So assuming you actually have to...
You'll need to do something that doesn't come up in the social zeitgeist that often, but is instantly recognizable to anyone from that era.
Maybe talk about how a lot of the time people's watches said different times and you didn't know which ones were right?
Alternatively you can share some personal anecdote that relates to well known trends at the time. Like talk about listening to smells like teen spirit while smoking cigarettes stolen from your friend's older brother.
Is this an AI generated response?
I'm sorry for not just running around getting off on giving glib one liners. Dick.
The prompt was literally "one word".
Yeah that's why it looks like an AI generated response: it completely missed the mark with the prompt and taking the position that someone literally may have to do this thing.
Only an AI or someone trying to act smarter than they really are would do that. Now I know it's the latter and not the former.
Duuuuuuude
You are overthinking this.
Umm this didn't happen because you used quartz movements and called the atomic clock weekly. That's normal right? that was a normal thing to do? On the third beep it will have been completely normal.
...no? Most watches today don't even do that.
No the watch doesn't call you do and set it silly.
Though talking clock lines have mostly been discontinued in favour of NTP. As there are probably more phone clocks etc than watches perhaps now, in a way, most clocks do call the talking clocks haha
