   @lyliawisteria I'll jump in with a defence of the humble clock
   
   They're great
   
   They let you coordinate with other people, I mean if you're always on your own then maybe not but if you want to meet up with your mates at 6ish to go <activity> then clocks are what you want
   
   Otherwise you have to be all "We'll meet up when the sun's about... thereish" and then it's cloudy and you either wait around for ages or they're waiting ages for you

      @lyliawisteria that's not to mention all the other ways clocks help out
      
      Navigation, for example. GPS for a start is just a bunch of clocks in a trenchcoat
      
      Want to find your latitude at sea? Literally impossible without clocks
      
      Most automation needs clocks too
      
      Clocks: they're fucking awesome
