@bea I've not actually seen the battery life of the MQ24 anywhere, but this is a watch that's somehow cheaper than a new watch battery so it doesn't matter too much

I keep tooting pictures and articles about really expensive watches, let's take this back to basics

This is the Casio MQ24-7BLL

It costs less than even the venerable F91-W, it's made of plastic and shows the hour, minute, and second only

Despite that, it's fucking brilliant

For less than the price of a cup of coffee you get a highly legible, accurate enough, reliable watch

And if you want celebrity endorsements, the fucking Pope wears one

@masklayer since when did he do anything that could be considered "film-making"?

@squirrel rawwrrrr maple!

@sydneyfalk ah, that makes more sense now, cheers

I was trying to explain the concept of a "smartwatch" to someone

"...and that's what it does"
"but why?"
"no idea"

If anyone does know why smartwatches are a thing, answers on a postcard please

@noelle honestly I thought we were rehashing the 80's, guess I was a decade out

@squirrel I'm not sure if it was perfect, but it was what we had and it was damn good

@noelle did they try to make it as utterly boring a flag as possible?

@candle hold up, real or "real" real?

@squirrel HI GAY FURREY! I'M OCTOPUS!

@noelle @a_breakin_glass I'd quite like him to do the entire thing on helium and in the Palpatine voice

@noelle @a_breakin_glass apparently the speech will be broken down section by section and commented upon by various people?

It's for the 50th anniversary of the 1968 Race Relations Act or something

@chosafine@instance.business hm, I've just remembered that last year Trader Joe's tried to claim they'd just invented the sausage roll

That'd would go nicely with the mayoketchup that Heinz just "invented"
