Reply to comment by [deleted] in Alarm clock lasted over two decades and somehow knows when daylight savings is still by VapeMySemen

Mine is off 10 minutes too! Out of curiosity, do you remember if yours was slow or fast? Mine was fast, I was early to so much shit before I figured it out

Is it an analog or digital clock? For the analog ones, there is a synchronization procedure so it can “learn” the positions of the hands (it doesn’t know where they are; it learns them once then remembers how far it’s moved them). This needs to be repeated periodically, such as when changing batteries.

It’s digital, it’s only a few years old too, 5 at the most. It’s one of those ones with multiple functions, but everything else seems to work fine.

How very odd! Perhaps at some point it traveled 10 minutes in a time machine, and now shows a permanent, residual temporal displacement. 😉

Gosh darn it! Why didn’t I think of that? It’s so obvious now

I want to say fast, but might have been slow. It’s been a number of years.
