    I wouldn’t call myself a lazy shit just because I don’t care to update the clock on my fucking microwave, oven and kitchen scale. Why do all these devices have clocks anyways it does not make sense.

        A timer works independent of whatever the current time is because it only needs to count down the passage of time. Also everyone already has multiple clocks on walls, wrists and phones.

          There are lakes, ponds and puddles that exist beyond any particular ocean, if you can grasp the analogy.

            I don’t know what you mean. I asked why do we need clocks on ovens. You said “to time cooking” but you can have a timer without a clock so it is still not needed and your answer is invalid.

              I mean your lived experience isn’t automatically everyone else’s. In farm country, no one wears a watch, it’s dangerous. No one is hanging a wall clock in the kitchen. Food needs to be timed, as well as getting it on the table. Fun fact: a lot of us still prep a smaller meal between lunch and dinner, it generally coincides with UK tea time, or an hour earlier. Farm work is labor intensive and requires more calories. Please comprehend some people have different realities, different needs.

      I mean I meant like if you have clocks on the walls and such. If you have them already, why not change. But you can’t help your microwave wanting to show you the time.

      Mine doesn’t. Never had a digital one, don’t really need one, the dial ones are good enough. My oven or airfryer don’t have clocks either. My wristwatch and phone update themselves.

      I was more thinking like my dad always being too lazy to change the clocks on the walls. Didn’t mean to offend you.
