Dumbass just has it upside down it’s actually just LL:6
The thermometer Celsius sign and the precipitation percentage sign indicate that this is in fact the correct orientation
You mean
%65
And
)•L1
Both seem like perfectly cromulant measurements to me.
You Americans with your imperial system. 9:77 o’clock is 10:17 in metric. /s
I see the s, but you have it backwards. 9:77 is clearly metric time, with 100 minutes per hour…
ackshually … the French really tried something like that https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decimal_time
OP said Kmart, Kmart is dead in the USA, so the buyer is probably Australian or New Zealander.

Which makes waaaaaay more sense as everyone uses their phone for alarms now rather than a fucking clock lmao
Clearly it’s set to metric time
9.7 kiloseconds for my metric friends
Decimal time is the representation of the time of day using units which are decimally related. This term is often used specifically to refer to the French Republican calendar time system used in France from 1794 to 1800, during the French Revolution, which divided the day into 10 decimal hours, each decimal hour into 100 decimal minutes and each decimal minute into 100 decimal seconds (100000 decimal seconds per day), as opposed to the more familiar standard time, which divides the day into 24 hours, each hour into 60 minutes and each minute into 60 seconds (86400 SI seconds per day).
What are the laws in the US regarding this? In Germany, this clock is clearly defective and must be repaired or replaced or refunded by the vendor at no additional charge.
You could definitely get it repaired/replaced by the manufacturer
But, would you? You can probably return it to where you bought it, but that’s at least 10 mins of your life.
You could also throw it in the trash… That takes 0 minutes. That’s what they hope you’ll do, and so every other option is made possible, but frustrating
Please recycle electronics. Thanks!
How? I recycle e-waste personally, because I find disassembling it relaxing.
What is a normal person meant to do? I’ve been asked and I don’t know what to tell them
I’m sure most local/county recycling centers take electronics along with other recyclables (mine does). If not, retailers like Best Buy will take them at the customer service desk. Also, we have an electronic scrap bin at my place of employment, which is what I normally use. So many options!
In most places you can return it back for any reason and without one, if you still have a receipt.
At least within a relatively short time period, like 30 or 90 days.
But how do you measure time if the clock is broken?
You count? one mississipi, two mississipi etc
That clock obviously runs on military time. Easy mistake to make.
Money exchanged hands though, so it accomplished its purpose (of tricking the buyer). :-(
I’m sure he can return it to Kmart though
I don’ didn’t know there were still Kmarts around. Dollar stores and Wally World replaced them all in my part of the country.
There are still Kmarts??
Yes. Theres still a few surviving stores in America.
and there is a KMart in Australia that is totally unconnected to the other Kmarts that… I believe is still doing well? Not sure, not aussie.
Kmart here is still doing well.
I hate it so much when people say or write “the wife”. Riles me up
What would you have people say instead? “My wife”?
Incredibly out there, I know
Perhaps try a store that still actually exists, next time?
Kmart does exist…
Funny. They are on Lemmy.world but yet, forgot the world exists.
But it is weird to find out that a store known for cheap garbage and bad stores that went out of business is doing just fine on the murderous animal island so I get why they are confused.
