No, but it can be hilarious

I have a mechanical wrist watch, so I do know this, but it’s got an automatic winding mechanism and I pretty much never take it off, so I rarely think about winding it except when it drifts too far. I really should have put 2 and 2 together before now. It never occurred to me to check that people were using the idiom correctly.

That makes way more sense!

Your underlying point is correct and I agree
But the pedant in me hates this saying. It’s almost never true. A clock broken in a very specific way is right twice a day, but how many clocks get broken like that? If they get smashed, and hands fall off, they can’t even show a valid time. Even then, they’re more likely to just run at the wrong speed, which makes it VERY unlikely they’ll show the correct time even once a day. Also most clocks are digital now! If those break, they show nothing!
Thank you for coming to my Tod Talk
Omfg, this whole comment section is actually infuriating. Y’all motherfuckers need jesus Liam
Aspartame is fine, sugar won’t hurt you. Just drink in moderation, and you’re golden.
Stop spreading FUD.
Eh, not curious about operating systems at least. I know a few hardware people who don’t give a shit about the software side of things. I’m a software guy, and I’m largely that way about hardware too. I have my logitech whatever-the-fuck mouse and keyboard, and who-the-hell-cares headset, and I’m good. Same with graphics cards/cpus/etc. I will be making the effort to switch to AMD when I next upgrade because fuck nvidia at this point, but historically, I didn’t care. I stuck with nvidia because I understand the versioning system. Dumb reason, I know, but also wtf AMD, why do I need a calculator to figure your shit out?
