Alphabetical clock

@catsalad which language is the reference?

@catsalad This is like a classic M&Co (https://www.theprintarkive.co.uk/products/3936-m-co-askew-clock-tibor-kalman?srsltid=AfmBOopXkvB5LpwPqC9kA7VpJzby0H13gC48NDlMAIdtgdftaA_se--t&variant=54873096290687), who made fantastic clocks and watches, including a very important one for cat owners!

@catsalad Looking at that clock is like inverting the vertical axis of your mouse for one day. Retraining causes massive neural disassociation, leaving you unable to use a mouse after switching back to what you believed to have mastered.

@catsalad I sat here for far too long going "that's not in lexographical order. That would be 1, 11, 12, 2,3,4,5..." Until I realised it's by the English spelling of the number.

[hcf@infosec.exchange]

@catsalad Does anyone read the numbers, or their names for this matter, on an analog clock face anyway? You may wipe the numbers off completely and yet I'll be able to tell the time.

[edgeofeurope@mastodon.social]

@catsalad The right order is

5 - cinque
10 - dieci
12 - dodici
2 - due
9 - nove
8 - otto
4 - quattro
6 - sei
7 - sette
3 - tre
11 - undici
1 - uno

@catsalad "Say, Bob, what time is it?" "A quarter to Th."

[rhoot@mastodon.gamedev.place]

@catsalad the best part with this is the clock would be different in different places

[veviser@mastodon.social]

@catsalad T - time takes up far too much of the clock face. A whole 25%!

@catsalad@infosec.exchange

Totally wrong it should be 8 3 1 11 9 10 12 2 4 5 6 7 (acht drie een elf negen tien twaalf twee vier vijf zes zeven)

[scottmichaud@mastodon.gamedev.place]

@catsalad I kind-of want to see one work, which would involving jumping around, especially if the minute ticks are also alphabetical.

@Amorpheus @catsalad

I have set the keyboard layout on my phone so that it runs on the QWERTY keyboard layout when using English language and on the Dvorak keyboard layout when typing in German. It took two weeks to be fluent on both layouts and now my brain doesn't even notice the difference anymore.

[axolotl1@gaygeek.social]

@catsalad I hate you and I hate this clock. My eyes are cursed and my tears will be forever tainted. I am less useful for spell components now. I don't like this fact.

[mxalba@blahaj.zone]

@catsalad@infosec.exchange

Or maybe.... 5 2 10 12 8 9 11 4 7 6 3 1 (cinq deux dix douze huit neuf onze quatre sept six trois un)

[zer0unplanned@friendica.rogueproject.org]

@catsalad Djeez! you scared me with this huge clock at start feed refresh!
