I'm mostly talking about this entire comment thread and not just this comment, but what's with people on Lemmy and putting so much value on analogue clocks? I saw someone here a few weeks ago, who said that you couldn't be intelligent if you didn't know how to read a clock. I can read analogue clocks and I can understand why people like them, but digital clocks have their own advantages and I can absolutely understand people preferring them. It almost feels like a similar situation to 12 hour vs. 24 hour time, where people who use one system don't understand why they would want to use the other one.

I don't really 'see' analog or digital anymore, I've transcended that clock racism and now all I see is the format-agnostic bitstream.

Probably because they’re dead simple.

It’s not even about preference but about versatility and adaptability.

You don’t have to be prefer to use them, but being able to deal with the unexpected and figure out the unfamiliar is generally a sign of intelligence.
