minus-squareArghblarg@lemmy.calinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up40·edit-21 month agoInteresting fact, thanks. As they say though, even a broken clock can be right twice a day Use of a phrase doesn’t automatically imply agreement with its originator.

minus-squareqantravon@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up11·1 month agoFor the phrase, “broken” specifically means “stopped”, and the clock is analog. If the hands don’t turn, then they will be correct twice per day.
minus-squareVintageGenious@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·edit-21 month agoThanks makes more sense! Idk why the downvotes… Because in the case of an offset it would always be wrong and in the case of a speed change. In the general case, with clock speed a and offset b: a x + b ≡ x (mod 12) a x + b = x + 12k If a=1, normal speed with offset, b = 12k ≡ 0 (mod 12) So it works for any multiple of 12h offset (ie no offset) If a≠1, x = (12k - b)/(a-1) It isn’t always in a day, so you can end up having to wait multiple days for it to be right

minus-squarestraightjorkin@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·1 month agoI mean, the phrase was made because they’re pussies who can’t handle criticism of their speech. In this use the “not able to crtisize” is literally having your ability to speak shut down.
