    ugh my microwave loses time at the briefest of electric hiccups and demands the date be inputed before the time. YOU DON"T NEED TO KNOW THE FUCKING DATE TO REHEAT MY FOOD! I mean the clocks a bit of a convenience but my toaster oven atleast remembers what the time last was. I eventually will do it but its been living groundhong day on november eleventh 2011.

      I do the same lol.

      Though not because it’s hard to reach, it’s just my silent protest to changing the time.

    The cooker beats me every time. I usually have to turn it off and on at midnight.

    All clocks in my home must be perfectly synced with atomic time. I will sit there and wait until the very last moment before hitting the button to confirm the time on the microwave/stove/wall clock/etc., so that it doesn’t change over to the next minute until it’s supposed to.

    The irony is that the rest of my life is in complete chaos due to having untreated ADHD. Keeping accurate time is the one thing I care about having in order. Thankfully DST doesn’t exist where I live so I rarely have to re-sync everything more than once every couple of years or so.

    My stove has been blinking 00:00 for as long as I can remember. Lost power briefly about 6 months after I moved in and I never reset the clock.

        Wouldn’t it be correct just once a day if it’s military time? 00:00 would only be 12:00 AM. Noon would just be 12:00.

    I really wish there was like a lil i2c port on the back of every device so you could just plug in a lil clock synchronizer thingy and it would tell the device what time it is. Like it probably wouldn’t even cost that much to implement for the manufacturers. Standardizing on the connector and protocol would be a bitch tho

      I like this idea.

      I have an appliance that resets the time to midnight when plugged in. I had an idea to connect a smart plug to it on a schedule to set the time automatically.

      But have you considered that the action of changing the time requires you to make a choice, get up, shift context, actually do it, then shift back, tiring you out?

      This was made by the mental illness gang

      except my grandma’s stove which has a broken handle and sensor so it just guesses if you’re going forward or backwards and will randomly increment by like 15. I got it within 20 minutes then gave up because using pliers on the mangled remains of a stove knob was really annoying.
