They need to start making the clocks on stoves smart!

acs2468.bsky.social•30 days ago

Haven't changed mine yet. Maybe today. I haven't figured out how to change the microwave yet (newish place, but have been here 9 months). I lucked out at one point when the power went off in the fall. 🤣

princesshari.bsky.social•30 days ago

My husband does this all the time! lol

lfseligson.bsky.social•30 days ago

I know what you mean…

kevinmac27.bsky.social•30 days ago

Best think I find is to change just some of the clocks. You can live in a haze all year round.

davidcrowe.bsky.social•30 days ago

Your electric service is more reliable than ours.

kellyandrews.bsky.social•30 days ago

Ha! I got a Lazy Boy recliner for Christmas. It's still in the box.

mandievawt.bsky.social•30 days ago

Peak lazy boy.

observitor.bsky.social•30 days ago

I did the 5 button presses to set my alarm clock correctly today as well. Id been wondering why i felt so rested these last days xd

graham53.bsky.social•30 days ago

I managed to change the clock in my car

40bouncingbelgians.bsky.social•30 days ago

Me too.

bfgilme.bsky.social•30 days ago

Some believe that GPS solved the navigation problem. Many who were involved know the thing that animated the people in control of the $ was the prospect of eliminating the flashing VCR and micro-wave clocks.

mrwade01.bsky.social•30 days ago

Wait! I used to call those people "blinkers" like 40 years ago.... What the hell are they calling me behind my back out there?!?!?!

reallydebl.bsky.social•30 days ago

I turned it off
Makes life much easier

ebroskie1234.bsky.social•30 days ago

Same for my car.

lrushlau.bsky.social•31 days ago

For me it's the car that's now an hour early for 6 months.

sally1007.bsky.social•30 days ago

Same ✊️✊️😂😂

tynegal.bsky.social•30 days ago

Had just sorted mine so it's staying an hour slow.

lynncabrams.bsky.social•31 days ago

Ditto our car

liquidub.bsky.social•30 days ago

My bedside table clock is finally right, too, it was one hour behind for exactly 6 months, lol!

colettect.bsky.social•30 days ago

My mom refused to change her clocks. Only her phone had the correct time. She died in late 2023 after 92 years of a good life. I think of her every day & especially when the time changes!

matthewmatthew.bsky.social•30 days ago

Change it a week before the time change. I dare you.

babayaga52.bsky.social•30 days ago

Move to Arizona. We don't do the daylight savings thingy. 😄

benjamin-mom.bsky.social•30 days ago

I have a big clock in my hallway that I don’t take down to change!!
It screws me up sometimes, but that’s OK

agmsmith.ca•30 days ago

Our electro-mechanical oven clock is broken in a way that it can’t be set. Well, unless you turn off the power for 11 or 13 hours.

rayme.bsky.social•30 days ago

Thank-you for believing in the oven and never losing faith. 😭

zulajosefa.bsky.social•30 days ago

Indiana wants you!

mslizmc.bsky.social•30 days ago

Same with the clock in my car.

highlandcoo2.bsky.social•30 days ago

There’s a reason they call it “the devil’s time “😁

seawood65.bsky.social•30 days ago

Wait. The clock on your oven works ????

rockyraccoon6.bsky.social•30 days ago

Yeah my old truck keeps the same time year round. Lol

lesmj.bsky.social•30 days ago

I have 3 analogue wall clocks, one digital clock, a microwave and stove clock. It's the microwave that takes ten minutes for me to figure out how to reset. 😉

reallydebl.bsky.social•30 days ago

Just leave a few seconds on the timer when you cook something and you don’t have to see the clock. It’ll always be :07

lesmj.bsky.social•30 days ago

🤣 I think my husband invented that rule. 😉

reallydebl.bsky.social•30 days ago

😆 We used to have too many power blips and I was constantly having to reset blinking appliances. So I finally said the hell with it, I really don’t need to know the time from the distance of the oven to the micro 😆

lesmj.bsky.social•30 days ago

😉

jackthelad.bsky.social•30 days ago

I had to go online to find out how to change the the time, after shouting at it for 10 minutes

martinpickering.bsky.social•30 days ago

Seven months, not six - you've got the most efficient time zone inaccuracy in place

unclebernie.bsky.social•30 days ago

its the little things right?

st51.bsky.social•30 days ago

Fixed my car clock 2 days ago. My office will be correct in a few months.

gaiasmum.bsky.social•30 days ago

Lol...I have a old wall clock that is an hour ahead also....I never change it. I am so glad someone out there does the same. I just need to remember which 6 months it's correct.

mrwade01.bsky.social•30 days ago

I know right?!?!? But now I have to get used to not re-calumniating how little time I have left.

laswa.bsky.social•30 days ago

Like the one in my car 😂

dwall.bsky.social•30 days ago

My oven clock is only correct on the rare occasion that a power outage ends at exactly 12:00

v2-0.bsky.social•30 days ago

Same thing with the clock in my car. The way to change it is not very intuitive and I shouldn't have to look at the manual to figure it out.

humiandyou.bsky.social•30 days ago

Ditto - it's life enhancing..... plus saving me trying to work out what time it is!

janet1857.bsky.social•30 days ago

My car clock is like that, lol

carlosamammal.bsky.social•30 days ago

You want to try being somewhere that loses power ten times a year. With an oven that won't work unless the clock is set.

geez6405.bsky.social•30 days ago

I have a huge clock on my living room wall that requires a battery. I feel you!

oldlady628.bsky.social•30 days ago

Some clocks make it easier to do the quick calculation then to change the time

sarahbc1.bsky.social•30 days ago

I leave my wall clock at regular time, mainly because I can't reach it to change the time. It'll be correct again October.

wirz.org•30 days ago

I know the feeling… 😅

vickidavidson.bsky.social•30 days ago

DST is the dumbest thing ever.

antoinettan4.bsky.social•30 days ago

Me too!

tarsociety.bsky.social•31 days ago

Read reports already this am of people whose car clock will be back on time in the autumn.

ps9714.bsky.social•30 days ago

I'm this way about the date window on my mechanical wristwatches. Spoiled by Casio G-shocks, ostensibly.

darkfloors.bsky.social•30 days ago

Or ... move to Arizona or Hawaii and say goodbye to Daylight Savings Time forever!

biteback13.bsky.social•30 days ago

Same with my car

alphatozulu.bsky.social•31 days ago

My car clock is correct for the first time this year (in the UK). But it’ll be an hour slow next week…

alphatozulu.bsky.social•31 days ago

Just checked - nearly 7 months!😃

tibbittz.bsky.social•30 days ago

richard-de-groot.bsky.social•30 days ago

My advise: halve yours clocks run wintertime the other halve summertime

bellinghman.bsky.social•31 days ago

Two displays in the kitchen - the new combi microwave and the wall clock - updated correctly, but the oven, the rice cooker and the coffee machine are now incorrect

I know why the coffee machine needs a clock (it turns off automatically after a while), but not why it needs to know the time

andeeharry1.bsky.social•30 days ago

yeah, same as the car radio clock
