@mavica *hug computer*

@InspectorCaracal honestly not much, it's an obscure topic even for me

there's this website I found which has a lot of info about wadokei (the mechanical clocks that were developed that use this system) https://wadokei.org/

the seiko museum also has a couple of articles https://museum.seiko.co.jp/en/knowledge/relation_07/ https://museum.seiko.co.jp/en/knowledge/relation_16/

@noelle @artsyhonker @amphetamine THAT'S WHO IT WAS

I remembered that the traditional japanese system used something like this 'cause I've seen some neat clocks that do it but I knew there was another example and couldn't remember who it was

@artsyhonker that sounds a lot like the traditional japanese time system, 6 daytime units from sunrise to sunset, 6 nighttime units from sunset to sunrise, length of the units changing to match how much/little sun there is

in the Edo period clockmakers had a lot of fun making clocks that worked all that out

@Jo I know it would have been solved in five seconds flat if someone came over the tannoy and said "those blokes with guns support millwall"

@gcupc HAPPY BIRFDAY!

@LaserScheme wooOOOoooOOOoo

@mavica a look around also lead me to finding out that this is a product that exists http://www.yummymeds.com

damn kids these days, having choices of what they want their drugs to taste like

@mavica I never had the flavoured antibiotics, were they syrupy like things?

'cause you can get raspberry syrup that's made for adding to coffee and cocktails, that might be somewhere to start from

@mavica bblblblblbbbbbllllbbbbblblblblbllllbbb

my gender is that one that rampages through a town nicking stuff

@syrup *is basically beanbag that can also pet*

@syrup due to lack of a lap how about using my squishy body as pillow while I pet?
