Be me waiting for the minute on my phone to change so I can simultaneously press the clock button on the microwave and oven twice a year.
I always set an alarm on my phone and press it when the alarm triggers
Not sure why we’re throwing the Casio F-91W under the bus for this joke - the thing runs for years on one battery and only shifts off true time at like 1 second per year. They’re more accurate than alot of Casio’s more luxurious models even.
My microwave deserves the slander, though. Mechanical watches too, though they’re still nice to use. Speaking of which, I need to buy a sundial so I can keep my watch accurate after the US and its power grid collapses. Time keeping’s such a hassle sometmes.
I got this!

My cellphone also has a clock.
I’ve got that exact watch and it’s set to the correct time.
My microwave says 00:00 though 😞
My microwave predates digital timers on microwaves. Never saw the point of a microwave knowing the time of day.

A person with one watch always knows what time it is; a person with two watches never does.
So I need 3 watches got it.
Obsolete. My watch and my two clocks are radio controlled, the computers are synced by NTP. I even run a NTP-pool node.
Time dilation occurs when the affected equipment is made out of cheap materials in order to cut costs.
Usually I see them go out due to brief power flashes and none of them have even a CMOS battery -esque setup where it can simply retain the time during a power interruption, which is likely a result of your point.
More like, time dilation is impossible to perfect but the better the quality the more accurate it is.
Even atomic clocks have time dilation.
My appliances don’t drift much at all, but my Nissan car is fucked. That dash clock drifts by 5 minutes monthly.
Does anybody really care? 🎷
I love the smug tone of that song
I in no way can relate to this. In fact the microwave is the most visible clock in the house, given its location. As such it’s always set against if the power blinks out or whatever.
Every time I look at my microwave, I see a microwave with the correct time. I even set the clock on my hood range.
In fact, the only clock in my house with the incorrect time is the single analog clock in my house with dead batteries…
I have no clock in my apartment. To find out what time it is, I need to fire up one of my computers and look. Sometimes it’s the kindle
I just realized this for myself too. Wow.
I’m considering getting a clock for my kitchen
Adventure time?
I’ve got the only clock that matters to me , an alarm clock. Worst comes to worst, as long as it has power it can get close enough to current time/date via radio. It also makes setting it to exact time much easier/faster.
My house came with a built-in microwave/convection oven combo.
It had a Wi-Fi symbol on it and I’m like no fucking way I’m hooking this up to the internet. I manually set the clock and walked away.
The next day was a minute off, The day after that another minute off. I set the clock again in case there was a drift detection
Nope. There’s also no way to make the clock not come up.
And that’s how my microwave got its own isolation VLAN.
Just gave up on setting my microwave clock because of random power outages
