Dude! I had this exact alarm clock when I was a kid!

I'm 40 now and use my phone as an alarm clock. I haven't had a dedicated alarm clock in like 15 years now.

SNOOZ

The faux wood-grain— delicious

Oh, wow. A classic. Pretty sure that's the one my parents still use.

Do people still not have these kind of alarm clocks? I still use one very similiar to this.

I still use an old Sony cube alarm clock. I think it's probably at least 25 years old.

I stared at this trying to figure out what was wrong with that normal alarm clock.... Then I remembered it's not 1998 anymore. Fuck hahahahha

When I was very young I had a similar clock but instead of digital with a screen, it had those flipping number boards. It was really cool and was the coolest thing I owned until something caused the clock to start smelling smoky whenever it was plugged in.

That glorious alarm clock has probably seen more shit than I have .... arguments, fights, shootings, stabbings, murder, gun fights, torture, hurricanes, mob bosses, FBI surveillance teams, CIA operatives, Russian spies, Chinese spies, actual extraterrestrial aliens, house fires, rain storms, childbirth, broken bones, blood splatter, sex, so much sex, and more sex, seagulls, snowstorms, sea storms, sailors, fishermen, mermaids, pixies and little people.

The same alarm clock I have used since 1985. Still works like new.

Wuh waah waah waah waah waah. Smack. Just 5 more minutes.

Anyone else use these with a table top tape recorder to make mix tapes?

Or spend a lifetime looking at the residue atop, from summer melting a thick white rubber band wrapped around your Rocksteady action figure you tossed on top of your clock at bedtime?

The 80s were yesterday right? Weird to think how "just yesterday" the 50s and 60a felt to our parents which felt so foreign to our modern times. The size of the jump now.. jfc.. telling my kid about back in my day feels like medieval times. "We didn't have screens everywhere until a few years ago".. "it wasn't actually safer but they locked us out of the house all day"... Etc etc old man remarks

That was my (hand-me-down) alarm clock in high school in the mid-90s.

We had this exact one

Pretty sure I've owned that thing

July 4, 2024. The first time in my life I have mentioned simulated wood grain twice in one day.

I can hear this picture

Oooh yeah. I had a similar one and used the radio for the alarm because I would sleep through the buzzers but not music.

As much as I hate radio alarm clocks, this still looks sick

I got work at a fast food joint, back in the day. I had to change my alarm clock because the alarm it made was similar to the beep on the fry machines. I was waking up in a instant rage.
