I mean, she did post a video where’s laughing at a comedian doing a routine that was making jokes about the conflict… and she was also part of the crowd that warned against the rise of antisemitism due to the conflict…
But also it’s just random racism to point that out apparently.
I have old friends from Livejournal and that’s how we stay in touch. I use a lot of the fediverse platforms, Lemmy, Catodon, Pixelfed, and I also use Bluesky and Maven.
Guys lets be honest why point at small Numbers which you have to read in a specific sequence while doing some math when you can easily and nowadays probably more efficiently (paper-ink) display them… Analog clocks are going to disappear and people will watch at them with the same eyes as we watch a sundial…(Btw I had to search for the translation of the world sundial that’s how common it is … 😉)
I can ready It but i get teens Who dont
Analog clocks are a better representation of how we think of time than a digital clock.
If someone looks and immediately afterwards someone asks them for the time, they will look at their watch again. The number isn’t really what matters, it’s “how long until X will happen” that matters more.
You know you’re meeting is at 10:30, you see it’s 9:55. You know it’s about a half hour until the meeting, and the meeting will happen when that big hand gets to the bottom. The numbers themselves won’t do that for you, you have to think 60 minutes in an hour, 60-5 = 5 + 30 = 35 minutes away. When you check the digital clock again you see 10:17, so you have to think 30-17 = 13 minutes until the meeting. But with an analog clock it’s like a reusable progress bar (well progress arc to be more accurate). Quick glance and you see how far the minute hand has to go and you’re good.
Sure the mental math needed to get a sense of time with a digital clock isn’t all that hard. But it is an additional step over the adhoc progress arcs that analog clocks provide.
Digital clocks are fine and all, but are just slightly worse than analog clocks. Just how technology is going I guess, always giving us something that’s technically more advanced but worse for humans to interface with.
I just really enjoy the photo, the character looks funny. I agree that shit like this just causes division but at the same time it’s like any other rude meme towards group X or person Y. just another dumb meme to go ha ha to and move on
Anyone who wants to understand how to read an analog clock can learn it in two minutes, it’s not like you need to be taught in school. edit to add: My brother recently told me that he was at the library and his friend’s teenage daughter looked at the analog clock and said indignantly “I can’t read that!” So apparently it is true that people aren’t learning simple skills like this.
I personally know how to read an analog watch but I do it so rarely that it takes a bit of time thinking before I figure it out and convert it to 24 hour time. Because I use digital time absolutely everywhere and never analog time.
Hell I even got a digital wrist watch, mostly because it’s easier and faster to read for me but also because it’s more accurate. I will admit that the hitchhikers guide to the galaxy also played a role in the purchase.
When Jupiter or Saturn finally wins some competitions are they going to get their medals in the form of precious metals aersolized into a vapor and stuffed into a mason jar?
It’s true. I teach college kids, and a couple of years ago my class was taking a midterm. The room didn’t have a clock so I put my watch on the document camera display so they’d know how much time was left. A girl in the front row asked me what time it was, because she couldn’t tell time. After she turned in her test, thinking she must be kind of embarrassed about this, I told her I’d be happy to teach her how to tell time. She gave me a look like “ok, boomer” and said no thanks.
