Ah that make sense . These karma whores i tell ya.
That's why you should always include a banana in the picture. Then we can tell if the clock is right side up in relation to the banana.
In was looking for a small space heater for the bathroom because it gets so cold in the morning. There was one that was a plug in into the outlet kinda like a night light, and had a temperature display. There was a one star review along the lines of
This thing is garbage! It just keeps saying nonsense like 9L! Needs better instructions!
I flipped the photo upside down and...
LL:6 already! I'm late for my harmonica recital!

You Americans with your imperial system. 9:77 o'clock is 10:17 in metric. /s
I see the s, but you have it backwards. 9:77 is clearly metric time, with 100 minutes per hour...

OP said Kmart, Kmart is dead in the USA, so the buyer is probably Australian or New Zealander.
Also the clock says it's 17 degrees Celsius, although to be fair I think it's established that the clock is unreliable.

What are the laws in the US regarding this? In Germany, this clock is clearly defective and must be repaired or replaced or refunded by the vendor at no additional charge.
In most places you can return it back for any reason and without one, if you still have a receipt.
At least within a relatively short time period, like 30 or 90 days.
But how do you measure time if the clock is broken?
I don't know if there are laws about it but most places will let you return for store credit at least.

That clock obviously runs on military time. Easy mistake to make.
This broken clock never right once!
This clock is clearly using the galactic alphabet. Buyer should have looked before buying.
always check the packaging to make sure you're buying a clock that's base 60. Especially from Kmart
Can confirm my base 60 clock from Kmart says its 42:32pm right now.

Money exchanged hands though, so it accomplished its purpose (of tricking the buyer). :-(

I hate it so much when people say or write "the wife". Riles me up
Like it or not "the wife" was a change in language seen as progressive not too long ago because it recognises that a man doesn't own a woman.
What would you prefer "my wife" implying ownership. "A wife" implying a non specific wife of anyone.
Or they name them on social media to avoid mentioning their marital status and ignoring their relationship to them.
I'm genuinely curious how this person should, in your view, refer to the person they've married.
My wife is absolutely fine in my books. The same way you can say my friend or my acquaintance or what have you, you can say my spouse/wife/husband/whatever without implying any sort of ownership. My view might be skewed being an ESL, but the same applies to German, Russian, Ukrainian, French, for example, which I speak too. I've never heard people complaining over those usages
I say either my wife, or the wife is fine.
I've just stated the reason "the wife" exists at all is a reaction against historical patriarchal language.
I've heard different people complain about both and they were always insufferable people trying to nit pick the conversation into a boring place.
Like you!
"my dad"
I do not own him. Wtf is that argument?? It's not a descriptor of ownership but relation.
"No he can't be YOUR dad, he's MY neighbor"
This whole thread's logic is whack.

"My" can, but certainly doesn't always imply ownership. It implies that the qualifier for person B in the sentence is applied to their relationship to me, person A.
My banker, my hairdresser, my dentist, my accountant, my contractor, my neighbor, my boss, my elected official, etc.
Probably not at all on you, here, but this is a good example of "exaggerated progressivism" or fake-woke/politically correct speech. It weakens the credibility of the progressive movement and gives conservatives silly exaggerations to point to and mock, when this kind of stuff emerges.
Just my 2 cents!
My banker, my hairdresser, my dentist, my accountant, my contractor, my neighbor, my boss, my elected official, etc.
Why do you have slaves? /s

We converted to decimal time.
It's upside down. The time is LL:6.
The clock in my car says that the year is 2165. Sometimes it corrects itself to the right year after a while, sometimes it doesn't. 🤷♀️
