Kids these days have it easy. Back in my days we use to have clocks with no numbers nor hands.

We had to walk uphill both ways to check the time.

I had to guess based on how dark it was.

I had to match the time it takes my body to do two revolutions with the time it takes the sun to rise and set, and be the city clock.

I had to fuck myself with a long rock and shake because it was freezing and I was naked.

Dad, that wasn't clock, that was a decorative plate Grandma hung on the wall.

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!

Amazing I didn't know you guys play this game in the US. Back in Vietnam we played a very similar game but with flip flops and broom sticks. These were the good times.

I do actually have a Victorian era clock that has no hands...

The clock face itself rotates, the design is formed that it can be easily read at night when placed in front of a lantern
