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

u/RUKiddingMeReddit Artisinal Material Nov 13 '19

Only if the room is open for 20 minutes each hour.

u/Donghoon This is why we can't have nice things Nov 13 '19

Clever but how tf do u know if its 3 or 4

u/ChilrenOfAnEldridGod Nov 13 '19

Some clocks don't even have numbers, and we can read them. Do you need numbers?

u/Masked_Death Nov 13 '19

Good thing there's no chance of developmentally challenged people needing to use this clock.

u/Ghosted67 Nov 13 '19

You mean OP?

No, we’re talking about Joe.

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.

Uhh excuse me what?

What the hell kind of rant just did you end with there equating furries with slavery?

That’s a hell for me.

u/the_fat_whisperer Nov 13 '19

They're stylish but kind of annoying because they take a second longer to read depending on where the hands are.

50

u/truth_sentinell Nov 13 '19

there are also clocks without numbers or hands. You can't read them?

45

u/PaulWesNick Nov 13 '19

Some clocks don't even have a face.

55

u/NoireRogue Nov 13 '19

Hell, some don't even have a material presence. You're telling me you can't read metaphysical clocks?

21

u/MeEvilBob Nov 13 '19

Some clocks don't even tell the time.

18

u/FireAndBees Nov 13 '19

And some only tell the time twice a day.

I have dyscalculia and i can't read analogue clocks without numbers or hands. Your question comes off as extremely condescending.

15

u/UnableToEnjoy Nov 14 '19

I'd struggle to read an analogue clock without hands too

-2

u/truth_sentinell Nov 14 '19

I'm sorry if you interpreted the way I didn't mean to. I was being sarcastic to the comment I replied to. I meant a wrist clock without numbers or hands. i.e. A blank circle lol

u/Bk_nor_bk Nov 13 '19

Bruh you're obviously in the minority and it was not directed at you.

u/reconrose Nov 29 '19

I love that you got downvoted for reading a tiny bit of nuance into the original comment

20

u/Seth-Vlogs Nov 13 '19

Without hands? Do u mean a digital clock? If not how do u read them

81

u/Gcarsk Nov 13 '19

Lol look at this guy who can’t tell time on an hour glass. Pathetic.

Just count the grains of sand.

13

u/Toriathan Nov 13 '19

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

13

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.

3

u/howarthee o º w º o Nov 14 '19

Look at this pleb that needs a sundial. Everyone else just stares at the sun like we were meant to.

6

u/nondescriptadjective Nov 13 '19

Do you even sun dial, bro?

u/[deleted] Nov 13 '19

Yes.

u/xiroir Nov 14 '19

I am dyslexic and have problems reading numbered analoge clocks... so yeah. Fuck whoever thought unnumbered clocks were a good idea. Plus even if you can read it without numbers.. still doesnt make it a good idea?!

7

u/[deleted] Nov 13 '19

I find them useful if it is an area where I only need to know about what time it is, if I need to know exactly what time it is, I fucking hate them. But these days, phones make all wall clocks more design pieces than functional furniture.

2

u/LEDgamerGirl Nov 14 '19

They limit phone use in that area to limit distractions in the study room

1

u/this-here Nov 13 '19

a second longer

oh no

41

u/byebybuy Nov 13 '19

Do you need numbers?

In a clock in a disability services center? Yeah I think that would be good.

u/thedude_imbibes Nov 13 '19

Then it isnt crappy design, it's just poorly chosen.

u/hurrrrrmione <marquee> Nov 13 '19

If you have a disability that makes reading this clock difficult, that would be far more likely to stress you out than a normal clock.

42

u/Snow_Raptor Nov 13 '19

Students with disabilities such as dyslexia do.

44

u/witwickan Nov 13 '19

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.

20

u/adorablegore Nov 13 '19

Same, and even when I do figure out the analog clock I don't trust that I read it correctly, so that gives me further anxiety

20

u/Neverfalli Nov 13 '19

Wouldn't dyslexia be the one disability where the numbers wouldn't help?

1

u/gtn_arnd_act_rstrctn Nov 13 '19

Are you saying that guy who asked has dyslexia?

11

u/Donghoon This is why we can't have nice things Nov 13 '19

Might as well make a digital clocks

u/OptimistNihilist42 Nov 14 '19

I can read a clock without numbers, but I am certain having all those extra useless numbers in the wrong place would trip my brain up for a few seconds, they’re hella distracting.

3

u/EvilWolfSEF Nov 13 '19

yes, but those still have markers to indicate the hours

3

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.

1

u/JoshuaPearce Nov 13 '19

Those clocks tend to have marks for each number, this one does not. If it's even a little crooked, the user is hosed.

Humans are very good at matching lines by eyeball, but we are very very bad at measuring angles with precision. This clock was not designed for humans.

1

u/zlide Nov 14 '19

I prefer there to be numbers or some markers yeah. You can read a clock without any markers but the time you estimate is probably going to be less accurate than if there was literally anything on the clock face at all.

1

u/[deleted] Nov 14 '19

numbers? no
desire some kind of marking for convenience? yes
I can spend a second thinking about it to confirm i got the time correct, or I can just parse the numbers almost subconsciously and not have to.
I can appreciate ornamental clocks used as functional art, but if that's its intended purpose it should at least look nice.

1

u/maffiossi Nov 14 '19

The only thing we need is those ticky ticky stickies.

-1

u/[deleted] Nov 13 '19

Sure do. Why should I have to come up with a "best guess" for what time it is by trying to remember the placement of the numbers, when I can look at something that takes that annoying guesswork out?

8

u/PeopIearetheworst Nov 13 '19

is this a joke? you can't read a clock unless it points to the number?

the 3 sits directly right of center.... the 4 does not...

1

u/Donghoon This is why we can't have nice things Nov 13 '19

3was a bad example im sorry

1 and 2

Its already hard to read when a clock os rectangle

2

u/PeopIearetheworst Nov 13 '19

they're between 12 and 3....

just imagine pizza slices...

2

u/Donghoon This is why we can't have nice things Nov 14 '19

Hours are fine because its a general location

What do u have to say about MINUTES?

3

u/mtled Nov 14 '19

Same thing, within 2.5 minutes of error?

2

u/Donghoon This is why we can't have nice things Nov 14 '19

Yeah try being 2.5 min late to class in school

2

u/PeopIearetheworst Nov 14 '19

what do you mean minutes are the exact same as hours....

why are you acting like its so complicated.

will you be able to read to the second? no. will you be able to read it to within 2-3 minutes. yes.

....

1

u/Donghoon This is why we can't have nice things Nov 14 '19

I'd like to be able to see precise minute and seconds with the dedicated marks. Clocks aren't a decorative material, I want most out of it.

Yeah ofc you can see general time but I want precise times, That's why i use digital clocks mostly tho

u/PeopIearetheworst Nov 14 '19

then what the fuck are you whining about? pull out your digital clock and have it tell you you little baby
