Even a stuck digital clock is right once a day.

When it's stuck, yes. When it's broken and the display is of welll...

It might not be right, but it's never wrong.

Is that a thing that happens?

[โ€“] Vuraniute 1 points 2 months ago

If, say, the RTC dies or similar, then yeah

isn't it strange how they match up at such an exact number

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Funny how the imperial system matches at oddly exact numbers with the metric system... Strange indeed.

it's likely because their current definitions are both fixed on the melting and boiling points of water

Sorry i was /s, the entire imperial system is now defined through the metric system standards. For example, 1in is defined as EXACTLY 2.54cm. Fahrenheit is defined as EXACTLY 5/9โ (xย +459.67)ย [K] or 5/9(x-32) [C].
