Don't need math to read a tape measure micrometer or to know how much you need to take off of a part on a lathe

Your ability to know that eyeballing something is not a good method of measurement is also something else lol

Fuckin whats with kids who cant read analogue clocks.

I'm accurate down to about .3mm for eyeballing it

Its the simplest shit in the world and I learn that half of my cousins 8th grade class cant read one.

And for larger things that I over 6 feet I'm accurate within 2-4mm

eh, analog clocks are unnecessary use of brain power

@Banks=Gay that's actually kind of sad

Because people’s ability to understand simple things like 12*5=60 and that there two hands which go around allowing you to figure the time is going as people don’t use them. Since everything is digital or computer

But it takes no effort at all to learn one.

Its not fuckin trigonometry.

They know how, they just don't want to do the math

Yeah, I know it doesn’t

Learning how to juggle is just as much effort as learning how to read a clock you're using a part of your brain haven't used before. then again though I can juggle so maybe I'm wrong.

It’s because kids themselves are stupid since they play bloody iPads and shit from day one and not go outside or other activities which don’t involve a bloody screen

I never had a phone growing up so I guess my reliance on unnumbered watches just made me think that way

I use an analog clock maybe once or twice a week, when signing into a warehouse, while trying to talk to the customer, and I don't have the time nor inclination to do math in my head at that moment

I learn how to tell time with no clocks like at all.

Yes but you can’t if you don’t have a screen

I get little weird internal mental notes when it's like 12 6 and the morning and 6 at night

My point is that parents failed when they start to use a computer to solve all of their woes with their children

I'm at most off by like 5 to 10 minutes when someone asks me the time I don't even like need to check my phone

Well aren't you special?

I think it's just cuz I lived most of my life outside

Computers are outsourced brain power <:high_iq:382980759012638731>

Look you don’t need a computer when your fucking 3

I actually don't think I don't think it's actually a special thing I think it's just it's a product of How I Live. I bet people knew what time it was before we invented the sundial we just invented that s*** to make it easier

Oof. I never thought my mentioning of clocks would start such intense discussion

Because clocks are the ultimate example of people have gotten stupid

Analog clocks are stupid, and antiquated

you think this conversation is intense watch this. Hitler did everything wrong.

They also very useful for a great many tasks today

Im a fucker who can read the sundials and the sun itself for the time so it's just baffaling to me. Yall are probably right that its useless but I still just dont get it.

I actually agree that analog clocks are garbage they slow down they don't keep time well and I'm usually more accurate than they are.

For example mocking people who buy apple watches who spend a similar amount of money a small computer that will only work for a small period of time and not buying a mechanical mechanism watch that will last a life time

Who still wears watches? lol

You can get pretty close. Naturally its not 100%

@Banks=Gay. Can you tell what time of night it is by the Stars?

No. Thats beyond me im afraid

It's actually more accurate than measuring by the Sun

Engineers, doctors and most the high end professions
