you've awakened the watch nerd
@lyliawisteria@weirder.earth I'll jump in with a defence of the humble clock
They're great
They let you coordinate with other people, I mean if you're always on your own then maybe not but if you want to meet up with your mates at 6ish to go <activity> then clocks are what you want
Otherwise you have to be all "We'll meet up when the sun's about... thereish" and then it's cloudy and you either wait around for ages or they're waiting ages for you

@lyliawisteria@weirder.earth that's not to mention all the other ways clocks help out
Navigation, for example. GPS for a start is just a bunch of clocks in a trenchcoat
Want to find your longitude at sea? Literally impossible without clocks
Most automation needs clocks too
Clocks: they're fucking awesome
