Analog clocks are kind of annoying tbh. Sometimes you need that little extra energy you have to spend on wondering whether it is 11:37 or 11:38 already by carefully visually bisecting the circle section between 7 and 8.
Millimetres of white space keep you wondering about the nature of analogue vs digital, discrete vs continuous and measurement uncertainty while you have better things to do but cannot just give up on OCDing whether it is exactly 11:37:30 already or maybe it is 11:37:35? And boom in these seconds you were wondering it is already pointless because it is the past and now it is time to wonder if it is 11:38:15 or 11:38:30
Whereas for digital it is just:
oh it is 11:11 on 11.11.11, how cool, life’s good
Thus it is my opinion that analogue clocks are virgins whereas digital are chads
The specific time isn't as important as how long it is until things are going down. You know the part of the clock the minute hand will be pointing at when it's time to do shit then you got a handy little progress arc to check in on and instantly know when it's time to do the things.
So you say that your bowel movements are synchronised with your clock?
Kinda. Finishing my coffee is synchronized with the clock. I take a shit soon after that.
