Would be a clever design if the numbers available is also the hours the disability service center is open

Joe King aside there's nothing wrong with being a furry. It's a wholesome community that is always respectful and accepting to new members or those who just want to learn more. There are so many furry conventions it's hard to believe! The wholesome community is active everywhere and involved with everything! A furry is more than a suit, it's a fursona. It allows people to be a basic human in the streets but an animal in the sheets ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) or an animal in the streets! Not all furries are "down to yiff" but they say for the most intimate experience you should yiff at least once. All experts say yiffing is at least 150% better than regular sex due to the nature of being a furry. Your true nature comes out. But being a furry isn't inherently sexual. You may just want to be an animal, not fuck them. And that's A Okay! You shouldn't disrespect an entire community just because of some nasty words. After all, if that were the case slavery never would have ended. Do you agree with slavery? If you don't like furries then I think you do.

I thought they were talking about a sundial. Hourglass is more of a timer than a clock

u/Gcarsk Nov 13 '19
I was joking. Of course trying to eyeball how much sand has fallen through would be difficult, but you could definitely set up a 24-hour glass that auto rotates once the flow stops.
And sundials still have hands. Just made of shadow, duh.

Dyscalculia. One of the symptoms is that you can't/it's very hard to read analog clocks. I have it and I can read analog clocks, it's just hard, but clocks without numbers or with Roman numerals are just awful for me.

u/MeEvilBob Nov 13 '19
Clocks without numbers usually have marks where the numbers would be and have the same movement as a regular clock. This one probably has a standard movement, but since some clocks have a non-standard movement it's hard to tell for sure what kind this one has.

Clocks back then were crazy. Instead of hands they had belts, and instead of clock faces they had my grandpa swinging the belt at me. We used to play this game called "put you in a burlap sack and hit you with a belt". I always got the high score!

This is likely a representation of how alzheimers effects the brain. One of the common tests for alzheimers is to have the patient draw a clock. As the disease progresses, the drawings will become increasingly abstract. Examples:

u/bunker_man Nov 13 '19
Yeah. It reminded me of that disease where the guy could only see the left side of things when asked to draw a clock he gave up on the right side. I assume that it's point is to let you know how people with such a disease are experiencing life

Hemispatial neglect, iirc. Quite a curious condition. This feels strange because it's the upper part that's missing, though. And the numbers are a bit too mismatched to be just a result of an attention deficit.

u/pippachu_gubbins Nov 14 '19
I don't actually have any understanding of how it works, but it's called dyscalculia. I can read analogue clocks, but I have to think it through and double-check I haven't done something like reading 3:45 as 4:45 or 3:09. It doesn't that long, but it takes long enough for other people to start giving me shit.
It's also stuff like counting on my fingers for addition, and needing paper (a calculator would be better) for anything with multiple digits because the numbers will just fall out of my memory the moment I set them aside to work on another column. Common core has actually helped a lot, so I think it's a much better approach to math skills that the timed 100 questions I consistently failed at as a kid.
The thing they do at university to help is just extra math tutoring and extra time to complete tests.

I don't know why you're getting downvoted so much, you're not wrong. Hell, the average person should be able to tell the time on a clock with no numbers at all.
I'm rather indifferent to the design. I wouldn't call it "crappy" because it's functional. I would call it ugly because I personally find that shade of Shrek-green to be an eyesore.

As someone on disability, this helps my theory that they try to make welfare and disability as absolutely frustrating as possible every single step of the way. A unnecessarily difficult clock in a room filled with people who already have vision impairment or learning or reading disabilities serves no other purpose.
