That's...the point of the saying.

Time is continuous, not discrete

[–] SorteKanin@feddit.dk 8 points 4 weeks ago

Well most clocks are not continuous though.

[–] gothic_lemons@lemmy.world 3 points 4 weeks ago (2 children)

Yeah but what if the clock is broken so it's like 15 minutes off all the time? Then it's never right. The right twice a day is just big idiom propaganda

[–] maccentric@sh.itjust.works 3 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

If it’s always off by 15 minutes, it’s not broken, it’s misconfigured.

[–] gothic_lemons@lemmy.world 1 points 4 weeks ago

And if it can't be fixed?

[–] Tikiporch@lemmy.world 1 points 4 weeks ago

Damn, that's a critical error. Good catch.
