- az09mugen 1y agoAhah nice one, thanks for sharing !
- thrance 1y agoSlightly unnerving seeing seconds pass by 15.74% faster.
- HPsquared 1y agoUncanny valley. Never seen a clock do it before.
- wyett 1y agoMy thoughts too.
- Dylan16807 1y agoNever played most of the super mario games, then? Or is that timer too abstracted?
- HPsquared 1y agoI think platform games already warp the sense of time a little. You get into the rhythm of the game. Or, say, a musical beat.
- pavlov 1y agoFeels like living in the future. Progress marches on faster than ever. Honestly a brilliant marketing move by the French revolutionaries, just a few hundred years too early.
- HideousKojima 1y agoIf they were truly revolutionary they would have gone for base 12 or 60 instead of 10

- timewizard 1y agoThe USPS uses decimal time for it's time keeping system. It serves almost no functional advantage. http://www.nalc3825.com/ETC_clockring_entries.pdf http://www.nalc3825.com/ETC_clockring_entries.pdf
- userbinator 1y agoDecimal minutes instead of seconds, to be precise.
- saalweachter 1y agoThe way it should be. So imagine we get to Mars, establish a colony. Mars has a day which is 24h 36m. We could have all of our Martian colonists adhere to an Earth day of 24 hours, with sunrise and sunset drifting around the clock, or we could have them observe an extra 25th hour of the day that lasts 36 minutes. Or, we could define the Martian day as 24 Martian hours of 60 Martian minutes of 61.5 seconds, with seconds the invariant interchange time between planets. In turn, seconds stop being a unit of human timekeeping, and everyone just uses decimal minutes as the final subdivision.
