So someone made this post on Mastodon: https://infosec.exchange/@catsalad/116268399785747534 And that led another person to make this site: https://boat.horse/clock/index.html This feels like some real old school internet stuff. For the younger folks out there, this is the kind of stuff that would pop up all the time on the internet in the late 90s and early 00s. No reason for it beyond it being cool and beautiful. While the animated clock in the link sort of hurts my head, it still is beautiful.

@fskornia I'd say this is not very _early_ internet in how it actually is quite pretty and has smooth and nice animations. Funny though.

@fskornia what time is it? Oh no. What time is it? Abandon all hope. What time is it? A silencing that skins your ears. What time is it? What time is. What time. What.

@fskornia People keep showing this, but I'd like to see it actually working. The hands should jump to the right number every second, minute, and hour.

@fskornia We had Roman Numerals on the clock in our classroom. That was fun. What time is it? Eye-eye past eye-ex. To ourselves. The teacher insisted we translate.
