

my gender is that one that rampages through a town nicking stuff

wait, no, gander, that's a gander

@syrup *is basically beanbag that can also pet*

@syrup due to lack of a lap how about using my squishy body as pillow while I pet?

@mavica you computer!

ah, another homestuck for me to be blissfully ignorant of
